Direct linkKaya, Sibel; Yuksel, Dogan; Curle, Samantha – Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Background: Mindsets are based on two basic assumptions: some people think that their intellectual abilities can be developed through hard work and instruction (i.e., a growth mindset), whereas others believe that nothing can change their level of intellectual ability (i.e., a fixed mindset). The association between mindsets and academic…

Hunsu, Nathaniel J.; Olaogun, Olarenwaju P.; Oje, Adurangba V.; Carnell, Peter H.; Morkos, Beshoy – Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Background: Student persistence in undergraduate engineering majors often depends on how they perform in foundational engineering courses. Although mastery of prerequisite knowledge affects how students perform in these courses, research suggests that achievement goal orientations and task-value and self-efficacy beliefs play prominent roles in…

Heddy, Benjamin C.; Danielson, Robert W.; Ross, Kelly; Goldman, Jacqueline A. – Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Background: Promoting engagement and motivation in early engineering experiences is important for fostering interest and retention in engineering. One method that has been effective for doing so is facilitating transformative experiences (TEs), which occurs when students apply academic content to everyday experience. Our goal was to explore the…

Jewett, Elizabeth C.; Chen, Rong – Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
Background: To meet the growing demand for the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce and remain competitive in the fields of science and technology over the next decade, the United States is expected to need more than 1 million additional STEM professionals. This would require an annual increase of 34% in undergraduate…

Smith, Natasha L.; Grohs, Jacob R.; Van Aken, Eileen M. – Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
Background: Increasing the persistence of engineering transfer students can help meet the US national priority of increasing the number of engineering graduates. Many transfer students experience a decrease in their grade point average (GPA) at their receiving institution, known as transfer shock, which can lead to them leaving the institution.…

Cardador, M. Teresa; Hill, Patrick L.; Lopez-Alvarez, Grisel – Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
Background: Given the gendering of engineering roles and competencies, the evidence that the skills required for engineering management are widely referred to as social, and the fact that men engineers are stereotyped as more technical, and women as more social, it might be theorized that (a) those that occupy managerial (vs. technical) roles in…
