Seminar Series | It’s Ok to Ask for Help: Supporting Academic Help-Seeking Behaviors of Engineering Students
All dates for this event occur in the past.
Bolz Hall Room 128 or Zoom
United States
Abstract
The way engineering students make sense of and address academic challenges influences their success as a student. With many of the students being labeled as “high-ability,” it is assumed that engineering students know how to study or are smart enough to figure out the information. Poor time management, inadequate study skills, and struggles between external and internal motivation contribute to students’ poor performances (Balduf, 2009). In this seminar, I will present the reasons that many of our students struggle in their transition to college and recommendations on ways that we can better support our engineering students. It is my hope that this presentation will address and support engineering students' needs and help normalize academic help-seeking behaviors.
