Board 116: Synergies between Experience and Study in Graduate Engineering Education
2018 ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition
(2018)
Abstract
Students in engineering master’s degree programs come from a wide range of backgrounds and have diverse levels of experience within the field of engineering. Some, who we term “returners”, have extensive work experience between their bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Others, “direct pathway” students, have less professional work experience and in some cases, none at all. Both returners and direct pathway students are in class together, and the connection between work experience, course content, and student learning has not been extensively studied.
