The net effect of these certifications is not only earned degrees, but employerability to validate prospective employee skill and knowledge outside of an academicenvironment.This paper presents the approach followed in developing in-depth, project-based learningopportunities using cutting-edge technology for the new academic pathway in cloud literacy andthe program outcomes. A discussion on the best practices and lessons learned whileimplementing the first year of the program is included.IntroductionThere is a significant shortage of experienced cloud professionals with 63% of U.S. organizationsexpecting this gap to widen in the next two years [1].

transfer into Lipscomb from CCs and that students whoreceive support will be more likely than their peers to persist and graduate with an engineeringdegree. These survey responses also suggest that the students would benefit from an overview ofCAD, MatLab, and expectations at Lipscomb. This could be achieved in a few sessions withstudents after acceptance into Lipscomb. Having current S-STEM students participate or mentorincoming students may also prove beneficial.Program EvaluationTo create an effective pathway from CC to a baccalaureate degree in engineering, LipscombUniversity’s S-STEM award focused on addressing: 1) how well is the institution’s NSF-fundedS-STEM project proceeding (identifying the current status of objectives and outcomes

Doris founded six student chapters of national organizations including the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE), the Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers (SASE), the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) and nine times Outstanding Chapter Awardee, the American Chemical Society-Wright College Chapter. Doris promotes collaboration between K-12 schools, other community colleges, 4-year institutions, non-profit organizations, and industries. Doris’ current research is to design and implement practices that develop Community of Practice (CoP), Professional Identity, and Self-Efficacy to increase diversity in Engineering

Specifically, the Eco-STEM project focuses on shifting the metaphor in STEM education from a factory model to an ecosystem model. This Ecosystem model aspires towards an organic and healthy environment that nurtures students, faculty, and staff to become individuals fulfilled professionally and personally.

physics. Perhaps thesubject matter is uncomfortable. How does one justify an ethical position without the experienceof application of an ethical decision? Are ethical guidelines too strict in their interpretation, orare there areas of gray, where the interpretation varies from engineer to engineer based on theirhome teachings, beliefs, and experiences? And given these possibilities, what are theramifications the engineer must understand if an ethical challenge is presented?RamificationsIn projects that encounter an ethical dilemma, there is seldom a simple choice, yes or no, good,or bad, right or wrong. Most problems that have such a decision base are more centered onmoral grounds which are based on youthful teachings in the home. Most ethical
