An in-depth literature reviewidentifies existing programs and best practices of this model in use at other institutions. A two-part environmental scan first looks internally at the research, staff needs and practices at Mines.Then, it looks outward at other institutions’ offerings to better understand the types of initiativesthat could be included in the program. This research will ultimately be applied to design, pilot,and assess a concierge program for the Mines library.Literature ReviewA variety of terminology has been used

The main objective of design for additive manufacturing (DfAM)is to maximize product performance that are subject to the capabilities of AM technologiesthrough the synthesis of shapes, sizes, hierarchal structures, and material compositions [4].DfAM consolidates existing and new design principles to develop a framework that optimallyutilizes the design freedom of AM. The widespread use of AM technologies has resulted in alack of DfAM principles, process guidelines, and standardization of the best practices [6].DfAM can be classified in three different

Additionally, ERCs must include an independent evaluation of theireducation and outreach programming to assess their performance and impacts. To date, eachERC’s evaluation team designs its instruments/tools and protocols for evaluation, resulting inidiosyncratic and redundant efforts. Nonetheless, there is much overlap among the evaluationtopics, concepts, and practices, suggesting that the ERC evaluation and assessment communitymight benefit from having a common set of instruments and

This project seeks to design and test innovative graduate education models.The goal of the first phase is for students to embark on a cyber-physical systems (CPS) orproduct lifecycle management (PLM) topic and in partnership with experts and faculty mentorsdevelop two online educational modules that describe an application-oriented view of CPS andPLM. In the second phase of this research, these modules will be integrated in existingundergraduate or first-year graduate courses at four different institutions (2 SUs

introducing industry mentors to students.Through this proposed intervention, we explore the broad research question: How effective is theproposed approach in impacting professional identity formation and promoting industry-relatedcompetencies? Doing so involves addressing related questions such as: (1) what is theunderstanding of these applications and their impact on students in terms of interest, knowledgeof applications, and professional identity formation? (2) What is the relationship betweenstudents’ identity and course performance and assessments? (3) Is there a significant impact ofthe proposed approach on underrepresented groups especially women?We worked with four industry mentors from various areas of chemical engineering to design up-to

Observations, discussions, and surveys will becarried out during educators’ training and their implementation of the new method of teachingand learning to study the transformation. Benchmarking visits will be carried out to discoverthe best practices. The qualitative data will be analyzed using thematic analysis to identify thegaps and the measures.

The NSF research sought to understand ifearly leadership training resulted in higher graduation and retentions rates and faster time tograduation for academically talented, financially disadvantaged STEM majors. The preliminaryresults indicate a highly positive association.The goal of the LDP has remained the same since inception, help STEM students become futureleaders in industry by providing leadership training and mentoring with a cohort experience ofco-curricular education and community service opportunities. Teaching and modeling authenticproblem-solving to future leaders is an essential strategy and key component of the

Therefore, the addition of new materials does not create a significant cognitive overload or impediments to learning. • Laboratories offer an excellent place to compare the traditional and modern instrumentation, look at trade-offs and discuss better ways to design sampling campaigns and structural health monitoring programs. Therefore, they provide an ideal platform to discuss the role of modern day sensing and informatics and issues related to the inter-linkages between frequency, accuracy and precision of measurements.Given the growing need for cross-disciplinary engineering training, and ensuring engineering studentshave requisite skillsets necessary for the practice of

It was tangible and not theoretical. • Appreciated that learning felt realistic, as though it would be very applicable in the field. I have learned a fundamental basis for topics which directly pertain to my career.Most of the students feel that they are active learners and that they learn best by hands onactivities. Most students thought the real-world application allowed them to learn effectively andmotivated them. This matches well since some of the senior design projects were from real worldclients and industry partners
