Awarding S-STEM Scholarships to Current StudentsAbstractLamar University in Beaumont, Texas was awarded an NSF S-STEM grant “Industrial andMechanical Engineering Scholars with Scholarships, Career Mentoring, Outreach andAdvisement, Professional Societies and Engineering Learning Community (SCOPE) S-STEMProgram” in 2015. Unlike most scholarship programs that target incoming students, thisscholarship targets enrolled students who have demonstrated successful progress towards aMechanical Engineering or Industrial Engineering degree by having minimum grades of B inCalculus I, Calculus II and Physics I and an overall GPA of at least 3.0. The SCOPE programrequires scholarship recipients to be an active member of the
class, did not have any work experience.These numbers are important to show why it is essential to design the class with a focus onpractical applications, and structure the assignments with this focus, which we will discuss inmore detail below.

various contextsfrom training to education. While the use of games varies substantially depending on thepurpose(s) and benefit(s) of the game provider and gamer, recent a recent literature surveyindicates that majority of attention has been paid on the affordance of the games in other wordsdeveloping and evaluating prototypes, while focus was comparably less on the actual use andeffectiveness of games [1]. Regardless of the effectiveness and generalizability of educationalgames, more and more serious games are integrated into engineering curricula as computer-based,manual, and virtual reality-type; and a scientific consensus is established on the fact that gamesand interactive simulations are more dominant for cognitive gain outcomes [5]; [1

The majority of all bachelor degreesawarded in engineering are to [w]hite males”[4],[5]. Thinking about students’ meaningful writingexperiences as related to enagement may be a way to further examine engagement as a “precursorto persistence”[6].Defining meaningful writing is important to understand its distinction.

CURE section. For thisreason, we did not advertise or inform students about the planned difference between thesections. Out of a total of 134 students (40 in the CURE section, 94 in the traditional lecturesection), only two changed sections after the first day of class, and this was for schedulingreasons. We note that for this pilot semester, the CURE section started with 110 available seats,and the traditional section had 100 available seats. We think the large difference in studentsregistered was a function of schedules for the S’18 semester.Pilot Program: Research Activities & AssignmentsIn the CURE section of IE271, there are now four research experiences involving the followingtopics: time study and line balancing, ergonomic risk and

majority of lab experience in LU’s IE curriculum occursduring the first two years in chemistry and physics that is not part of the 2+2 online program.After the 2nd year, a single weekend lab is used for our material process lab where studentsmake a hammer in our machine shop. The Work Design lab is mostly observational studies thatcan be conducted offsite. Computer aid manufacturing and automation labs are software based.Another challenge is students having consecutive multi-semester internship, co-ops and full-timeemployment where they take classes part time that extends the average time to graduation andcomplicates reporting program effectiveness including NSF S-STEM grant effectiveness. Highperforming students tend to take longer than 4 years

This exercise alsorevealed important gaps in student understanding of the types of problems that can be addressedusing OR. This misunderstanding will be used to drive changes in the future offerings of thecourse, and serve as a reminder that faculty sometimes make assumptions about student learningthat are not correct.Background on the University of San DiegoThe University of San Diego is a private school with a liberal arts tradition.
