learning modules helped them applyresearch concepts and methods. The purpose of this study was to develop and investigate theeffectiveness of an approach that addresses the challenges of the rapidly evolving workplace bycreating a collaborative multidisciplinary research environment for graduate students using © American Society for Engineering Education, 2023inquiry-based and active learning methods and the concept of cognitive presence. We developedand evaluated three generic learning modules and their adaptation and implementation in fivedomain specific courses, that introduced a graduate student to research activities gradually,consistently, and systematically, with the goal of developing collaboration, innovation

– The IOT PlatformThe Environmental Sensing Data Network (ESDN) [8] is an infrastructure and a service developed andmanaged by the Center for IOT Engineering and Innovation (CIEI) [9] within the department ofTechnology Systems in CET. The main mission of ESDN is to enable the concept of Campus as a Lab[10], a platform facilitating easy deployment and management of networked sensors, to facilitate datacollection and data analytics in support of research and education. ESDN was designed to accommodatefour specific use cases: 1. Users, scientists, and educators can deploy sensors that do not have wireless communications options. CIEI developed a small form factor communications shim which intermediates and processes communication

universitywithin the first year. Typical reasons cited for leaving the university include lack of awareness ofacademic support resources, sense of belonging, the uncertainty of best practices to succeed incollege, etc. This one-week residential RAMP program was created to fill this void by engaging inextensive team-building activities, exposure to academic resources on campus, networkingactivities with college peer mentors to learn best practices, and overall obtaining a jump-start oncollege. The ideas was to instill a sense of belonging among students, aid in improving the first-to second-year retention, and increase the number of graduating students in engineering disciplinesoverall. More analyses are being conducted to determine if this aspect of the

]. 6To break up a semester or modulate its pace, faculty can discuss their research or consultingwork or prior employment [24] or they can invite full-time practicing engineers to speak to theclass [13]. Aspiring engineers are particularly interested in hearing from recent graduates (i.e.young professionals); their talks help students to more easily envision “life after school” [17].Tools that instructors might use to assess the quality of their freshman-intro course are [16]  pre-course surveys (pre-existing knowledge & pre-conceptions),  real-time computerized student assessment (throughout the semester),  common midterms across sections (taught by different faculty),  common instructor evaluations (for every module

campus, transitto the college environment, advise academic work, develop career and leadership skills, etc.Staff and faculty in the college have witnessed the rising skepticism of the public about the valueof college education during the past years [1]. We recognized that interested individuals mayhave many more resources where they can receive knowledge that traditionally has beenobtained from colleges. To improve college experience of our students, CET takes acollaborative approach among faculty and staff. For example, in spring 2021, a faculty advisoryboard for the SSC were appointed to conduct literature review and identify best practices in fourservice areas: (a) Marketing and Recruiting, (b) First year-programs [2, 3], (c
