In order to do this, they plan toconstruct an instrument to quantify the self-efficacy of undergraduate engineering studentstoward their future employment in engineering. This research will then be used to improvementoring and undergraduate research opportunities to aid more students in the development ofself-efficacy. Findings from this and previous work will enable us to find relevant and pertinentconstructs to target with a self-efficacy instrument for engineering professional practice. Sinceaccording to Bandura, “there is no all-purpose measure of self-efficacy [13],” it is important thatthe instrument be tailored specifically to one area of self

Connecting industry partners to theinstitution has helped in organizations meeting their community service project goals, fillingboth internship and full-time employment needs, adding academic expertise to solve sometechnical problems, and can be an effective part of a college recruiting plan. Students benefitfrom seeing the relevance of their academic work to real world problems, exposure to industryprofessionals and employment opportunities, and exposure to equipment the institution does nothave. The industry benefits from access to the pipeline of future employees and great marketing.This paper presents how one university develops and uses industry

The only kind of confusion that I had which I am currently figuring out now is the route of medical school versus graduate school. That’s the big decision as an undergrad I didn’t make right away and after I graduated I worked for a couple of years, now I’m back deciding really what I want to do for the rest of my

In contrast, several negative responses from women,people of color, and/or international students about the social climate demonstrated that there isstill work to be done to make the community in the program more inclusive to traditionallyunderrepresented students. This is in line with the finding in the quantitative analysis that womenrated their peer relations somewhat lower than men; those that rated their peer groups moresupportive were more likely to report identification with engineering and plans to persist.Peer relationships was the largest sub-category within the community

And yet, aprimary reason we have taken this conversation up in the first place is that the proverbial cat isalready out of the bag; implicit market assumptions, whether helpful or unhelpful, accurate orinaccurate, are already informing everyday decision-making and long-term planning in highereducation and engineering education worldwide. On a basic level, some type of market treatment may be correct in that a financialtransaction (or series of transactions) occurs between the student and the university at the end ofwhich the student usually receives a diploma indicating their qualifications. On the other hand,one might easily argue that this simplified, unidimensional analysis falters in at least two ways.First

Although rigor is bound up in all aspects of a study—fromits level of cultural responsiveness to communication with internal and external stakeholdersthroughout the research process—our definition of rigor is narrower than our definition ofquality.

One idea that gained much support during the discussion was creating events that bring veterans and non- veterans together. Rather than planning a mixer, it was emphasized that these events be focused on community service because this provides an opportunity for these two populations to work together to achieve something purposeful. • Have an ASEE presence within service member transition programs (e.g., SEP/TAP).
