, students were “challenged to convey scientific information in a different, moreengaging way.” Aiming to engage a reader beyond an instructor or peer encouraged them to, “change[their] writing style and employ more media, such as YouTube videos, in the project.” Furthermore,freedom to organize the module outside the framework of a traditional paper helped students “understanda better chronology to explain sustainability issues.” Overall, The knowledge that the module “could bebeneficial to someone in the future” motivated students to write more freely and create a story.In addition to the self-evaluation form, interviews were conducted to better capture students’ case-writingexperience and learn about their prior exposure to sustainability.

Awards. Increase financial support for low-income students with academicability/talent or potential for engineering degree programs by offering an average of 24scholarships per year over a 6-year period to at least 36 unique students. Attention will be givento recruiting students from backgrounds that are underrepresented in engineering at theUniversity.II. Multi-Layered Mentoring. Support student’s academic success, matriculation, sense ofbelonging, persistence, and career aspirations with faculty mentors, peer mentors and industrymentors; coordinate with academic advising.III. Social and Academic Support. Foster cohort formation through collaborative design teamprojects for introductory engineering design courses, regular S-STEM activities

the statics book, as well as writing content that could not be found in othersources, such as the reaction forces. She wrote a few examples for the book, but most of the workwas editorial by organizing the content into chapters. When she was first asked to help compileand write this OER book, she was extremely excited. Once she began working on it, she began tofeel overwhelmed and found it quite daunting at the beginning. Although aspects of thedevelopment of the OER took numerous hours and became monotonous, she thoroughly enjoyedwriting her own sections and examples. The process was more time consuming than she expected,but once she finished compiling and writing all the chapters, she had a great sense of pride andaccomplishment.Overall

Following the completion of thecourse materials, a curricular course proposal was submitted to UFS and underwent consultationprocedures. Ultimately, the proposal was approved by UFS in April 2018 and the course wasoffered to students for the first time in the fall of the same year.Throughout the course, students had access to a variety of fluid apparatus and were encouragedto experiment with creating novel flows. Each image produced by the students was required to beaccompanied by a write-up, which some of the art students found surprising. The student workwas then evaluated for both artistic and scientific merit, with an emphasis on developing anappreciation for the beauty of

was as good(87.8%), if not better, than other students (77.6%). However, under-represented minorities(65.4%) and first-generation students (64.7%) did not fare as well. A number of studies havedemonstrated that first generation students, in particular, face some unique challenges [2]–[5].These students can lack the cultural capital their continuing peers have including the skills andknowledge to build social networks with their academic peers and the ability to tap institutionresources.These observations have encouraged us to consider implementing changes to our freshman levelcourses that can support the development of social networking skills and encourage theidentification and use of resources such as faculty and graduate teaching assistant

Situate their work in the relevant social context(s). 4. Develop and deliver a clear, convincing oral presentation and 5. Write an extensive professional report. Students’ course grades are based on: 1. Professional management of their project andeffective communication with all parties. 2. Quality of deliverables‐ both in implementation andreport. 3. Timely achievement of project milestones and deliverables. 4. Professional behavior. 5.Peer and self-evaluation (see Table 1) were infused in the above grading scheme. One

for KU, which is a small, private, nonprofit, primarilyundergraduate teaching institution with limited ME department funds.1.1.3 Repeated Use of Assignments with Little ModificationPerennially, the simulation laboratory assignments of MECH-431 are reused, sometimesterm-to-term with no changes. Usually, there are numbers that are changed in the assignmentsfrom one school term to the next. However, these changes are largely insignificant. This leads toan academic dishonesty problem with the students. Each term students are caught cheating byre-using laboratory assignments that were submitted by their peers in previous school terms, eventhough they are told explicitly that they are not allowed to do so. Unauthorized use of materialsfrom previous
