Perceived Self-Efficacy of Master’s in Engineering Students Regarding Software Proficiency and Engineering Acumen Dr. Elizabeth Gross, Kettering University Elizabeth Gross is a fellow in Engineering Education at Kettering University in Flint, MI. She is also adjunct professor in learning design and technology at Wayne State University in Detroit, MI and in the Library Science department at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, TX. Dr. Diane L Peters, Kettering University Dr. Peters is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Kettering University. She is the P.I. of a grant from the NSF to study returning graduate students in engineering master’s programs. Dr. Shanna R. Daly, University of Michigan Shanna Daly is an Assistant Professor in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan. She has a B.E. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Dayton (2003) and a Ph.D. in Engineering Education from Purdue University (2008). Her research focuses on strategies for design innovations through divergent and convergent thinking as well as through deep needs and community assessments using design ethnography, and translating those strategies to design tools and education. She teaches design and entrepreneurship courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels, focusing on front-end design processes.
