with engineeringoutreach activities to enhance the learning experience of the students enrolled in an engineeringcourse (EGR 299 S course). The objective was to improve the retention of underrepresentedengineering students (majority at CPP) by providing them with opportunities to use theirtechnical engineering skills and by providing them with opportunities to work in diverse andmultidisciplinary teams (building confidence in their knowledge) in order to build relationshipswith K-12 students and to motivate the K-12 students to pursue STEM fields.Introduction to CPP engineering programsCal Poly Pomona is a four-year institution well-known by the diversity of its student population(0.2, 23.6, 3.3, 38.9, 0.1, 19.7, 3.9, 4.4 and 5.7 % of American
render more loss of life anddestruction of property. As an example, large fires have destroyed highly affluent neighborhoods acrossCalifornia, Texas, and Florida. Floods and flash floods have killed hundreds of people around the worldeach year, more than any other weather event. Catastrophic flooding, as a result of Hurricane Harvey,left many people stranded. Tornadoes cause widespread property damage, clearing slabs and flippingmobile homes. Tornadoes are also most common in the central part and Great Plains regions of theUnited States; thus, including Mississippi (U. S. Tornadoes, 2016).As researcher Quarentelli has predicted (1996 and 2001) the increase of disasters and the emergence ofnew and more impactful disasters, there would be an
prediction model,with very few studies, such as a study by Sucharitha et al. [1], who estimated much less foodinsecurity determinants (income and distance) using more complex prediction techniques such asClustering algorithms. Future studies need to develop this idea of considering a wider range ofdeterminants (related to each case studies) using more advanced prediction algorithms such asmachine learning techniques or using a neural network, to accurately predict where the foodinsecure community is located and how to design solutions to better engage these communities.References:[1] L.

learning by the university, smaller experiencesthat do not last the majority of a semester are still valuable. For example, Attanayake foundthat the incorporation of a three-week service learning project into an introductory mathematicscourse had a measurable impact on students [20]. Construction management students whoparticipated in 10-day service-learning class acknowledged a “responsibility to use their gifts tomake the world a better place” after visiting Ecuador [21]. Our college is currently exploringopportunities to utilize guest speakers with knowledge of needs in the community to developshort-duration, service learning projects.BIBLIOGRAPHY: 1. J. S. Eyler, D.

The late-1980’s and early 1990’s showed alarge endorsement of student volunteerism and community service from American colleges anduniversities.
