| Title: | Through the Looking Glass Revisited |
| Room: | TBD |
| Time: | 9:00 am – 12:00 pm |
| Summary: | Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass tells of Alice’s experiences in Looking-Glass Land where she finds herself in a whimsical game of chess. Students may feel that they have also passed through the looking glass and may not understand the expectations needed to succeed on co op. While many co-op professionals have been exposed to Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, few have explored the powerful connection to Emotional Intelligence (EQ). EQ identifies competencies that define emotional intelligence including self awareness, self regulation, flexibility, motivation, empathy, and resilience. This interactive workshop will focus on understanding the connection between MBTI and EQ and how to better help students succeed on co op. |

| Title: | Engaging Students and Employers: How to facilitate communication between TXTers and Employers |
| Room: | TBD |
| Time: | 11:00 am- 12:30 pm |
| Summary: | The experiential education professionals, faculty and student advisors are noticing a trend in students to consume information in smaller chunks: rather than long e-mails with long explanations, they prefer quick, to the point directions. However, consuming information in shorter formats is often regarded as lack of communication skills by generations that did not grow up with twitter, facebook, Linked In, and txt messages. How can universities facilitate effective communication between students and employers? What are good strategies to communicate effectively with students, and can we find common ground in communication strategies, possibly through effective use of Texting, Linked In or other tools? |

| Summary: | Distance-learning modules, with content coverage of professional skills and ABET-required program outcomes, were developed and delivered during co-op semesters. The modules covered engineering ethics and professionalism, engineering economy, and project management. Content of the modules was selected to enhance the experience of the student in the workplace, providing a unique opportunity for the students to apply what they were learning. The scaffolded curriculum was designed to accommodate the logistics of three, mandatory co-op semesters and the maturity level of the students. This session will discuss results from the pilot program run during 2011. |

| Title: | The Effect of Work Experience on Self-Efficacy in Undergraduate Engineering Programs |
| Room: | |
| Time: | 8:00 am – 9:15 am |
| Summary: | The purpose of this study has been to identify factors that contribute to the development of three self-efficacy dimensions thought to be most relevant to the retention of students in undergraduate engineering: work, academic, and career. Of particular interest is whether the participation of students in formal undergraduate engineering programs that provide work experiences while enrolled (e.g., cooperative education and internships) is related to enhanced self-efficacy. Self-efficacy theory provides an important framework for differentiating the career outcomes of students in engineering. In particular, positive self-efficacy beliefs appear to significantly affect persistence in undergraduate engineering programs. This presentation reports on results to date. |

| Title: | Legal and Contractual Issues in International Continuing Engineering Education |
| Room: | TBD |
| Time: | 9:30 am-11:00 am |
| Summary: | As the U.S. universities engage more in delivering continuing engineering education - credit and non-credit -- to other countries, the differences in legal systems and contractual processes in various countries can often become critical factors in developing successful partnerships. Four universities will share their experiences in handling such contractual issues and how they have negotiated through the process. The session will also highlight the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) compliance procedures applicable to international continuing engineering education in exporting technical data embedded in the curriculum. Cross-cultural understanding as part of the contract negotiating process will also be discussed. |

| Title: | Increasing K-12 Awareness in STEM for Middle and High School Underrepresented/Underserved Students through Local Partnerships |
| Room: | TBD |
| Time: | 9:30 am-11:00 am |
| Summary: | To meet the growing demand for future STEM professionals, traditional educational institutions at the K-16 level and nontraditional education partners such as nonprofit organizations and STEM focused agencies must take active measures to collaborate to produce programming and teacher training curriculum and activities that will increase interest in STEM. Furthermore, these organizations have a responsibility to inculcate the belief among Latina/o students that they will be our future chemists, mathematicians, technologists, and astronauts. Thus, through the collaboration between University X and STEM for students, a professional development model to use with teachers has been developed. |

| Title: | CEED Student of the Year: Selecting a Winner |
| Room: | TBD |
| Time: | 9:30 am-11:00 am |
| Summary: | Beginning in 2002, the co-op program at Northwestern University’s school of engineering decided to enhance the process of selecting a recipient of the school’s Co-op Student of the Year. Previously, the student who was honored with this award was chosen by the staff of the program, based on criteria that were somewhat subjective and inconsistent from year to year. By aligning its internal processes with those of the Cooperative Education Division of ASEE, Northwestern’s co-op program has produced two CEED Student of the Year recipients since 2003. This session will explore the success of this approach. |
