摘要

All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. William Shakespeare-All the World's a Stage from As You Like It. William Shakespeare's As You Like It begins with a soliloquy called "The Seven Ages of Man," that addresses human transitions from infancy to childhood to schoolboy to young lover and beyond. With all due respect to Mr. Shakespeare, we are borrowing the metaphor of a stage and actors to frame an interpretation of the responses of 185 engineering and physics undergraduates to the question: "What advice if any would you offer incoming students to the College of Engineering?" Unlike Shakespeare who characterized his schoolboy as "creeping like a snail, unwillingly to school," we found undergraduate engineering students to be eager for the transition to college, but often under-prepared for and ill-informed of the challenges to be encountered as students progress from the small civic stages of high school to the Great White Way of comprehensive research institutions of higher education. A student's transition from high school to college entails a monumental shift in perspective and degree of responsibility. This shift of roles for the student, metaphorically speaking, can be thought of as transitioning from being an actor ordered about the stage by other directors to being both the lead actor and the director responsible for all aspects of the production. Advice offered in our research interviews by predominantly upper-division, undergraduate engineering majors to incoming freshman is interpreted and described through this metaphoric framework. Our students instruct the new collegians to: set the college stage early by knowing their desired major and being adequately prepared to pursue that major; engage a supporting cast of peers, patrons and programs to become thoroughly involved in their academic careers; accept the role of director by assuming academic responsibility including improving time management and study habits, and anticipate and overcome critic's reviews in the form of external grades and internal doubts. The data suggest differences in advice given by male and female students and students from different classifications (i.e., lower division students versus upper division students). This paper reports trends in the attitudes and advice expressed by these students. A consistent finding is that each student must assume personal responsibility for determining, strategizing and achieving desired goals. Advice to students from students can be added to a repertoire of strategies called upon to negotiate incoming students' transitioning from one stage to the next.
