From the Editor Holly Matusovich, Editor, Advances in Engineering Education

I am pleased to present the July issue of Advances in Engineering Education (AEE). In this issue we have four papers. First, in an opinion piece, Streveler introduces a social-embedded view of conceptual change that considers the impact of the learner’s group affiliation. Second, Bilgin and colleagues describe a longitudinal industry mentorship program structure and the preliminary results of implementation. Third, Ellis and Graveson introduce a scaffolded design-analyze-build-test spine within an existing second-year Strength of Materials course. Finally, Naveh and colleagues evaluate students’ perceptions of PBL in a civil engineering course that was designed based on best practices from the literature with the intent to minimize inhibitors of PBL success indicated in past research…
