cohorts of 15 to 16 students.Student progress was monitored during Fall 2016, and in preparation for a less successfulsemester, a new activity was introduced for winter break 2016–17. SESMC purchased the bookMindset: the New Psychology of Success, by Carol S. Dweck [1]. This book was assigned asreading over the winter break and was the primary topic of discussion at the Spring 2017orientation meeting. The intent was to provide students with perspective when met with newchallenges, and tools to deal with them. Some key takeaways that students received from readingMindset and from the subsequent group discussions:  “Failing is not a reflection of my self-worth, it is merely an opportunity for improvement.”  “After reading this book I spent

The benefits of the scholarship program have been reflected instudents’ graduation and job placement rates; Students involved in the NSF-STEM program havethe highest rate of graduation within 4 years and the highest rate of job placement.In addition to the success stories of after-class professional activities, NSF-STEM students wereengaged and involved in Robotics and UAV club activities. As a result, many of these studentswere able to participate in regional, national and international competitions and received topplace ranking [7]. As an example, NSF-STEM students designed and developed two robots forthe 2016

isnot enough to spark conceptual change in teaching practice. The faculty development literaturecontends that faculty must have a more sustained experience where they are able to integrate theoryand practice and where they can interact with peers as they reflect on their own practice [16-18].Active learning instruction and technology-enhanced instruction (ex. designing hybrid and flippedcourses) require rigorous pre-course planning [19, 20]. Shifting the learning paradigm fromteaching-centered to learning-centered is also an important shift in teaching strategy.[4, 11, 13, 21]This faculty development program supports the social aspect of learning with other faculty –learning community/ community of practice model – found to better achieve

Reference [6] shows thatonly teaching mathematical methods will not develop problem solving skills. Students mustshape their own thought processes and they must be deliberate and reflective about the principlesand strategies they select for problem-solving [7]. The best way to develop problem solvingskills is to challenge students with real-world problems where students learn to solve problemsthrough applying analytical methods, establishing criterion, applying new approaches, using bothformal and compiled knowledge, and verifying and validating the effectiveness of

Students were also asked to submitlecture critiques twice during the semester. All students had the opportunity to assess their peers’presentations. Their input was factored into the final grade that each group received for theirpreliminary presentation.

The realbenefit comes from students’ reflection on different decision-making situations during classdiscussions and case study presentations. They have embrace more elevated level of economic,technical, and business issues in their discussions. However, there was one issue that caused thefaculty to consider further improvement of the case study. This issue was the lack of globalperspective in the investment strategies students have developed. Most of the case workpresented by

this outreach program isa focus on student engagement in the form of community service and service learning.In embarking on service learning in engineering, faculty at Northeastern looked at other hallmarkprograms and research to prepare. Bringle and Harcher define service-learning as “a course-based, credit-bearing, educational experience in which students (a) participate in an organizedservice activity that meets identified community needs and (b) reflect on the service activity insuch a way as to gain further understanding of course content, a broader appreciation of thediscipline , and an enhanced sense of civic responsibility.”[2] There is a section in this work onfirst-year students, where there has been assessment showing significant
