engineering programs among UUMs, ranging from49% for Females to 62% among African Americans.2-4Many strategies are currently being employed to reduce this disparity. These efforts include first-year seminars, internships, learning communities, and capstone projects.2, 5 Study abroad,however, has not been seriously considered as a high impact retention activity. The researchshows that UUMs struggle in mathematics and science intensive programs such as engineering,not simply because of academic under-preparation per se, but more importantly, due to feelingsof not belonging and lack of confidence in their ability to learn coupled with low self-efficacyand self-direction.6-8 In fact, the common theme among successful high impact retentionstrategies is

class by effectively learningchemistry concepts through additional reading material required for quizzes.I first experimented with the idea of adding online quizzes in my courses in the previoussemester. Student verbal feedback was positive for that pilot project. It encouraged me topursue this project more actively with a motivation to understand if there is indeed arelationship between these two factors. If administered properly, we also hypothesise thatonline quizzes will be able to save time for instructors in the long run, which is a significantadvantage in this age of ever increasing expectations from an academic citizen. In addition, itis expected that with the use of the online quizzes, significantly more class time will beavailable for

suggestions for designing similar engineering leadership programs in the future.IntroductionFast-paced technological transformation and innovation demands not only technical expertisefrom future engineers, but also multiple soft skills, in particular leadership [1]. Crumpton-Young indicated that engineering leadership is the influence and ability to lead otherengineers and technical staff to design, create, innovate, implement and evaluate and assessservices and products [2]. MIT-Gordon engineering leadership program describes engineeringleadership as a set of capabilities and values that enable a person to accomplish a multi-disciplinary complex project by leading teams instead of functioning as an individualtechnical contributor.

becauseCIE is not the accreditation organization in Taiwan. When CIE was nominated as thementor of Myanmar for accreditation system of engineering education under FEIAP, IEETwas inevitably called again to help CIE in this endeavor. Under this project, IEET hasinvested a significant amount of time and human resources in helping FEIAP setting upthe FEIAP Engineering Education Guidelines, and it also helped on the mentoring effortof MES in establishing the engineering education accreditation system. The Ministry of Education played an important role in this endeavor because itprovided CIE and IEET with millions-dollar financial support. FEIAP has not providedany financial support so far. Without the Ministry of Education’s funding, CIE and IEETwere

(Miguel) On my resume I have knowledge of AutoCAD and, yes, I learned that from my engineering degree [program] but I really (emphasis added) learned it from my summer internship when I worked with my mentor doing some CAD projects with AutoCAD mechanical. When you’re doing an AutoCAD design a lot of shapes are already built into the program so you’re creating the design for the electrical person to follow. It’s cool because I learned how to build the basic components myself. (Alexis)While
