applied and leveraged to enhance the capstone experience thatentails industry sponsored design and build style projects. The ability to comfortably interactwith professionals in an industrial environment, manage projects entailing interactions withother portions of the business outside of engineering such as purchasing, skilled trades,marketing, sales and others allows a wide variety of challenging projects to be considered for thecapstone design course. Frequently capstone projects are proposed by companies that currentlyhave one or more co-op students. If appropriate, the co-op student acts as the point of contactbetween the student team and the industry sponsor. This minimizes the amount ofmiscommunication and also allows faster turn-around

TransformationThe National Science Foundation’s funded ($625,179) SPIRIT: Scholarship Program Initiativevia Recruitment, Innovation, and Transformation at Western Carolina University creates a newapproach to the recruitment, retention, education, and placement of academically talented andfinancially needy engineering and engineering technology students. Twenty-Seven new andcontinuing students were recruited into horizontally and vertically integrated cohorts that will benurtured and developed in a Project Based Learning (PBL) community characterized byextensive faculty mentoring, fundamental and applied undergraduate research, hands-on designprojects, and industry engagement. Our horizontal integration method creates sub-cohorts withsame-year students from

26.946.3This paper describes increased student and faculty participation in the 2014 Program. The 2014Program comprised 49 students and 14 Faculty Advisors. The 49 participating students is thelargest number of students since the start of our assessment effort (The 2013 Program comprised43 students, and the 2012 Program comprised 48 students). SOCHE continues to advertise theresearch internships conducted at the Federal Government Institution throughout southwesternOhio.In the 2014 Program, we introduced and implemented a fifth component. This component is: (E)Counseling. This component provides personal interaction among the students and SOCHE atthe Government Institution (where the students are pursuing their research projects). In thiscomponent

environment where students gain real world experience running an IT business. Professor Justice takes extreme pride and is a great innovator in the area of experiential learning and ser- vice. Experiential learning and service contributes to the integration of theory and application by creating an environment where the students learn by doing or apply their theory in service learning projects, prac- tica, internships, games, and simulations. The Living Lab for CIT was created out of the need to provide a business environment for students to give them a taste of a ”real” IT environment. A secondary purpose is to provide service to internal and external clients. The Living Lab has served many internal and external
