. Through the 1980’s, New Jersey Institute of Technology, known earlier asNewark College of Engineering, was best known as a primary source of practicing professionalengineers. Through visionary leadership, reasoned planning and goals setting, an engineeringapproach to tactics, quality measures, and strategic resource allocation, NJIT became a majorproducer of graduate degrees, with increasing emphasis on research and the doctorate. Amongits priorities were an increase in graduate program participation in both master’s and doctoralprograms by those traditionally underrepresented in engineering by both ethnicity and gender. Astep-by-step approach is described: data gathering and analysis of student achievement, settingof admission and retention

factors to be concerned with, thusstraight student responses are not a measure of effectiveness 4.Research MethodologyIn order to properly define students’ perceived shortcomings in the quality of classroom anddepartmental experiences, qualitative and quantitative research was conducted. Studentscurrently are given course outcome surveys to evaluate the material learned in a specific course.Valuable information impacting this issue is excluded from these surveys that can assist theinstitution in its educational practices. This research was conducted to determine where theorganization can enhance students’ overall academic experience.The researchers are students from various backgrounds in engineering and technology with aninterest in furthering

staff toprofitable use at periods outside of the traditional academic year. Norwich University’s Schoolof Graduate Studies’ annual Residency events provide just such a use for two weeks (two one-week sessions) each June.The “bricks and mortar” side of the University benefits from this activity in primarily two ways.Not only are residence halls, dining facilities, etc., generating revenue, but University supportstaff (e.g., food service, custodial, maintenance, etc.), which are often laid-off at the end of theacademic year, can be retained. In addition to the obvious benefits to the individual and thecommunity in which they reside, this practice can also build staff loyalty.An interesting aside to these summer activities are the additional

Also, he was not interested in bachelor’sdegree engineering jobs. He wanted a job on a world stage where he could be creative. He didnot feel his bachelor’s degree would allow him this opportunity. He participated in the NationalScience Foundation Research Experience for

Force. The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is a society that focuses on education, research and learning. ACM provides resources to its members, including publications, conferences, professional resources, and digital libraries. • The mission of the ACM Data Science Task Group is to provide tasks in 2017 and guidance on specific capabilities in data science computing for undergraduate courses. In 2018, the task force designed two surveys to collect information on key data science computing competencies from academia and industry. In 2019, they demonstrated these competencies at the conference and collected opinions and suggestions from the data science community. Throughout 2019 and

level design situations. By contrast, ETECcurricula prepare its graduates to accept responsibilities closer to the “implement” and even“operate” functions, which require a different focus, different interest, and indeed a differentskill-set from abstractions and complex mathematical manipulations. One valid question then iswhat happens at the graduate level in ETEC and what are the research expectations? Experience shows that the majority of B.S. ETEC graduates need a course dealing withengineering applications of mathematics. Hence, we have found it necessary to require allstudents in the SCT program to take or have an equivalent credit for the course ELET6305
