ENGAGEMENT PORTFOLIO
Students in Fundamentals of Engineering (FEP) courses (ENGR 100, 101, 102, 151, 199. and MAE 102) are required to attend engineering-related events outside of they regularly scheduled class time and reflect upon these activities to complete an over-arching goal, These Engagement events are designed to help students gain a better understanding of their collegiate, personal, and professional development while attending West Virginia University. At the conclusion of the semester verification of the activities combined with a reflection paper will create the Engagement Portfolio. The Engagement Portfolio accounts for 5% of the overall course grade in ENGR 101.
At the beginning of the semester, students should self-select a Personal goal (see options below). Throughout the semester, students should attend engagement events or research related topics that directly impact their individual goal. Upon completion of the events/research, students should write a brief (200 word) summary of the event to include with the final reflection essay including citations for any sources used. These events could be at WVU or in your community. Examples of acceptable sources to research include scholarly articles and TED Talks. Email your instructor if you have questions about an acceptable source or event.
At least one event MUST be the Major Exploration:
- Research at least 3 different engineering disciplinesoffered at WVU. What kind of careers could you have with this degree? What kind of classes do you have to take to obtain this degree (please do not list all the required courses for the degree)? Include at least 1 source per discipline.
ENGR 101 Goal options Include:
- Selecting a Major
- Test-Taking & Study Skills
- Building & Maintaining Healthy Relationships
- Time management and Organization
- Managing Stress
