During this time, he also volunteered extensively with the educational arm of the Micron Foundation, bringing inquiry-based STEM outreach lessons to K-12 classrooms throughout the Boise area and serving as a career mentor to high school students interested in pursuing engineering as a career. Taylor’s role at CSATS focused on interfacing with science

(2016), these factors transformed consumers into creators. Sources havealso acknowledged the catalytic and supportive role that Make magazine and Maker Media haveplayed in the development and growth of the movement. Both Dougherty (2014) and Martinrecognized Make magazine as a movement catalyst. A 2011 Economist article noted Makemagazine’s influence as a “central organ of the movement” (p. 3) and Morozov (2014) describedit as a cheerleader for Makers, acknowledging that the “intellectual infrastructure” provided byMaker Media allowed Makers to develop
lecture format. This becomes a concern when predictingtheir performance based on their lower division work. While students may excel at traditionallecture style courses, they could experience a difficult adjustment period to PBL. In a +2program, this is exacerbated by the transfer process and interacting with new faculty, newexpectations, and new university infrastructure. Consequentially, these factors could negativelyaffect the students’ academic performance. While it is important to scaffold the transition toallow for inclusion of many types of student experiences, better predictors will serve to enhancethe ability of faculty to support student success.Transfer IssuesStudents typically transfer into TCE from partnering community colleges and

The interdisciplinary team was formed under the NSF-funded Engineering Research Center for Bio-mediated and Bio-inspired Geotechnics (CBBG).The Center is a four university partnership between Arizona State University (ASU), GeorgiaInstitute of Technology (GT), New Mexico State University (NMSU), and University ofCalifornia, Davis (UCD). The Center concentrates on developing sustainable, environmentally-friendly, and cost-effective approaches to the design, operation, and maintenance of geotechnicalaspects of civil infrastructure systems.A CBBG Curriculum Committee was formed with the

Inaddition to their technical and analytical expertise, they need to be flexible, resilient,creative, empathetic, and have the ability to recognize and seize opportunities” (p. 36).4Over the last decade, the Epicenter partners have seen

the collective, dynamic behavior of the system of people,infrastructure, policies, practices, values and beliefs. In the same way, we are suggesting that thelearning and designing for sustainability is a systems-level phenomenon that requires perspectiveand action at the systems level; such learning for sustainability cannot be found by isolatedmeasures of individual learning.From a systems point of view, the action mode available and its inherent leverage are limited bythe level of perspective in a system as depicted in Figure 1. If one only has access to visibleevents, such as an absence of sustainable communities, they can only be reactive. For adaptiveaction, one must see the systemic patterns that give rise to what occurs as the problem
piggyback to existing infrastructure 11. Scalability: the scale of thenetwork system is assured by being a distributed set of nodes that, while they do not trust eachother, are certain to arrive at a consensus simply by statistics. Capacity: mining nodes need beonly large enough to fit a working set of blocks in memory and others in any supporting storagemechanism. Compression techniques are known for minimizing storage requirements of thechain 12 while preserving data integrity. Availability: the network is resilient, it is designed tosupport nodes dropping at any time and in any quantity, as long as users can access at least onenode. Theoretically, one node could be the entire network system, although as the number ofnodes decreases, the

take ownership of the project: students to choose a topic of interest tothem, with the expectation that this will keep their motivation and involvement high throughoutthe semester; b) Students learn to find and acquire data from existing databases.Guidance: Student teams were asked to choose topics of relevance to CEE with example topicsincluding: Infrastructure, Transportation, Energy (production, consumption, renewables), Food,Water Resources, Air Pollution, Climate, Technology (development, adaptation, use). Thestudents were directed to use existing data in databases of governmental (local, state, federal) andintergovernmental (UN, UNEP, WHO, FAO, WTO) organizations, but they were not reallyrestricted to data from these sources.

For the project, incoming freshman will be given a plot of undeveloped land that, by the time they graduate, will be turned into a blueprint for certain segments of the city (time constraints prevent the design of an entire city). Design tasks include all facets of the traditional civil engineering program, such as site planning and layout, sewer and water infrastructure, water supply, wastewater treatment, buildings, transportation systems, channel design, floodplain analysis, and geotechnical work. A common, four-year design project unifies the curriculum and allows material learned in early courses to carry forward, unlike

While there is evidence that the students who sign up withMentorNet begin the program with a high rate of self-confidence, a final and strong theme fromthe evaluation was the, perhaps additional, impact MentorNet had on the students’ self-confidence and resilience due to the personal encouragement they received from their mentors.This is an important outcome of the MentorNet program since low self-confidence has beenidentified as one of the key factors that contribute to women’s exodus from technical andscientific fields.

As seen in Figure 5, within the last 5 semesters (spring 2018 – spring 2020), it canbe observed that the results from the spring 2020 projects were comparable to the previoussemesters. The majority of sponsors felt that the students, even though they collaborated virtuallyfrom March 12, 2020 in spring 2019, until the end of the semester, still attained or exceeded theoriginal goals of the project. This was not surprising to the faculty advisors as most teamsdemonstrated resilience and tenacity and were able to find ways to complete the project evenwith the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though it was challenging for the students andfaculty advisors to collaborate virtually on hands-on projects, timely feedback
