These changes were incorporated to ensurethat the program met the goals and kept its critical components (i.e., ENG 294 course, dual-mentoring, and team-based structure). After the first year of the program, we plan to report onstudent outcomes and assessment data as well as provide a more detailed report of theadjustments made to ERSP at UIC.References[1] M.

Since currentcourse deliverables do not assess team progress in the IP and market access domains, the facultyare monitoring the extracurricular success of teams (patenting, business plan competitions,external funding, and co-curricular project continuation) for further impact over the next 5 years.Conclusion: The implementation of expert office hours successfully administered project-specific feedback in highly specialized topics at scale (~14 teams), with positive responses fromboth students and experts.

of the intervention were positive [18, 21], an important conclusion was that implementingactivities in a single course may not be the best or most effective approach. Instead, developingthe students’ ST/SE knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs) via a well-planned sequence ofinterventions that take place in different courses and during different years of the undergraduateprogram may be a more desirable alternative.Although courses dealing with product design and development lend themselves to introducingST and SE concepts, mechanical engineering undergraduate programs seldom offer more thanone or two of those courses in their curriculum. Thus, to gradually develop the ST and SE skillsof the students during their undergraduate education, it is

barriers to completion? Answers to these questions generally hit on three themes: (1) Be selective - ensure students coming to the program have academic skills to succeed. (2) Have strong counselors, peer mentors, and student success offices to help focus students. (3) Financial planning - look at how they can afford to pay for all four years, not just this semester.8. Do you have many incumbent workers in your program focused on up-skilling? The number of incumbent workers who are people with a technical type job (maintenance or associate degree) trying to up-skill is very small.
