We will also share ourcomprehensive model of program supports and how we plan to measure the usage, effectiveness,and long term impact of those supports over time. 1. IntroductionThe Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Stony Brook University seeks to educateengineers who will possess basic concepts, proficiency in using modern tools, and necessary skillsto maintain the technological and economic competitiveness of United States. Our faculty istotally committed to this vision and understands that the realization of this goal requires anexpansion of the traditional
discussedwhether we need to see the students via streaming video for their talks and interactions.However, working with the learning technology team, we found that live video orstreaming is not reliable enough due to the wide locations of our participants. Over theyears, we have had people connecting from remote fields, small rural towns, the middleof Africa, and the suburbs of Shanghai. Truly, video streaming is a detriment in thesemoments (as of this writing) because of poor (or no) connections. So we stick with whatworks: audio, slides, and the active functionalities our meeting platform can provide.The basic course cycle: OverviewOver the normal 16-week semester, these graduate engineering students have much toaccomplish in our course.

It is predicted that the demand for STEM talent will increase dramaticallywithin the coming decades.2And yet there is a shortage of properly trained graduates to contribute to the advancement ofthese fields.3 This has resulted in a national calling by the institutions of higher education, policymakers and education experts for an increase in the number of bachelor’s and advanced degreesthat are granted in the engineering, theoretical and applied science fields.4There is also a sense of urgency to promote the STEM fields among the non-traditional

In the latter case, there are implicationsthroughout all industry-based training and into the preparatory academic programs.Finding a solution for the shortage of chief engineers and technology executives onlyserved to demonstrate that it was a short-term fix and that we also had a long-term issueto manage. However, the outcomes from the executive training program were an idealstarting point for a top-down view that would identify the key characteristics of thesystems we seek to develop and exploit.
