The STEM Partnership of San Diego (SPSD) which, as awork in progress in its fourth of five years, is a student success initiative built on best practicesof the Mathematics, Engineering, and Science Achievement (MESA) Program and grant fundsfrom the National Science Foundation (NSF). The SPSD provides essential academic and careerdevelopment services to students majoring in STEM fields. Services include internships and/orundergraduate research experiences for diverse students. More than 600 STEM students areserved annually at the community college and university level. The best practices of MESAfocus on student groups that historically had low levels of attainment; SPSD enhances academicsupport

Yetthere are notable exceptions. Parkinson provides an overview of 24 exemplary programs, notingthat a few have ambitious goals to increase their number of graduates with an internationalexperience. These include Georgia Tech with a

The findings emphasizedthe importance of strengthening faculty-library partnerships to address these challenges effectively.By cultivating collaborative relationships, libraries can play a pivotal role in supporting facultyteaching goals while enhancing the educational experience for students. This partnership-drivenapproach paves the way for innovative instructional practices.This paper emphasizes the transformative potential of faculty-library collaboration in fosteringstudent-centered learning environments.

important to learn how to design for both, or how to convince or alter society to allow for the technology to be integrated into it. It is easy for engineers to be blinded by what they think is best for society that they forget to think about the rest of society and how their technology can impact it in ways they had not considered, much like Victor Frankenstein when he created the Monster. It's books like these and ideas such as these, not created by engineers or scientists, that reminds us of how society can view the technological innovations that scientists and engineers create and introduce into society, and how we can treat the technology as a member of society to increase its potential positive impact

As a result, theprogram capitalizes on both an understanding of college student development theory as well asa deep knowledge of the environments in which these students will ultimately be employing theself-awareness, knowledge and leadership skills gained in the program.The overall program design and the courses themselves reflect this blend of professional andeducational leadership development. There are three seminar courses – one in each year of theprogram – that are centered on the theme for the year: leading oneself, leading with others, andleading technology and innovation. As

We propose to evaluate the impact on student learning by incorporating COINS intothe lab portion of the introductory engineering course.By embedding the use of COINS in introductory courses, we anticipate that the research willshow that core engineering fundamentals that students need in order to be successful insubsequent courses are reinforced. In a typical introductory course, fundamentals are oftenintroduced without students being able to understand how these concepts can and will be appliedin practice. Many students lose interest early on in their engineering education due to this fact.By having COINS embedded in introductory courses

Themission of the General Engineering program is to provide students with the highest qualitytechnical and professional engineering education, with a particular emphasis in new or evolvinginterdisciplinary areas. The primary educational goal is to provide students with a rigoroustheoretical, laboratory-centered, practice-oriented, hands-on education that will allow them toimmediately participate and to excel in the complete spectrum of professional environments,industrial or academic.

Discussion Innovation and EfficiencyEGR 270 was designed to better support transfer of the concepts learned in the class (includingtransfer-in and transfer-out) by including both innovation and efficiency in the design of thelearning environment. This is a departure from standard practices in engineering that often focuslargely on efficiency. The SPS final exam assessment provided no evidence that replacingefficiency with innovation negatively impacted student performance on traditional SPSassessments.
