, academically talented students. An innovative scholarship program developedand implemented at Florence-Darlington Technical College, Florence, SC has achieved an 81.8%on-time graduation rate for students in engineering technology programs and other advancedtechnologies by addressing a barrier referred to as the “digital divide” (NSF DUE #0422405,#0806514, #1259402). A technology support element was added to a National ScienceFoundation-funded S-STEM scholarship program in 2004 to address a well-documented needamong prospective scholars. Many scholarship recipients did not have access to a personalcomputer with the software and capability to do assigned work when off campus. To besuccessful, students were making extra trips to the campus to work in an

-Based and Hands-On Intensive CurriculaAbstractIt is desirable to educators, and important for students, that a sound outcomes assessmentmethodology be employed in technology-based and hands-on intensive courses to measure andensure that requisite competencies are obtained by students. It is expected that a workingknowledge of these important competencies can help a two-year college graduate moreeffectively demonstrate mastery of the necessary skills and knowledge, and therefore add morevalue to a potential employer‟s operations. While assessment of student learning can bestraightforward for general education courses, meaningful measurement of student learningwithin the context of technology-based and hands-on curricula

Engineering Education, 2016 Performance of Engineering and Engineering Technology Scholars in the Transfer Pipeline (TiPi) ProgramAbstractThis paper introduces the Transfer Pipeline (TiPi) Scholars’ program funded by the NationalScience Foundation (NSF) that focuses on students who transfer at the 3rd year level from 2-yearschools to our university. The objectives of the TiPi program are: (i) to address a nationalconcern by helping to expand the engineering/technology workforce of the future, (ii) to developlinkages and articulations with 2-year schools and their S-STEM programs, (iii) to serve as amodel for other selective universities to provide transfer students the access to the baccalaureate,(iv) to give scholars hands-on

role of self-efficacy and itscorrelation to academic achievement in science and engineering. Self-efficacy is a person’sbelief that s/he has the ability to achieve their goals, such as a career in science or engineering.Self-efficacy is more than self-confidence, as it is situational dependent. Studies have shown thatincreased self-efficacy reporting leads to students being more successful in science andengineering. High self-efficacy can positively influence academic persistence and perseverancein attaining career related goals.6, 7There are four predominant factors that lead to the development of self-efficacy in an individual.Mastery experiences are the most significant factor in developing self-efficacy and occur when aperson masters a

Thisdecision was made based on an assumption that the core courses required were the same for alloptions and a precedence established by Keith and Talbott7 .In addition, there were 32 campus associated with one of the institutions. The data do notindicate which programs and program options were offered by those campus. For the purpose ofthat institution, all programs and program options were collapsed into a single institution.At a few institutions, the same CIP Code was assigned to more than one program.

Dr. Rodriguez has given over 70 invited presentations - 13 plenary - at international and national forums, conferences and corporations. Since 1994, he has directed an extensive engineering mentoring-research academic success and professional development (ASAP) program that has served over 500 students. These efforts have been supported by NSF STEP, S-STEM, and CSEM grants as well as industry. Dr. Rodriguez’ research inter- ests include: control of nonlinear distributed parameter, and sampled-data systems; modeling, simulation, animation, and real-time control (MoSART) of Flexible Autonomous Machines operating in an uncertain Environment

The lab consists of hands-on exercises that providethe student with the opportunity to program the hardware to perform some simple useful controlfunction(s) and to make projects that can be controlled through the Internet. To implement thecourse the faculty choose to use low-cost universally available hardware that is available from avariety of online sources. The microprocessor platform utilized is the Raspberry Pi and theassociated open-source microcontroller platform is the Arduino Uno. The Arduino Uno shown inFigure 1 below has been around for some time and has been cloned by numerous vendors. Due toits longevity, there are many accessories (known as shields) available from the same vendors. Aquick search of Amazon.com will provide one
