ASPIRE Fellows receive a $2,500 per semester award for up toeight semesters. The Fellows’ progress is monitored from both an academic standpoint (i.e.,GPA) and a personal development standpoint (i.e., relationship with mentors). The ASPIREprogram success is determined by retention and graduation rates, combined with surveys thatcollect information about ASPIRE students’ external employment and perceptions of theprogram.This paper presents details of the ASPIRE program including descriptions of the recruitment andselection process, mentoring program, networking events, and academic design

Furthermore, the demonstration could beeasily expanded to be a short lab activity that could be completed by student teams to examinethe effects of several key variables, such as bed height, contaminant concentration, etc.Construction details for the demonstration are provided in Appendix B.

Whenever instructors choose to use these indirectcommunication strategies, they need to provide students with explicit lessons on how nondirective verbal interventions are actually “code” for direct commands.Instructors interviewed in this study mentioned that email communications to some middle-eastern students sometimes seemed less effective, these students preferred face to facecommunication.

To demonstrate thatthey have achieved this objective, each student writes a one-page, double-spaced, summarydescribing how their real-world application applies to a course topic. Then, to leverage the diverseexperiences of students in the course, each student is asked to share their application witheveryone in a short TED-style talk on the last day of class.

Students were made explicitly aware ofhow each concept from their courses fits into the bigger picture through an end of semesterproject that revolved around a specific aspect of the steam engine. This concept is difficult toapply to Electrical Engineering because of the wide variety of specializations offered within themajor. While connections between areas are plentiful, creating a singular project that faculty ofall specializations will deem sufficiently applicable would be nigh impossible.Alnajjar proposes “Integrative Learning
