Past topics of this workshop include intergenerationalcommunication, cultural awareness, DiSCÓ leadership styles, personality type assessments, andconflict resolution. Many of these workshops have been supported by industry partners, and theyhave sent representatives to help deliver some of the activities. Once the leadership trainings are completed, there a number of ways for mentors to getinvolved in the organization. The most popular

In an effort to train senior biomedical engineering studentsto be more effective writers we adopted a two-stage approach that began with first training theprofessors to effectively teach students to be better writers (Maroon Institute for WritingExcellence) then employing two strategies: Writing-to-Learn and “Scaffolding” Writing in thecourse to develop our students into effective writers (Figure 1).

Adiversity score was calculated for each track by counting how many of each mechanics,electrical, programming, cell, and materials science classes were in each track offering andcomputing the standard deviation of each track, where high numbers meant less diversity incourses.In addition, faculty, alumni and current student surveys were collected through an online surveysystem asking a variety of questions about importance of skills, topics, ranking of courses andpreference of topics, as well as career alignment with track area. The survey was sent to 400people and a 34% response rate was achieved with an even gender split amongst participants.The survey of both

international students will already befully apprenticed into the target discursive practices of their field. While many students whoenter into U.S. institutions of Higher Education may take a number of academic writing coursesin their undergraduate career by means of an Intensive English Program or other EnglishLanguage Program, many of these courses do not place emphasis on the advanced, technical, andfield-specific writing skills needed to successfully navigate the academic and scholarlyenvironment. Indeed, these courses typically focus on genres of essay writing (e.g., expository,descriptive, narrative, argumentative) instead of scientific, disciplinary genres that are crucial inthe process of developing theses and dissertations as well as in the

The ultimate objective of these activities is to encourage more students to choose aneducation in the STEM fields and pursue a STEM-related career in the future [2].Getting more students involved in the STEM education is already a challenge. Attracting morefemale students into the STEM fields can be even harder. Statistics data show that there is a biggender gap in the STEM fields in workplaces. It has been found that women make up 46% of theworkforce but hold only 24% of jobs in STEM fields [3]. Many institutions and organizationshave realized this challenge and provided various activities to promote female students into theSTEM fields [2].

It is a balance between which is more beneficial for the students’education and which is more beneficial for the ultimate goal of certifying a building in LEEDO+M: Existing Buildings. The advantage of the traditional path is that it is the same procedure (and point structure)the students will be using in their future careers when working on the LEED certificationprocess. The skills and knowledge learned in this path are directly transferable, a fact that will bebeneficial to their future employers. By allowing students access to LEED Online they

The hope is that once they were selected into the program and provided financial support via scholarship, their GPA will improve because they will have more time learning and improving their technical competency. Many anecdotal stories shared by our ET students indicated that they are really committed to a STEM career partially because of their desire to improve their life situation.
