examined to identify what wasparticularly salient for their persistence and success.Purpose The Transfer-GEMS Program, a grant-funded scholarship and curricular support effort,was developed to increase the number of transfer students graduating with STEM baccalaureatedegrees from the University, and to decrease their time (number of semesters) to graduation. Theprogram was designed to provide opportunities, resources, and financial support for students, inorder to create a holistic solution to any challenges that a STEM transfer student may experience. A program evaluation was conducted to study the implementation and impact of theprogram. Findings showed that students benefitted from a number of program supports, and alarge majority

Theimplications of this research are far-reaching, offering a roadmap for educators and students tothrive in a rapidly changing technological landscape.Future research in this area could delve deeper into the specific challenges and best practices forteaching project management in the context of generative AI. Additionally, longitudinal studiescould examine the long-term impact of project management education on the careers ofengineering graduates, shedding light on the benefits of integrating these skills into engineeringprograms. Finally, research could explore innovative teaching methods and technologies thatenhance project management education, keeping pace with the evolving field of generative AIand project management.References[1] K.

The lowenrollment and retention of students in these disciplines raises concerns about the impact of thecurriculum and teaching methods being practiced in these courses. Some of the recent efforts toattract a larger student pool to these disciplines are (a) creating an awareness of the impact ofmaterials science and manufacturing in our lives, to kindergarten through K-12 students (b)inviting students to attend Open Houses where the prospective students learn more about thesecourses, the student’s involvement in the research

Committee has four strategic goals for WATERS Network • Bring together educators, scientists, engineers, administrators, and citizens to form a powerful collaborative that will transform the current state of formal and informal education in environmental engineering and hydrologic science. • Propagate “best practices” in education that are informed by rigorous cognitive and pedagogical research in order to create a diverse, internationally competitive workforce. • Enable synergistic interactions among scientists and pre-collegiate/collegiate/graduate educators in setting research agendas and distributing results for the benefit of society. • Provide broadly accessible, state-of-the-art information bases and
: 1) experiential leadership development, which requires placing studentsin opportunities that allow them to practice leading; 2) service learning, which providesopportunities for learning through interactions with communities, schools, and non-profitorganizations; and 3) experiential learning, which covers work-integrated learning, internships,apprenticeships, and other hands-on activities. These engagement opportunities are consistentwith Tinto’s theory of student integration, which postulates that academic and social integrationare key factors for increasing student persistence and graduation. Through a synthesis of themain facets of these theory-based approaches, we will: 1) describe an employability model forSTEM majors, 2) illustrate

do assigned work. These studentsprioritize studying but are inefficient because they have done few, if any, of the assignments andhave minimal or poor notes from class. The reasons students choose less than optimal learningstrategies were not explored in this study, but cognitive overload, where the capacity of workingmemory is exceeded, may be a factor in whether or not they are able to be effective learners [20].Efforts to reduce cognitive load, such as presenting new concepts in smaller chunks, andmodeling, scaffolding and providing myriad opportunities for practice, may remove some ofthese challenges.The literature shows that students want to be successful in their studies [13] but do not alwaysapply the best practices even when
