Additionally,results emerge casting HSB as a must-learned skill for engineering students. Gender and ethnicconcerns are discussed.IntroductionHelp-seeking behavior is of particular importance when evaluated against the requirements forABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology). Graduates from ABETaccredited institutions must have: “an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, andengineering; an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems; an ability tofunction on multi-disciplinary teams; …and an ability to engage in life-long learning”1(p41). Inorder to achieve these objectives

No students disagreed with these statements.In the free response section, key benefits cited for the HyFlex format were ability to keep up withthe course and to re-watch the videos if the student did not understand a concept. Of the sixstudents who reported a disadvantage to HyFlex, reduced interactions with classmates and theinstructor were the most frequently mentioned disadvantages.Conclusions: This pilot study indicates that a HyFlex course format has been viewed favorablyby engineering and technology students and may help them better meet academic and non

enhancethe learning experience and outcomes in engineering education. The choice between online, face-to-face, and hybrid models should consider factors such as course content, student preferences,and learning outcomes. Overall, the literature suggests that blended/hybrid learning andinteractive approaches within a blended framework can enhance learning outcomes inengineering education, while careful consideration of technology and student expectations iscrucial for the effectiveness of online and hybrid modalities.Designing a well-structured course is essential for facilitating student learning and engagementin both synchronous and asynchronous formats. This involves carefully organizing coursematerials, providing clear instructions and

Developments overthe past decade have focused on sustainable long-distance aviation technologies, urban airmobility, low-cost access to space, and the commercialization of human spaceflight, to name buta few. These and other projects continue to demand talented engineers to support their researchand development. The NSF REDO-E grant supporting this study identifies several ways in whichdiversity in engineering consistently yields improvements across many facets of the discipline.Groups with higher diversity consistently demonstrate improved overall performance [1] as wellas improved understanding of relevant subject matter [2]. Such groups are also more adept atmaking ethical decisions [3], which is of especially critical

Although onescholar mentioned “falling in love with Physics” because of an eleventh-grade class and twoother scholars referenced excelling in Technology-Education classes while in high school(Action Possibilities: educational experiences), it is clear from these interviews that the influenceof family members is the primary reason why these scholars are pursuing engineering. In fact,five of the seven scholars explicitly pointed to a family member as their greatest influence and intwo of those cases the scholar identified their father as being an engineer. Speaking about thisinfluence, one scholar said since “my father was an electrical engineer, I already knew that waslike a big possibility for me” (Action Possibilities: following in steps of role
