This paper will focus on exploratory research and willdiscuss the essential elements of the S-POWER program. As a result of ExploratoryResearch, the paper will address the following research questions: 1. What compilation of academic and social supports are essential to help mitigate transfer shock in STEM? How do these vary for different constituencies? 2. What pre-transfer elements increase the likelihood of bachelor’s degree completion in STEM? 3. How

With the advance of virtual reality (VR) technologies in terms of bothsoftware and hardware, there is a need to advance the education with adopting advanced VRtechnologies. In this project, we present our latest results of developing new VR modules in AMcurriculum. Specifically, the developed VR modules for fusion deposition modeling and fatiguetesting will be presented. In the on-going research, students will be required to use the VR modulesin comparison with the physical lab experiments. The focus will be understanding the effectivenessof VR technology on engineering curriculum.1.

. When firstapplying for this grant, the leadership team did not solicit potential collaborators within theschool of engineering already engaged in work aligned to their goals. Additionally, faculty werenot included in any project-specific team meetings and communication between the leadershipteam and faculty about this project was limited. Some faculty perceived that the leadership teamwas taking credit for their work in incorporating social content into engineering courses, whichwas exacerbated by the feeling of not being included. For example, one faculty stated, “So, I dofeel like we are a very, I can’t think of a better word, we were integrated with the [project] but atthe same time like it’s not ours.”(2) Simply hosting workshops was

Also,entrepreneurial opportunities are more accessible given the lower startups costs associated withsoftware and apps, which allow more undergraduate to participate in entrepreneurship early intheir college experiences (Pilz, 2012). These result from entrepreneurship courses orcompetitions where students create projects on their own or in partnership with industry

This natural preference for learning is reflected in the genericlearning pyramid that was first proposed by National Teaching Laboratory Institute at theirBethel, Maine campus in the early 1960’s and the related work have been proposed by severalother researchers [31-34]. Though rightly criticized, the pyramid provides a measure of contentretention from lectures (5%), laboratory experiments (70%), and design projects (90%). Thisdisparity in content retention was recognized by the 5th century B.C Chinese proverb, “What Ihear, I forget. What I see, I remember. What I do, I understand.” ENDEAVOR harnesses

One of the mostchallenging factors designers must account for is the consideration of stakeholders. Stakeholdersare defined as all individuals who affect and/or are affected by the design and design process [1];hence, they play a major role in contributing to the effectiveness of a design. Stakeholder needs,safety, behaviors, and preferences when interacting with a design will impact whatconsiderations engineers must consider when designing. Overlooking these needs not only canbe detrimental to the overall effectiveness of the final design, but more critically, can haveadverse social
