Robin9 argues that computers promote creativestorytelling. This would enable students to gain 21st century literacy skills, thus empowering theclassroom to meet its challenges.The paper presents the students’ assessment results of the idea of storytelling as a catalyst to theirengagement in the class and as a means to enhance their understanding of the subject. It alsoaddresses the learning outcomes attained. The study was conducted over two years in IE 202(Introduction to Engineering Design II); a compulsory course offered to all sophomore studentsin the College of Engineering at the

for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. ThePROMISE AGEP: Maryland Transformation (AGEP-T) project is dedicated to increasing thenumber and diversity of PhD graduates in the STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering andMathematics), with a focus on developing a new generation of professors. Our goal for 2014 is toprovide graduate students with more experiences that go beyond a traditional undergraduate student-based study abroad program. We seek to develop programs that open doors outside of the U.S. toprovide graduate students w with groups of experiences that will lead to international jobopportunities and long-term research collaborations.IntroductionAs the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC: An Honors University in
