recruitment, mentoring, work/life balance, and balance of research/teaching andservice loads. Strategies for addressing these issues were discussed and an action plan wasdeveloped by the departmental ADVANCE team under the leadership of the ADVANCEProfessor. Examples of planned activities include:• leveraging both university and college resources to develop a “best practices” document for avoiding subtle bias, especially for faculty search committees• surveying other departments and colleges for existing resources on effective mentoring, including examining the possibility of mentoring associate professors. (Currently the department’s mentoring system is informal, undocumented and limited to assistant professors).• scheduling a faculty

In her work, she characterizes front-end design practices across the student to practitioner continuum, develops empirically-based tools to support design best practices, and studies the impact of front- end design tools on design success. Specifically, she focuses on divergent and convergent thinking processes in design innovations, including investigations of concept generation and development, exploring problem spaces to identify real needs and innovation opportunities, and approaches to integrate social and cultural elements of design contexts into design decisions.Colleen M.

We recognized that interested individuals mayhave many more resources where they can receive knowledge that traditionally has beenobtained from colleges. To improve college experience of our students, CET takes acollaborative approach among faculty and staff.

It has been admitting 20-24 students each year and has an 85 percentretention rate for all four years. The honors program attributes its success to a number ofspecific high impact practices including; 1. Assigning a honors faculty advisor; 2. A honorsstudent association responsible for social and academic activities; 3. Maintaining cohesion byplacing each cohort into nine honors courses in the first three years; 4. Providing honorseminar classes; and 5. Requiring two honors directed research projects. Together thesepractices provide students help in their acclimation and later
Project- Based LearningAbstractOur research examines information literacy education and resource use in significant andsuccessful projects connecting technology with human need completed over a twelve year periodbetween 2003 and 2014 by STEM undergraduates at a technical institute. We explain theevolution of collaborations between librarians, faculty project advisors, and research methodsinstructors during the preparation and completion of complex multidisciplinary projectscompleted mainly off-campus at project centers in the United States and around the globe. Theprojects we examine are completed as a mandatory graduation requirement for mainly third yearundergraduates, 71% of whom will graduate with engineering

There are now morestrategic efforts in engineering to address society problems, liberal arts literacy, the “big ideas”,innovation and entrepreneurship, and interdisciplinary studies related to engineering (calledSTEAM by including the ARTS). Some large engineering schools in their strategic plans arenow including growth in these areas to impact society (e.g. Purdue, Iowa, Texas A & M).2.0 Unique Vision and Calling for SCU Liberal Art SchoolsA few sectors of the STEM market and associated salary may be weak and connected to weakSTEM skills, work ethic, and too many product engineer type graduates looking for high payingjobs but who are unprepared to

Thus, the need to prepare CECM college students for a smooth transition from theacademic program to the workplace becomes necessary.Civic engagement and service learning have increasingly become an integral part of learning andteaching strategies across many universities and colleges nationwide. As such, CECM facultyrecognizes the benefit in combining civic engagement and service learning activities with theCECM curriculum. Introduced at beginning engineering courses

Service-learning offers engineering-technology studentsan opportunity to practice engineering design and apply technology by engaging students in“activities that address human and community needs” and in so doing, afford
