Paper ID #33405The Path from Community College to Engineering Bachelor’s Degree ThroughPartnerships and NSF S-STEM Funded ScholarshipsDr. A. Fort Gwinn, Lipscomb University Dr Fort Gwinn is associate dean of the Raymond B Jones College of Engineering at Lipscomb University and also teaches Mechanical Engineering courses in machine design, vibrations, and finite element anal- ysis. Prior to coming to Lipscomb University in 1999, he spent 22 years in the automotive and aerospace testing industry where he gained valuable insights in engineering design and analysis.Dr. Todd Gary Todd Gary is the external evaluation for Lipscomb
in 2020-21, as shown by the Student Demographics reported in Table 1.Students in this program believe that remote undergraduate research programs “give opportunities tostudents all over the country to participate in research projects …. without having to live in the samelocation”; “[collaborating] with people from different backgrounds …. enhance[s] the research process”;and “[Diversity] is important to gain an extrinsic understanding of how our work can impact others, soby promoting diverse collaboration, it also improves the work itself” (Student Testimonials).The active outreach to high school students allows undergraduate community college researchers to takeon high school mentees. This serves to lessen the gap between undergraduate

The Engineering Scholars Program (ESP), funded by an NSF Scholarships inScience, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (S-STEM) grant, is a CoP designed toenhance the social learning experience of two-year college students preparing to transfer to a four-year university. A key feature of

Tofurther assess the viability of the Program, Wright College will lead the expansion of the HPATmodel at its sister colleges and will implement the model at another 4-year transfer institution.Similarly, IIT will explore implementing the model at another 2-year partner institution(s) and theexpansion to disciplines other than engineering. 11ACKNOWLEDGMENTJ.

assistance until this goal was met. Prior to proposal development, each KickStarterteam performed a STEM-self assessment and developed a STEM plan, out of which researchproposal concepts were identified and matched to the appropriate NSF program, e.g. S-STEM,ATE, and later HSI. In 2016, HSIs in KickStarter cohorts began to acquire grant awards, initiallyin S-STEM and ATE. When the HSI program solicitation was announced, HSIs in KickStarterbegan switching from pursuing the Small Grants for Institutions New to the ATE Program trackto the equivalent track in the HSI program, quite successfully. A total of eleven HSI awardswere earned by 2-year HSIs participating in KickStarter for an 85% award rate. In 2019 theKickStarter program ended and no new
developed by Evelyn Berezin in the late 1960’s – awoman! She began her education as a major in economics although her favorite subject wasphysics. Since physics was not considered a proper topic for women, she did not show her trueability for some time. At the end of the Second World War, there were many new opportunitiesfor women. She was able to fulfill her true desire to study physics and received her BS inphysics. Her primary interests were in the field of computer use in industry. Her earlycontributions include banking systems and airline reservation systems. She founded a company,Redactron, and developed a system referred to as the “Data Secretary”, the first computerizedword processor to aid the work of typists worldwide. At the time of her

For those readers who are unfamiliar with this term the followingdefinition is fairly representative: operational technology or OT is a category of computing andcommunication systems to manage, monitor and control industrial operations with a focus on thephysical devices and processes that they use [9]. OT is another catch-all term for indicating theuse case(s) that the IoT application is addressing or acquiring data about.The Cisco networking curriculum does address Wi-Fi but it is dated and not very technical (recallthe skill set of the cable technician installing a cable modem mentioned previously

The focus on competencies over knowledge is a relatively new devel-opment in ACM curriculum guidelines. A competency integrates knowledge, skills, and disposi-tions in context, where dispositions are ”attitudinal, behavioral, and socio-emotional qualities ofhow disposed people are to apply knowledge and skills to solve problems” [18].The Cyber2yr2020 framework [10] maintains CSEC2017’s division of
