%, the four-year graduation rate was 46%, and the six-year graduation rate was 59%. These quantitative data indicatethat both FTIC and transfer students at CEC share similar attributes; they are part-time students, need morefinancial support, are older than traditional students, and many do not earn their degrees within four or evensix years.All of the CEC graduation rates are considerably lower than reflected in some national data sets (see Table1). For instance, the national four-year graduation rate for engineering undergraduates is 32% (AmericanSociety for Engineering Education or ASEE, 2019), compared to just 14% at Florida InternationalUniversity. The six-year graduation rate for CEC and all engineering undergraduates in the US is

Each year, STEM Scholar Awards are made to several faculty whohave successfully applied EBT to their courses.We described many of these thrusts at the 2019 ASEE conference. In this paper, we will focusmore on describing the thrusts that have been implemented, or have evolved, since then. Also, asthis grant is in its no-cost extension year, we will present results and lessons learned.Specifically, we will address the number of faculty, graduate assistants and undergraduatestudents directly impacted by each thrust and will quantify, to the extent possible, the effect ofthat impact.

effective college teacher. American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Institutional Data as Motivation for Course-Level Change in EngineeringIntroduction and BackgroundFor decades, studies have called for attention to recruiting and retaining a diverse studentpopulation in STEM fields and increasing the numbers of STEM graduates [1, 2]. Multiplestudies have documented an “achievement gap” in terms of success for under-representedminorities (URM) [3] and first-generation college students [4], and also provide a multitude ofsuggestions for better supporting these students at the institutional and classroom levels [3, 5].In 2019, ASEE

The focus extended beyond genderto include race, sexual orientation, physical ability, and other categories of social identity.Gender non-binary students had the opportunity to choose between either of the two courses. InAutumn 2019, the courses’ enrolled students were limited to new first year engineering studentswho self-selected to take part in a pilot “Inclusive Leadership Cohort”. Students in this cohorttook the Inclusive Leadership Course concurrently with the first two required engineeringcourses in their first two semesters at The Ohio State University. Due to COVID, in Autumn2020, the courses went back to being open to all undergraduate engineering

The project wasscaffolded with instruction and intermediate low stakes assignments so that teams graduallyaddress the components, rather than hurriedly complete it at the end of the semester. Theseelements are described later in this section.This biomimicry module with EML was implemented for two cohorts of students in twosequential years, which we term cohort 2018 (n=33) and cohort 2019 (n=23) here. As notedpreviously, the biomimicry project was included in a previous iteration of the course but did notinclude instruction on EM and was a shorter duration.Project RequirementsThe final deliverable is a team presentation describing a bioengineering device or design conceptthat draws inspiration from nature.

ASEE conference proceeding with the MULTI division was achieved through theASEE Peer database with the search for term “multidisciplinary” based on two inclusion criteria:1) the studywas published in MULTI division; 2) the study was published during 2006-2020. The search started from 2006because that was when the ASEE’s first ABET accreditation visits for multidisciplinary engineering programswere carried out and the ASEE MULTI division was formally recognized. In total, 488 records were foundusing these two criteria, among which 14 papers were also included in the “System Engineering” division (10in 2011 and 4 in 2016), 17 papers were also included in the “Liberal Education/Engineering & Society” division(12 in 2013 and 5 in 2019), and 4

paperaccepted by the Minorities in Engineering Division of the 2021 ASEE annual conference (areference with the title and author details will be provided). For this specific project, theretention rate of the participants was 100%, higher than that of all freshman and sophomorestudents in CBAS, which is 69.1% from Fall 2019 to Fall 2020. As the delivery method of mostcourses offered by MTSU switched to Remote, Online, or Web-assisted in Fall 2020, manystudents had financial difficulties, mental health related issues, and difficulty adjusting to thenew learning methods. As a result, there was a significant negative impact to the students’ GPAin Fall 2020, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, we did not see an improvementover the participants’ GPA
c Society for Engineering Education, 2021Creating a Diverse Next Generation of Technically- and Community-Minded STEM Professionals Purdue UniversityAbstractIn 2019, the National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center, CISTAR, partnered withthe National Society of Black Engineer’s Summer Engineering Experience for Kids, NSBESEEK, to develop a summer program like no other! Through an NSF Research Experience andMentoring (REM) summer program, CISTAR was able to give students and teachers anopportunity to do 6-weeks of cutting-edge research at CISTAR and then “give back” bymentoring kids for 4-weeks at NSBE SEEK—all in one summer. In this paper, we elaborate onthe rationale for the program, namely
test and interpreting the results.Importantly, the course is delivered virtually, which makes the implementation very differentfrom that in an in-person classroom setting. This paper provides a detailed discussion of the virtual laboratory modules added to‘Nondestructive Evaluation of Flaws’. In addition, we report how the changes impacted thestudent learning in Fall 2020 compared to Fall 2019, when the delivery was strictly lecture-based. Finally, we discuss ‘lessons learned’ and modifications planned for the next offerings ofthis class. Our overall assessment results indicate a positive impact of the virtual laboratories on

The co-curricular efforts included developing an entrepreneurially oriented Living Learning Community(LLC) for first-year students, and conducting entrepreneurially focused competitions. A coreteam consisting of the dean and four faculty led these efforts, and other faculty wereprogressively engaged to participate in these efforts. Internal efforts to develop the EM of faculty was not the primary focus from 2011 to 2019,except for training faculty on how to integrate the e-learning modules into courses.
