GIFTS: Strengthening Inclusive Group DynamicsWe utilize the Gallup StrengthsFinder inventory [1] to foster diversity and inclusivity in our first-year Introduction to Engineering group projects. StrengthsFinder helps students betterunderstand themselves and others, improving team communication and performance. We alsouse this technique to address stereotype threat. Students discover the diversity of ways eachindividual engineer contributes to the profession through their unique set of strengths.The Gallup StrengthsFinder inventory reveals people’s top five strengths. These strengthsdescribe the individual’s natural talents or dispositions: domains or environments that energize.The thirty-four strengths fall into four

) experience. Theseexperiences provide a unique context for students to establish engineering communities andestablish their engineering identities. Yet, little is known about how these different experiencesaffect veterans. This WIP is a case study of two veteran students who are participants in a largerresearch project. Our analysis is guided by Wenger’s Communities of Practice framework andGee’s identity framework. The two students in this case study are Jacob and Malcolm. Jacob is atransfer student pursuing a computer engineering degree through a Post General Education(PGE) FYE pathway. Malcolm is a transfer student pursuing a computer science degree througha pre-major common FYE pathway. Preliminary results indicate that Jacob and Malcolm havesome

and connected to the database. In thiseffort, we aim to investigate academic policies in engineering programs to find the trends andchanges across multiple years. The findings will lead to the development of a complete databaseof American academic policy information that shall be available in the future for otherresearchers to use for academic purposes. By connecting this information to a database likeMIDFIELD, researchers can identify how the graduation rates, retention rates, studentdemographics and other data collected by MIDFIELD is affected by the changes in institutions’academic policies. In this project, we highlight academic policies based on two different aspects:matriculation models and good standing policies among institutions

, international experiences, community engagement, etc.Progress Reports: Progress reports help students monitor their academic performance throughoutthe semester. Each student is required to fill out 2 progress reports per semester for each course.A secondary goal of each progress report is for improved faculty-student interaction.Community Engagement: Each student is required to perform 15 hours of volunteer K-12approved outreach service and document the experience. For an experience to be approvedstudents must complete their hours with a program that has a focus on STEMM. Documentationis submitted in the E-portfolio.Program Coaching: Students will arrange to meet the degree program academic advisor and anassigned project team member (program coaches
