minorities in CS and related disciplines.DesignThe design of ERSP is based on four pillars:1. A course-supported apprentice model2. A dual-mentoring framework3. A team-based environment4. An inclusive selection processERSP students work in teams under the guidance of a research faculty member, as part of anactive research project. This apprenticeship is supported by a required course that introducesstudents to research in a structured class setting: topics, findings, how to read and evaluate aresearch paper, and a variety of research exercises. The students are mentored by both ERSPmentors and a member of the research project (faculty, or graduate student). The program isteam-based, building a strong sense of student community and support

This paper presents a conceptualmodel for understanding, partnering, and building relationships between engineering teamsand NGOs, organizations that rarely figure in the employment landscape of engineering. Itproposes that sustainable community development (SCD) projects require a level ofembeddedness in communities, engagement, continuity and logistical maturity that mostengineering schools with community-engagement programs are ill equipped to provide bythemselves but that in partnership

The project is designed to motivatestudents to creatively and collaboratively apply mathematical modeling to design roller coasters.Students are asked to engage as engineers and respond to a hypothetical theme park that hassolicited design proposals for a new roller coaster. Students are required to use variousmathematical functions such as polynomials and exponentials to create a piecewise function thatmodels the roller coaster track geometry. The entire project is composed of five modules, eachlasting three weeks. Each module is associated with a specific calculus topic and is integratedinto the design process in the

Teamwork can bedaunting for a student with ASD in terms of the social aspects and the organization of a largeassignment with multiple due dates. However, many ASD students are visual learners and dowell with “hands-on” projects, and may just need assistance keeping track of assignments.Faculty members should have direct communication with the students and provideaccommodations with guided group work, a consistent format for assignments, breakingprojects in to smaller assignments, and making slides/lectures available before class.Currently, a freshman engineering class has implemented these adjustments andaccommodations.

Our HyFlex SQA approach consists of lectures (in class, with video recordings), face-to-face activities, as well as group assignments, group projects, and exams all facilitated through anonline campus management system. During the lecture period, the instructor delivers content inthe form of lecture slides and writing on a whiteboard. This poses significant challenges for theinstructor, as the learning outcomes have to be delivered in different modalities, but with the samequality. This is particularly difficult in SQA courses, as these require instruction in formal methodsas well as systematic justification of engineering
