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

Students wereasked to write briefly on what the SDGs are, then choose one direct and one indirect UN SDG toincorporate into their proposed engineering design project. 1 Sustainability was first introducedwithin the context of the UN SDGs. These goals were presented as a way of incorporatingsustainability into the design projects. Each student had to identify at least one direct and oneindirect goal for their design and then the team worked together to identify the best direct andindirect goals to focus on as they developed their proposed designs.

It is extremely difficult to find a faculty member who is anoutstanding researcher, has extensive academic credentials, and possesses experience inprofessional practice.

A single mention of listening in one course isinsufficient. When programs are integrating communication skills, teamwork/leadership, andethics/societal impacts as required learning outcomes for ABET, listening can be explicitlyidentified to students as sub-elements among these outcomes.
