fellow Hispanic-Serving Institutions, our college made a commitment to 1) Encourage our STEM faculty to attend Re-Energize professional development opportunities to learn and adopt green energy educational modules into our STEM curriculum over the next three years 2) Seek space to establish a "start-up green lab" on our campus with MSEIP pass through funding from the four-year institution so that faculty can conduct classroom demonstrations and our students can perform undergraduate research. This initiative is meant to diversify and continue our undergraduate research program and include our EcoCentro facility into this program 3) Promote additional related outreach and educational Re-Energize efforts to

for academic success.1. IntroductionWith the increasing demand for a skilled and technically savvy workforce in the United States,addressing retention problems in the first two years of college is a promising and cost-effectivestrategy to address this need. A recent Committee on STEM Education National Science andTechnology Council report Federal Science, Technology, Engineering, And Mathematics(STEM) Education 5-Year Strategic Plan indicates that the United States needs make STEMeducation a priority. To achieve that goal, the Department of Education has committed $4.3billion to encourage states to develop “comprehensive strategies to improve achievement andprovide rigorous curricula in STEM subjects; partner with local STEM institutions

Pro/Engineer CATIA Autodesk InventorAmong all the above mentioned tools, SolidWorks is the most widely used software in industryand also it is taught to students in most of the educational institutions. Hence it is selected to beused as training tool in this paper.SolidWorks is a 3D parameterized design tool, focusing on Para-solid inclined solid modellingenvironment.1 Drawings in SolidWorks can be worked out from previous assemblies or assemblyportions. View generations are automatic and acquired from the solid model itself. Tolerances,notes and dimensional feedbacks, as per the requirement, can be added later on. Modules can beprepared on all standard orientations and layouts like ANSI, ISO, JIS.SolidWorks can

transitioning from a two-year to a four-year institution. In general, the top three reasonsstudents leave an engineering-based discipline are: (1) a perceived lack of belonging in theprogram, (2) issues related to difficulty of curriculum and (3) poor teaching or advising.1 Theseissues are often exacerbated in the transfer process as transfer students adjust to their newacademic environment and begin taking advanced engineering courses.2Engineering transfer students typically transfer from a community college or state college to theuniversity level in the third year of the program. Nationally, and among all disciplines, only 42%of transfer students go on to complete a bachelor’s degree. For STEM transfer students with anassociate’s degree, only 32% go

we need to push these opportunities more diligently for our Page 26.942.8students. As we continue this program, we hope to collect more firm data that supports theanecdotal evidence that we have gathered thus far about benefits to our students and how thework will ultimately support their success in future career plans. Whether through open-endeddesign projects, embedded research, or full-semester research endeavors, students come awayfrom the experience with an enriched background that will ultimately serve them well as theycontinue on to their transfer institution and on to graduate school.Bibliography 1.

partnership as well as this paper (see Figure 1). Thegraphic allows one to see the components of the effort. In the case of the high school/two-yearcollege interface, one sees that curricular alignment is a key with clear articulation. The collegeinputs Technical Dual Credit classes into the high school to make sure that the curriculumalignment loop is closed successfully. As shown on the chart, trusted articulation pathways mustbe aligned in terms of curriculum between the two-year and four-year institutions. Importantly,industry’s needs in terms of workers output from the pipeline must be accounted for throughengagement in many ways with all three institutional levels. Finally, the financial implications ofpathway choice for the student must be

. Results and Successes of the PartnershipsIn fall 2013, a total of 113 students enrolled in the Texas A&M engineering co-enrollmentprogram known as TEAM-E (See Table 1). The Texas A&M University Office of Admissionsidentified academically talented freshman applicants who, due to capacity, could not be offered aspace in the CoE taking all their courses on the Texas A&M University campus. These studentswere offered an alternative admission that provided enrollment in general studies at Texas A&MUniversity with access to engineering courses previously reserved for students with fulladmission to the CoE. Admission required the students to be co-enrolled with Blinn College-Bryan. Additional components of the co-enrollment model included

undergraduate engineering degree, and in this study are limited to students age 25 and older. The presence of adult students enriches undergraduate engineering programs because their added life experience allows them to approach their studies with unique perspectives, motivations, and strategies compared to their 1younger peers. Because of the added challenges that adult students face, their presence in undergraduate programs must be supported to improve retention of this valuable group of 2students. Prior studies have shown that identifying with engineering is linked to both 3educational and professional persistence. Our research focuses on the development of engineering

Males were also more likely (p=.153) to transfer to ASU than females.The students were asked to rank several areas for which they wanted more information. Theareas in order of rank were: 1. Financing a Bachelor’s degree 2. Learn more about engineering 3. Where engineering jobs are located 4.

in a Community College (CC).1 Themajority of Native Americans (62%), Hispanics 57%), Blacks (52%), and women (57%)undergraduate students are enrolled in CCs.1 Our research and experience has shown that CCstudents need to be exposed to engineering and computer science through CC faculty and guestspeakers or role models, as well as informed advisors. The non-metropolitan CC often has only asmall engineering/computer science program and is often overlooked by larger schools as arecruitment site. An additional challenge is that the non-metropolitan CC is often many milesaway from the college or university seeking to partner with them. Day trips to visit a remoteschool mean long hours travelling and also mean that it is difficult to take the
