learn with the real world situation. One of the students mentioned “Before we startedthis class I was not exited for it. I even did not know what it is about. I thought GeotechnicalEngineering course is similar or another level of Geospatial Technology course. However, whenthe semester started we went to the construction site. From that visit the whole idea aboutGeotechnical Engineering changed. It was very interesting in my opinion. Also, meetingexperienced engineers changed all my thoughts about Civil Engineering. They are very preciseand careful in everything. I am being very honest and in my opinion, the site visit was very usefuland changed a lot in my mind”. The site visit really helped to connect theory with practice asanother student

Coding Two interviews are used here to illustrate the interview approach and initial classificationof the data. Participant 1 was a fifth year senior majoring in electrical engineering and theParticipant 2 was a fourth year senior majoring in industrial engineering. Participant 1 had astrong influence from his stepfather and readily mentioned his mother and a male churchmember as influences. The stepfather provided access to various technology-based activities thatsparked this participant’s interest in computers. The stepfather also verbalized and exemplified acommitment to “be the best”. Participant 2 had less identifiable family influences, but manycritical incidents that occurred along the academic path.

Technology. This paper will discuss the rational behindthe integration methods adopted in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, theSchool of Mechanical Engineering, and in the joint program between the Schools of Civil andEnvironmental Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering.It is important to note that there were three common motivating factors that led each School todevelop an in-house program. These common factors were the following: • EAC/ABET’s requirement that competence in written and oral communication must be demonstrated by each engineering graduate (Section I.C.3.g.); • Growing awareness within the Schools of the need for engineers to be able to clearly and directly communicate with their

As new centers of technological excellence arise, firms and universities in the United Stated may find it increasingly difficult to recruit scientists and engineers from abroad, currently an important source of supply. 2. During the 2000 – 2010 period, employment in Science and Engineering occupations is expected to increases about three times faster than the rate for all occupations. 3. The long-term trend has been for fewer students to enter engineering programs. 4.

Students' perceptions were studied through both quantitativeLikert-scale questions and free-response to open-ended questions. 1. IntroductionIn the history of Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, one ofthe foundations for evidence-based pedagogy were models that derived from informationprocessing theory [1]-[2]. Although this theory had proposed active cognitive processes inmemory consolidation (e.g., elaborative rehearsal [1], central executive [2]) along with themultiple modules of memory (e.g., sensory memory, long-term memory), its implementation inclassroom settings often resulted in emphasis in

].Diversifying the engineering workforce is not only beneficial for improving the social andeconomic mobility of historically marginalized racial groups, but it is necessary for theinnovation and technological advancements that are hallmarks of the U.S.’s globalcompetitiveness [12]. Identifying practices that effectively support traditionally underrepresentedstudents in engineering education is critical for improving their sense of belonging (both to theprofession and the institution), which can result in improved academic persistence and degreecompletion [13]. Interventions that target students during their first-year of college represent aparticularly salient strategy for broadening participation in engineering, as it is during this timethat students

Widening the Umbrella in the Midst of a Pandemic: Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science Students Join First Year Engineering Design CourseAbstractBackground: Prior to emergency remote instruction in Spring 2020, the UVM College ofEngineering and Mathematical Sciences (CEMS) began a significant realignment ofundergraduate curricula across its Engineering (Mechanical, Civil, Environmental, Biomedical,Electrical), Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science programs. An early outcome of thistransition was the redesign a first-year seminar course (1 cr.), previously only available tostudents in engineering. The proposed course (CEMS-050) would be required for all incomingfirst-time, first-year students (~300) and would create

engineering degrees should be interdisciplinary andmultidisciplinary. Skills related to new technologies, digitalization, and soft skills areessential. Engineering has been stereotyped as weak in soft skills (interpersonal skills,communication), so there should be a change in the tunnel mind of "what I do" tounderstanding what others do and how they relate.Therefore, everyone must understand and participate in how things and technology areevolving in the upcoming workforce.
