school. Her research is focused on solving problems relating to educating and developing engi- neers, teachers, and the community at all levels (P12, undergraduate, graduate, post-graduate). A few of these key areas include engineering identity and mindsets, global competencies, failure culture, first year experiences in engineering, capstone design thinking, integrating service and authentic learning into the engineering classroom, implementing new instructional methodologies, and design optimization using traditional and non-traditional manufacturing. She seeks to identify best practices and develop assess- ments methods that assist in optimizing computing and engineering learning. Dr. Gurganus was one the inaugural

provide hands-on, real-world learning; a combination of technicaland professional skills; and opportunities for new experiences and coursework. Improvementscan be made in community building, access to possible career information, better marketing toemployers, and more mentoring opportunities.IntroductionThe demand for engineers and other STEM related occupations is increasing [1], yet therecruitment and retention of students to their engineering programs continue to be a source ofpressure for universities [2, 3]. Currently there is limited research concerning how and whystudents choose certain engineering degrees, which becomes an issue as universities compete todraw in more students through innovative engineering programs. More recently, there

research and educational activities – reflecting the values, beliefs, and ways ofthinking that lead toward sustainable development in the context of engineering and engineeringeducation. The Minor will be highly informed by best practices for user-centered design,introducing opportunities for self-reflection, trial and error, and action-taking through a student-centered project-based learning approach that recognizes that students are in transition toadulthood. A robust stakeholder engagement process will be undertaken to align activities withgoals, involving three undergraduate mentors per year as co-designers and co-facilitators.Although the Minor will be open to all students with basic qualifications, unlike traditional minorsthat require
