of student learning [5], [6].Several assessment instruments have been designed in the past to check student’s understandingof basic concepts [7], [8]. Research suggests that students feel the need to have access to andfeedback on any identified misconceptions early so that they can plan on making a move tocorrect them [9]. Bull et al. (2010) used a computer-based method called the open learner modelas a means of highlighting first-year introductory electrical circuits students’ interest inacknowledging their misconceptions as a first move towards dealing with their difficulties inlearning as opposed to just receiving general feedback. The early detection of errors inknowledge among students allows the instructors to be dynamic and proactive

freshman year of their engineering curriculum. At the end of the freshman yearthe reported values of self-efficacy, the intrinsic value of learning engineering, and the utility valueof engineering all decreased from the initial values reported when students entered their freshmanyear. This research also showed that intrinsic interest in engineering and the utility value ofengineering were better predictors of career path than self-efficacy.1.2 Brief Description of AcES ProgramThe Academy of Engineering Success (AcES) program was established in 2012 to increaseretention of students who are traditionally underrepresented in engineering with the goal ofultimately diversifying the engineering workforce.

State TransformerAbstract:Future of smart grids is mostly dependent on the latest advances in research on Voltage SourceInverter (VSI). The VSI mainly consists of power electronic devices i.e. IGBT, MOSFET, etc.with high switching frequency operation. High power converters are now being considered forthe transmission and distribution of power systems such as in high voltage DC (HVDC)transmission, flexible AC transmission systems (FACTs), and STATCOM, etc. Along with theseapplications, solid-state transformer (SST) is getting much attention for the high-powertransmission and distribution systems. SST facilitates HVDC power transmission with reducedtransformer size, low cost, and easy mobility. A three-stage three-port

Rather than competition for traditional schooling, informalscience education organizations, such as museums, play a complementary role in enhancingstudents’ interest and exposure to STEM learning. For example, field trips are a commonintersection between informal science education and schools that most educators believe areworthwhile for student learning (Anderson, Kisiel, & Storksdieck, 2006; Cox-Peterson, Marsh,Kisiel, & Melber, 2003; Kisiel, 2005). Trips to places like science centers, natural historymuseums, zoos, etc. “have the potential to situate learning within a rich and
sustain the new development in manufacturing processes and technologies, it iscritically important that there is skilled workforce to support the industry. Prior research haspointed to a talent gap in manufacturing industry (Javdekar et al., 2016). To that end, multipleinitiatives are taking place on different levels. For example, at the industry level, many initiativesare being taken by the companies to bridge this gap, such as upskilling the current workforcethrough continuing education (Nepal et al., 2019), or partnering with an academic institution indeveloping appropriate program or curriculum (Nepal et al., 2016; Seemakula et al., 2010). At theuniversity level, besides offering academic degree programs in manufacturing or similar

addressing the STEM workforce development has been to increase the representation ofunder-represented communities like African-American and in particular, African-Americanwomen (Landivar, 2013). The Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), which arechronically underfunded (Palmer et al., 2010), have been largely responsible for addressing theSTEM workforce disparity among Black aspirants (Palmer et al., 2010 and Perna et al., 2009).Although, the burden on HBCUs for addressing workforce disparity is overwhelming, the STEMinitiatives undertaken by them may be the most impactful in addressing this concern (Palmer etal., 2010). The author’s previous institution (TU), one of the most recognized HBCUs in the U.S.(Rankings, 2019), admits a

and enrollment data for students in the engineeringcollege since 2010, with the intention of conducting retrospective studies of engineeringretention using this data. Using “degree earned in six years or less” to label students asretained makes over half the dataset unusable. First and second year retention are options, butthese can have both false positives and false negatives. Using a data science pipeline, weanalyzed the number of consecutive non-enrolled terms, referred to as enrollment gaps, andfound that the best short-term criteria is “three consecutive semesters not enrolled inengineering.” With this criterion, we can reliably label a given student as not-retained. Theproposed retention threshold approach has the following

The research wassituated within a retrospective analysis using data from a single course taught by the author(2010-2019). The case study site was an Introduction to Civil Engineering course taught at alarge, public institution; in 2012-2016 the course was co-taught with Introduction toArchitectural Engineering. The course was required for entering first-year students majoring inthese disciplines. The learning goals of the course emphasized describing these engineeringdisciplines and the role of ethics, sustainability, and professional licensure.A
