organizationattracts. Signaling theory emphasizes the importance of both the medium and content oforganizational-based information in influencing both applicant attraction and an applicant’sdecision to pursue employment. Studies by Allen and colleagues [7] and Rynes and colleagues[8] support the notion that the organizational culture portrayed on a website significantly shapesapplicant attitudes and decisions. In this study, we use signaling theory to provide insight intohow environmental organizations communicate to engineering faculty, staff, and students theirexplicit commitments to diversity and justice, as well as how they convey their organizationalculture through images, as well as the racial makeup of their staff and boards of directors.Service

The results for how students “gather information”indicates a near equal balance for Intuition and Sensing, and similarly the results for howstudents “make decisions” indicates a near equal balance for Thinking and Feeling. As reportedin Table 2, the most significant difference for Jung Personality Type was observed in a strongpreference for Judging over Perceiving (i.e., a total of 50 individuals versus 24). A similar trendhas been regularly reported in courses in this Department (i.e., [8, 9, 10]). Therefore, based uponthe trends in Jung Personality Type, the use of clear “lists of instructions” was an

For example, one person shared a storyof how an engineering faculty member negatively critiqued a graduate student’s dissertation oneducation-related work, which prompted a discussion on the importance of building andmaintaining “community momentum” within engineering education research.

Mechanical engineering electives are free electives that can be taken in business, public policy, education, and sciences, which allows additional room for innovation in the electives portion of the program. • Personalize the learning experience for students to meet their goals and fill the skills gap
