26.336.2Expected outcomes and future workThe steering committee will incorporate the feedback gathered at this special session into thenext draft of the guidelines document, which will be available for community review.JustificationThe special session format will meet the dual goals of gathering knowledge from the computerengineering community and sharing the results of the steering committee's work in progress. It isimportant that IEEE-CS and ACM keep the curricular guidance documents current. Therefore,audience involvement for this presentation is essential and ASEE provides an optimal venue forthis important event.References[1] J. Impagliazzo, S. Conry, E. Durant, A. McGettrick, T.

In a further effort to close this divide, a multidisciplinary Scholarships for Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) National Science Foundation (NSF)program was undertaken to recruit, retain, and develop leadership skills in underrepresentedstudents majoring in electrical, computer, and software engineering (ECSE) at a largeMidwestern university (computer science majors were not housed in this department). It washypothesized that the program would result in higher academic performance among programparticipants than in their non-participating peers, as indicated by their

Figure 1: Distribution of Grades per ClassThe dataset includes cumulative GPA per semester that is recorded in a 0.00 to 4.00 range, whileindividual course grades were recorded in a +/- letter grade range from A+ to F. The coursegrades also include I for incomplete, S for satisfactory and W for withdraw. All +/- letter gradeswere converted to a range between 0.00 and 4.00 based on Table 2.In addition to the course grades and cumulative GPA per semester, the dataset containsinformation such as the location of origin, ethnicity and gender, and previous educationalperformance if it existed. —- has a “repeat-delete” policy that allows students to retake a courseand replace the previous grade with the grade from the latest offering of the course

benefits ofinterventions. It is no surprise that a supportive learning environment would bring about student successand that historically underrepresented groups experience additional need for this support.Moreover, diversifying the gender and ethnic representation of ECpE graduates would yield amore diverse engineering work force more equipped to meet the challenges of tomorrow.Diverse teams are beneficial for an amalgam of moral, equitable, and innovative reasonsincluding improved problem solving and improved work outcomes [17]. This representation anddiversification is pertinent for professional and ethical advancement.

In the first step, thetarget directory structure is built followed by appropriate target files, make files, andhook files. In the next step, the appropriate Target Language Compiler (TLC) files andS-functions of each block are created. TLC files are the script files that specify the formatand content of output source files. S-functions are computer language description of aSimulink block written in Matlab, C, C++, or Fortran.

Student Feedback and Assessment MethodThe following survey questions were given to students and the results are shown below eachquestion. A five-point Likert scale was used (1: Strongly Disagree, 2: Disagree, 3: Neutral, 4:Agree, 5: Strongly Agree). Students were asked to assess how well the outcomes were met. Thetotal number of students who completed the survey was 21. Learning Outcomes: By the end of the lab, students should be able to: 1) Understand that a solar panel can produce an output voltage and current (or energy) when facing a light source. 1: S.

engineering positions.ResultsP1’s Mental ModelThe concept map representation of P1’s mental model is shown in Figure 1. The focus of P1’smodel of voltage and current is through the mathematical relationship, V = I * R (where V =voltage, I = current, and R = resistance), or its permutation, I = V / R. The three variables in theequation are treated as mathematical quantities, with no direct reference to anything physical.Thus, in the first equation, when V changes, I must change proportionately; but in the secondequation, if I increases, then V must increase and R must decrease. P1 states that this only workssome of the time, but P1 does not know what to do when it does not. The terms “voltage” and“current” are often used together, with the idea that

Itfaces challenges in attracting engineering students given the specialized nature of itsengineering offering (and poor student understanding of these specializations) and extremelystrong competition from New Zealand‟s two most established engineering universities, TheUniversity of Auckland and Canterbury University. Indeed, local secondary schoolengineering students have many decades of tradition of leaving the city, primarily forCanterbury in order to pursue their studies. This tradition is firmly in the mindset of parents,secondary school teachers and careers advisors.To help retain engineering students in the Wellington region, a partnership has been formedbetween VUW and the Wellington Institute of Technology (WelTec), the
