: Create Spaces to Highlight Local TalentAbstractThe paper will focus on a two-semester service-learning project in which ArchitecturalTechnology Students are partnering with a local entity called Reclaiming Community. Reclaimis a subsidiary of a larger local organization with a mission to bring about sustainableregeneration, improvement, and management of the physical environment through their Art Shedinitiative. Each semester will develop a separate set of shed designs, with separate assessmentmethods and outcomes. The over-arching goal of the project is revitalizing the neighborhoodsthat will house these sheds, and encourage the love of art and design in area. Sheds are designedwith the intent that after a

The coreteam identified the audience and established outcomes for the executiveeducation program. The curriculum was developed following “ADDIE”, aninstructional design methodology. The program evolved into three modules witha combination of on-line, on-site, synchronous and asynchronous modes ofdelivery. The assessment of learning and application was carried out withassignments and action learning projects with real-life problems, evaluated usingrubrics aligned to the program outcomes by a panel of

Maxim has worked as a software engineer, project manager, professor, author, and consultant for more than thirty years. His research interests include software engineering, human computer interaction, game design, social media, artificial intelligence, and computer science education. Dr. Maxim is professor of computer and information science at the University of Michigan—Dearborn. He established the GAME Lab in the College of Engineering and Computer
University of Applied Sciences in Groningen, where he taught both in Dutch and in English. During this time his primary teaching and course develop- ment responsibilities were wide-ranging, but included running the Unit Operations laboratory, introducing Aspen Plus software to the curriculum, and developing a course for a new M.S. program on Renewable Energy (EUREC). In conjunction with his teaching appointment, he supervised dozens of internships (a part of the curriculum at the Hanze), and a number of undergraduate research projects with the Energy Knowledge Center (EKC) as well as a master’s thesis. In 2016, Dr. Barankin returned to the US to teach at the Colorado School of Mines. His primary teaching and course

During this tour, she served as both the Safety Officer and the Construction Officer where she was the Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR) as well as Civil Engineering Project Manager for the Academy’s $5.2 million dollar construction program including all aspects of the construction process: cost estimation, general scopes of work, management of change orders and contractor evaluations.Dr. Hudson V. Jackson, U.S. Coast Guard Academy Dr. Jackson received his PhD from Rutgers University, specializing in Geotechnical Engineering. He is a licensed Professional Engineer with over 30
management projects. She works extensively with food banks and food pantries on supply chain management and logistics focused initiatives. Her graduate and undergraduate students are integral part of her service-learning based logistics classes. She teaches courses in strategic relationships among industrial distributors and distribution logistics. Her recent research focuses on engineering education and learning sciences with a focus on how to engage students better to prepare their minds for the future. Her other research interests include empirical studies to assess impact of good supply chain practices such as coordinated decision making in stochastic supply chains, handling supply chains during times of crisis and
clusters, one of which is clean energy. Inone state, this is due in part to the 2008 Global Warming Solutions Act (GWSA), whichmandates that greenhouse gases be reduced in the state to 25% below 1990 levels by 2020, and80% by 2050 [1]. To address the growing need for investment in job creation, a privateuniversity, an urban high school, and an industry partner collaborated to create a program forhigh schoolers to instill excitement in this growing field. Specifically, this program addressesthe increasing need for a diverse and highly skilled STEM (Science, Technology, Engineeringand Math) workforce with a focus on Clean Energy. The program was designed to: ● Offer an introductory engineering design course which used project-based learning
ofenrollment and graduation, U.S. institutions will fall short of producing the needed HPCprofessionals [6]. Worse yet, groups largely untapped by this field, women and minorities,make up a significant portion of the nation’s growing talent pool [7], but are extremelyunderrepresented in HPC related disciplines.A Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site is an important mechanism to combatthe shortage of HPC professionals. The REU program by the U.S. National ScienceFoundation (NSF) supports active research participation by undergraduate students in any ofthe areas of research funded by the NSF. REU projects involve students in meaningful ways inongoing research programs or in research projects specifically designed for the REU program.As one

wheresustainability is only in environmental engineering or biology, this minor is open to every students.Undergraduates interested in sustainability can also apply for Experiential Learning in CUAS (EL CUAS).Through EL CUAS, 8 to 10 undergraduates per year work collaboratively in a yearlong program wherethey complete courses, participate in professional development and carry out a project with a sustainabilityor urban agricultural focus. Students selected for the experiential learning (both science and non-sciencemajors) gain valuable project management skills, communication skills and the ability to scientificallyanalyze project data. All groups are also required to design and build technology to solve a sustainabilityor urban agriculture problem. Thus
