, administrators, club organizers, and mentors to use theirresources effectively.Literature ReviewThe increasing need for professionals in STEM fields has been expressed at the national, and statelevels. On the national level, the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology(2010) documented the “troubling signs” for the nation’s future STEM workforce. The U.S.Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that, during the period 2012–2022, employment in science andengineering occupations will grow by 14.8%, compared to 10.8% for all occupations (NSF, 2016).The Council has predicted that over the next decade, 1 million additional STEM graduates will beneeded. Warning signs that show increasing demand for STEM professionals will not be metinclude
importance of increasing the number and diversity of graduates with bachelor’s degrees inSTEM has been highlighted in several national reports [3, 4]. To answer calls, such as the 2012President’s Council on Science and Technology stated need for 1 million more STEM degrees inthe next decade, the 2011 President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness goal of 10,000 moreengineering students from US colleges and universities each year, and the Texas WorkforceCommission estimated state projected need of 62,000 more engineers (25% increase) by 2022,developing strategic pathways to increase achievement of STEM degrees for all students, inparticular for underrepresented populations, is essential [5, 6, 7].

A summary of current data related to each program goal is included below.Goal 1: Increase the percentage of students who complete an internship prior to graduation.While data is still pending regarding internship rates for current students, there were someinteresting results with regards to the internship culture in the department. Pre and post-surveysadministered as part of MCEN2000 included questions about whether students believedinternships were valuable and whether they were planning to apply for an internship for thefollowing summer. The sample size for that survey was 180 after feedback was

engineering students to acquire a basic appreciation and understanding of many other engineering disciplines that they are likely to interact with in future – not to help them select an engineering major. • The engineering core includes an explicit course on ‘Systems Thinking and Approach’, and Systems Engineering terminology and concepts will be infused into other courses in the engineering core. • While engineering majors will study additional tools and techniques relevant to their particular discipline, a common ‘Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis’ course will be taken by all engineering students, to introduce tool-agnostic methods and model integration.It will not be until 2022 when the first

Others have described the need, more immediately, as the field having negativeunemployment [26] and the industry experiencing a “crisis” [27].The demand outpacing supply has resulted in jobs going unfilled or being performed byindividuals with less than the desired level of qualifications [26]. It has also resulted in startingsalaries that exceed even the higher-than-average salaries for computing graduates, with astarting salary of $116,000 per year for cybersecurity professionals in the Washington D.C. area,for example. At the time of this writing, approximately 30% of cybersecurity positions in theUnited States are unfiled: with 313,735 open positions, 715,715 filled positions for a totaldesired
of generating diverse and originalideas with fluency and speed. Even during design experiences, neither the importance ofcreativity nor various methods to boost it is covered, leaving students mostly on their own for alimited duration for “brainstorming”. However, creativity and originality are among the mostsignificant skills employers want today; and they are also projected to be in demand in years tocome (see Figure 1).Figure 1. A Comparison on Skills Demand – 2018 vs. 2022 (The Future of Jobs Report, 2018,pp.12 [4])To a certain extent, this rather ad hoc approach to creativity is due to a lack of knowledge on thecognitive and neural mechanisms underlying divergent thinking, and creative ideation moregenerally.

To increase thetotal study sample, we will continue this study with the classes of 2022, 2023, and 2024.ConclusionThrough a four-semester cardiograph project, LUC is investigating the hypothesis that curricularcontextual thread problem-based learning activities increase student engagement and studentretention. The findings from this second phase of the project demonstrate that students areactively engaged in the curriculum, in general, and that the cardiograph project further facilitatedthis engagement.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that occupations in information technology andComputer Science will grow 13 percent from 2016 to 2026 [1]. Regardless, most K-12 schools in theUS and other countries do not currently offer Computer Science courses, so state legislatures haveturned their attention to incorporating these programming skills in K-12 curricula. For example, inthe Wyoming Legislature’s 2018 Budget Session, Senate File 29 was passed, adding Computer Sci-ence and computational thinking to the state educational program [2]. This bill requires ComputerScience to be incorporated into the K-12 curriculum by the 2022-23 school year

Introduction According to a federal report issued in 2012, the U.S. needs to have an additional one million STEM graduates by 2022 in order retain historical preeminence in science and technology1. This is an increase of about 34 percent annually over the current rates. The report, along with the federal 5-year STEM strategic plan released in 20132, also proposes that improving retention at

Theseprocedures are in effect for our 2016-2022 ABET cycle. With 1/3 of courses being reviewed each year (1/6 in fall, 1/6 in spring), the matchbetween assignments and targeted SOs are reviewed twice in the ABET accreditation cycle. Forthe Assignment Review assessment, the instructor is required to submit a copy of an assignment(+ solution) that targets each SO associated with his/her course. It is recommended that, ifpossible, one assignment be designed to target multiple student outcomes. This serves todiminish the volume of data collected

The ability to meet this demand for a highly skilled trained workforce in STEM fieldsis a frequently discussed problem as the nation strives to be competitive internationally. Onesolution to grow the STEM workforce is to recruit from diverse backgrounds, such as studentsfrom two-year institutions, also known as community colleges. These institutes serve the mostdiverse student populations in higher education with a higher proportion of women, olderstudents, first generation students, veterans, working parents, low-income, and
