peers, the students had the opportunity to develop peer support and stronger interests and motivations for learning. Note that in addition to gaining technical knowledge, the students also learned team collaboration, which is essential not only in course and capstone projects, but also in their future career.(3) Hands-on and real-world oriented: The summer program encouraged the students to solve problems that are practical, meaningful, and with real-world implications. With the help of the faculty mentors, the students had the chance to tinker and dabble various prototypes until the perfection of the final product is reached.(4) It was offered online instead of face-to-face: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our campus was

best be met by exploiting multidisciplinaryapproaches. Our Senior Capstone Design Course has been established to demonstrate the valueand ingenuity which can be derived from cooperative design efforts among traditionalengineering disciplines.The projects for the senior design program are suggested by the faculty, industry, and academicundergraduate research through engineering grant contests. The requirements are that the projectbe open-ended, multidisciplinary, and have non-engineering constraints (e.g., economic,environmental, aesthetic). The students are given a choice of 10 to 15 projects (depending uponclass enrollment) and write a proposal stating their top choice. The senior design faculty teamassigns two to three students to each

friends, so we mostly had task division. What he did—he wasn’t calling me or they were just doing it and when I was asking he said, “Okay, don’t worry. We just done it. We went to the lab and we just finished it.” I got so mad and I went to the professor and said, “He doesn’t—just share those projects, because I have to get a grade, too.” He said, “You chose him as a leader, so you have to go take care of it.” I sent him a few e-mails and asked him, “Okay, you should just give me more tasks, you have to just make—” I don’t know; he just never did. For the second semester of capstone I got B, because our professor said, “I didn’t see you doing those electrical engineering things,” and I said

By working with corporate mentors studentsbecame better acclimated to the engineering profession through the use of engineering acumen,and problem solving techniques. This opportunity allowed students meaningful early exposure tothe engineering discipline and helped to shape their understanding of the field. This engagementprovided a basis for future skills needed for project based learning such as capstone coursework[7].Among the major University partners for the Summer Bridge Program are the Math and ChemistryDepartments, the Learning Center, University Library, Career Services and the Writing Center.Each of these provide unique services that benefit the program.

, students in the early years of computer science, they get these exciting project ideas about computer science and then their middle years, all they do is theory, which can push them out of the field. And then they go back in their senior year, where they start taking all of these, again, the exciting projects, final projects, the capstone project, but in the middle two years, that's where they lose excitement about the field. So part of it was retention through those tracks, to have people get a little bit more cyber security and data analytics for example in the junior year, to keep them engaged.”Track development has been collaborative as well, with faculty ownership of tracks where theirexpertise

aseither an undergraduate or graduate student, and asked respondents to rate their experiences on ascale of 1 to 4, where 1 indicates a “poor experience, decreased my overall confidence ofsucceeding in structural engineering” and 4 indicates a “great experience, increased my overallconfidence of succeeding in engineering”. The most popular courses (as reported in Table 8)among the survey respondents were structural analysis and earthquake engineering. Senior(capstone/integrated) design, finite element analysis and foundation engineering were given thelowest ratings. The finding that capstone design was unpopular was somewhat surprising, but thesurvey questions did not allow us to uncover reasons behind these responses.Table 8. Respondents’ ratings
