Such a multi-facet project needs to be monitored and evaluated from each and everyperspective: project management, student support activities and programs, scholars, faculty, andsupporting staff. On the other hand, the project plan needs to be flexible enough so that certainaspects of the project implementation can be adjusted to best serve our students. A flexiblemindset is necessary

That the REU site experience had a significant impacton these intentions is also reflected in participants’ responses to the open-ended questions on thesurvey: “Before contact with the CCIS REU, my plan consisted of: Graduate with a somewhat reasonable GPA and try to find a job with a BSEE without even considering a MS or PhD in any major. This REU has forced me to reevaluate those plans.” (REU site participant, Male, open-ended survey response) “I entered into the program after nearly failing out of college.

As part of a National ScienceFoundation Advanced Technological Education project, a group of high school teachers wasoffered the opportunity to work in advanced manufacturing labs with engineering faculty. Theseprojects included additive manufacturing (AM) of ceramics, surface characterization of AMmetal parts, and surface alteration. The teachers were tasked with developing lesson plans whichincorporated the advanced manufacturing concepts that they had learned.As part of the assessment of the program, teachers were given pre- and post- research experiencesurveys

In particular, we used a mixed-methods approach consisting ofsurveys, student focus groups, instructor interviews, and final exam comparisons.

course.IntroductionAs universities strive to graduate engineering students who can make an impact on society,engineering leadership programs have become more prominent. The National Academy ofEngineering [1] as well as various engineering professional societies highlight the importance ofleadership skills in engineering [2-6]. This trend is reinforced by the newly approved ABETCriteria for the 2019-20 review cycle that includes “the ability to function effectively on a teamwhose members together provide leadership … establish goals, plans tasks, and meet objectives”[7]. With these ABET changes come questions about how to assess leadership. Because theconversation among educators on developing leadership in engineering students is growing, thisresearch seeks to

The ELC sought to give the students a campus communitywhere they can form friendships and connections with their peers. A unique component of theELC is that the students are paired with a peer mentor known as a Peer Advocate Leader (PAL).PALs are utilized in the classroom to help connect the first-year students to campus resourcesand to plan social events to build a class community. These mentors can have a huge impact andcan help students adjust to the college environment.

If more than one TA was interested in a topicor range of topics, creating a series of workshops together was encouraged. TAs would pick atopic, create a short Google Sheets presentation in the shared Drive and plan or request anyneeded materials. The presentation typically included some brief background info, for exampleresistor color codes, simple circuits
