Allow for campers to visualize themselves succeeding in a college setting.The researchers measured the success of meeting these goals through anonymous pre- and post-surveys from 70 of the 99 camp participants on the days they attended the camp. These surveysincluded ranking, short answer, and multiple choice questions. Goals 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7 wereaddressed using these anonymous surveys, but after reviewing the 2015 camp, it has beendetermined that goal number 3 was not explicitly addressed.The 2015 STEPS camp featured a variety of changes from the last 15 years

The recent rollout of our multidisciplinary senior design program provides us with aunique opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of this approach in relation to overall careerreadiness as well as select “soft skills” such as project management and ability to work inmultidisciplinary teams. Presently, we have relatively large cohorts of recent graduates from boththe single (<2012) and multidisciplinary (2012+) sections, and, in this study, they were assessedon their experiences in the senior design program. The findings from this work-in-progress studywill provide empirical support for multidisciplinary experiences for students by highlightingeducational and career-development

Eachmilestone is classified both by the level at which advisors in our College believe students shouldaim to complete it and by the dimension of the student’s college education under which thatmilestone falls. Thus the flight plan forms a matrix divided into stages of their career (i.e., frompre-frosh through senior level) and into “runways”, which we categorized as 1) academicperformance; 2) career preparation; and 3) leadership & community engagement.

, 2016Implementation of Materials Science in the High School ClassroomHigh school science teachers often express two key challenges: teaching science in a way thatencourages students to pursue careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering, andmathematics) fields and equipping graduates with literacy in math and science required forsuccess in those fields. This paper describes a professional development program rooted in thefield of materials science that was developed to address these difficulties. The program is fundedby the U.S. Department of Education’s Math and Science Partnerships (MSP) program. Over thethree-year introductory phase of the program beginning in summer of 2012 and continuingthrough spring of 2015, several key goals were achieved and

Moreover, parents were invited to attend a picnic and the girls’ presentations on the last dayof the camp.
