continued success of incoming graduate students in an era of uncertainty, anxiety, anduneasiness. The piloted virtual orientation program ran in a variety of digital platforms,asynchronously and synchronously, and included several best practices and strategies for asuccessful graduate student orientation (Almanzar et al., 2016), e.g., exploration of relevantresources (academic platforms, health and wellness, communities of support, etc.), social events,career discussions, and departmental advising and mentoring. This new program also integrated acomprehensive teaching assistant (TA) training component for those students who would beassigned teaching assignments.LiteratureGraduate Student Orientation: Research on transition to college is largely

The students’ research topics were agreed at the outset between the parties concerned (i.e.,academic supervisors and industrial co-sponsors, typically, although in a few occasions thecandidate participated in the definition of the project as well). The research topics wereadvertised as available projects and candidates would apply to a specific project with anallocated supervisory team.The researchers enrolled in the degree program follow a bespoke, student-centric industry-informed program of training which includes: (i) A focused, deep technical training andexperience in an embedded intelligence thematic area central

He is an Affiliate Researcher at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA, focusing on the energy efficiency of IT Equipment in a Data Centers. As a means of promoting student-centric learning, Prof. Radhakrishnan has successfully introduced games in to his sustainability classes where students demonstrate the 3s of sustainability, namely, Environment, Economics and Equity, through games. Stu- dents learn about conservation (energy, water, waste, equity, etc.) through games and quantifying the results. He has published papers on this subject and presented them in conferences.

Distance education technology includes WEBCT-Vista and video chatsessions using web-cams provided to the students.The curriculum consists of 30 credit hours of coursework which follows a fixed plan of study. Inaddition, there are three one-credit hour modules which covers a directed (applied) project.Students are encouraged to select an area for improvement in their career area. The target size ofa cohort is 25 students.In 2005, a program was initiated in cooperation with Rolls-Royce Corporation that was modeledafter the Weekend Program. It also follows a fixed plan of study modified to meet the needs ofRolls-Royce and is delivered at the UAW/Rolls-Royce Training Center by Purdue
iterativeprocess of designing, predicting performance, building, and testing – should be taught from theearliest stages of the curriculum, including the first year” 7. Many programs are also seeking toanswer this call by integrating more hands-on activities and active learning in lower-divisioncourses, which require more facilitation than the traditional large lectures. This sharply increasesthe need for teaching resources compared to traditional, large-lecture format courses. Because oftime and budget constraints, more and more engineering graduate students are assuming teachingresponsibilities, especially in introductory courses.In 2007, the last year for which data are available, more than 70,000 full-time graduate studentsin science and engineering
anything, the pace of this change is accelerating. Although there are exceptions, in general, engineering education has not kept up with this changing environment. I think it is only a slight exaggeration to say that our students are being prepared to practice engineering in a world that existed when we were trained a generation or two ago. They are not being prepared for the 21st century.”□ “So, what needs to change? A lot, I think! Most obviously, we need to focus on curriculum, pedagogy, and diversity. … But the need for change goes deeper … We need to scrutinize the current system of faculty rewards … Recall that my definition of engineering is design under constraint. I believe the process of design is a synthetic, highly
