For example, the students may be asked to provide an example of where they haveneeded to summarize information for decision making. Later, their answers to the summarizationquestion are used to investigate mathematical means of compression often applied to sound,video, or general file systems.Notable difficulties in personalizing course content then include how to extract relevant andinteresting applications from 30 to 60 students, and how to manage the time required to mapthese applications into the course.

Engineering identity, especially for students, reflects their acceptance of and recognitionas part of the engineering field, influencing their decision to enter and persist in the field [6].When students possess a strong engineering identity, they tend to perceive themselves as futureengineers, fostering their commitment to their pursuit of an engineering career [7].

It is hypothesized that there is disconnect betweenthe principles outlined in Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and the actual classroomenvironment, thus creating a barrier to intrinsic motivation needed for student learning. Theproposed work is an empirical investigation to explore this disconnect in the context ofundergraduate engineering education. The primary tasks will be to (i) assess the Facultyknowledge of SDT; (ii) develop a measurement framework to assess the classroom environmentas it relates to SDT; and (iii) determine the association among Faculty knowledge of SDT

Women studentswho applied to graduate school were more likely to be motivated by intrinsic factors (e.g., loveof learning, interest in their field) than male students, who were more motivated by furtheringtheir careers. The authors noted that personal outreach and encouragement to apply to graduateschool were more important influences on women’s decision making than men.Once they transition into graduate education, women contend with experiences of sexism, genderstereotyping, delegitimization, and isolation [9]. To mitigate these challenges, women often haveto depend on their own resilience and capacity to cope with these

There is robust evidence that Associate’s degrees andvocational certificates yield extra earnings compared with high school graduation [24]. Still,there is need to study how students form perceptions of the less tangible benefits and costs ofhigher education, like ability to become an active member of the community, or establish alifelong career pathway. Though Human capital theory is this study’s core theory of action, theresearchers recognize that students’ interest in entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship in theirrural communities leads us to consider the intertwining of human and social capital, as inBourdieu’s concept of habitus.
