The project, called Project Achieve, aims to foster, engage, and retain underserved andunderrepresented undergraduate men and women, with particular emphasis on Hispanic students in engineering andcomputer science majors. As a part of the project, a multi-disciplinary effort among faculty in mechanical, electrical,computer engineering, and computer science designed an undergraduate course, Introduction to Scientific Research,based on the evidence-based Affinity Research Group model, one of the signature models in the Computing Allianceof Hispanic-Serving Institutions (CAHSI) Network.

water/wastewater utilitiesAbstractWaterworks is a USEPA funded project that focuses on exposure of careers in water andwastewater utilities to K-12 students and educators. The nation will face a shortage of workers inthese utilities due to retirement. As such, there is a dire need to inspire the next generation tocontribute to this utility workforce. We are developing four innovative tools as part of ourWaterWorks project. These are WaterMobile, WaterPal, WaterTalk, and WaterCave. All fourtools are instrumental in exposing the multi-faceted careers in these utilities using moderninstruments such as Virtual Reality (VR). We have five partners, three utilities, the City ofCamden schools and a non profit the South Jersey Land and Water Trust. We

Teamwork has increasingly gained the interest of educators as an effective pedagogical toolfor the preparation of students for the “real-world” (Gantasala, 2016). Collaborative assignmentsand projects, which invariably involve teamwork are considered high impact practices (HIPs) inhigher education (Adrade et al, 2020). High impact practices engage students in purposeful,interactive learning aimed at developing skills such as communication, problem solving,teamwork, critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, and information literacy (Kuh, 2008). Pastresearch shows that students who participate in HIP, including those who are historicallyunderserved by higher education, improve their performance, and have higher persistence andgraduation rates

Engineering Education, 2023 GIFT: Maximizing first-year students’ ‘least effort’ information gathering habits using Information Foraging TheoryIt has widely been reported that engineers use a ‘least effort’ approach to meeting theirinformation needs.[1,2] While some have translated this as some kind of intellectual laziness,one should rather think of it as an approach embedded in efficiency. Engineers want to find justenough information to be able to make a reliable decision and then get on with their project. Thisis in contrast to the typical research-based approach to information gathering in academia, wherecomprehensiveness is more valued. By tapping into the values underlying the least effortapproach, however, one can make the case

The motivation for developing a freshman course came from asense of declining student interest in the electronics field; the initial objectives we had for thecourse were to a) engage with freshmen entering our program who faculty would otherwise notcome into contact with until the sophomore/junior years, b) generate interest in and motivationfor the electronics field through lab exercises and projects, as well as to acquaint students withthe topics noted above.Although we did not evaluate our objectives for increasing interest in the field, there seemed tobe another problematic aspect of students entering the program.

The author’s plan for this research is to utilize a mixed methods surveyapproach. Survey research has a long history in the realm of human subject research and has arelatively mature methodology associated with it (see, e.g., Sapsford, 2007). Mixed methods research involves both qualitative and quantitative data collection andanalysis (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2018). The use of quantitative data analysis in engineeringwork is long and uncontroversial given engineering’s historical commitment to philosophicalprinciples of post-positivism. More noteworthy is the use of

At present, Penn State’s revenues in this area lag our competitors markedly. We will need innovative cross-channel marketing campaigns that is a new paradigm for our academic communications staff. These communication skills include websites, landing pages, email, digital marketing, event marketing, print media, videos, communications, mass SMS, and social media expertise. 4.

Surveying engineering has a significant role in construction and highway projects,mapping and boundary determination, building information management, land informationmanagement, monitoring engineering structures, and more. Surveying makes use of manyrevolutionary technologies including Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), laserscanning, photogrammetry, and mapping using small unmanned aerial systems (sUASs).However, the surveying profession suffers from low public profile, making it difficult to attractstudents in surveying / geomatics programs, with many surveying programs experiencing lowenrollment. This issue has led to significant problems in the profession such as increasing theaverage age of surveyors, with unofficial
