The grant is titled the Internet of Things Education Project (IoTEP) (DUE-1801090)25.Another View:One without much knowledge of IoT application technology might argue that the networkingcomponent of these sensor/actuator-based systems will be handled by the IT staff of the particularorganization or enterprise (i.e. ala Cisco). However, this would be a naïve view of what is entailedby these systems. Most IoT applications use non-Enterprise, industry and function specific, areanetworks. From the control and automation field there are many “fieldbus” implementations. Fromthe building automation field there are the

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2020Transfer Students in Undergraduate EngineeringAbstract:Transfer students to four-year colleges often face considerable obstacles to college success,including a lack of adequate socialization to the new setting, academic preparation in terms ofpractical knowledge, and college climate norms. In addition, they may find it difficult tointegrate into the informal social groups that
studyingengineering remain relatively stable throughout college; so understanding what motivates studentsto pursue an engineering career is important for developing strategies to engage students early intheir community college pathway [16], [17].Our study suggests that men and women have similar motivations for studying engineering. Surveyrespondents indicated that they were most motivated by intrinsic behavioral and psychologicalfactors, such as a desire to build things. Students also reported a high degree of social goodmotivation (i.e. a belief that technology and engineering skills contribute to the good of society).Unlike previous research using the same survey instrument with undergraduate students at four-year universities [16], women in the current

technology the engineering schools must be focused on providing a strongeducation to students in technical fields. Our college takes this issue seriously by providingstudents with a very strong foundation of engineering education that allows them to transfersuccessfully to any four-year engineering programs. Engineering students in an academic setting do not have the environment, theresponsibilities, the demands, or the interactions with other members of an engineering team, nordo they face the real-life situations and challenges that a practicing engineer faces every day.Therefore, our program decided that our mentorship initiative must have as many professionalengineering aspects as academic ones.
