This requiresconsiderable work, however, our extensive faculty network and alumni have been supportive inproviding resources and opportunities for current WISE students.Preliminary FindingsTo measure the effectiveness of the new WISE curriculum in meeting its goals, incomingfreshmen (N = 58) were surveyed at the end of the fall semester in 2017. Baseline data werecollected to explore the following research question: How does participation in the WISEcurriculum impact students’ self-efficacy, career

Among the subjects covered in seminars were teamwork, problem solving, decision-making, and communicating effectively. Laboratory experiences included animated web-page design, computer-chip design, laser optics, computer hardware and more. WEPAN member universities which participated in the pilot project were Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN.; University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez; The University of Texas at Austin; University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; Binghamton University, NY; and Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta.

The robotics summer camp in particular used problem-based learning approaches,similar to those described in The Power of Problem-Based Learning2.

I felt more like, and was, a person on stageattended by a cohort of TAs, speaking to an audience of 150 (sort of) interested students.Personal contact with students: to be avoided lest it take time from research, or more important,proposal writing. In a word (or three): what a mess.I felt a desire to focus more on personal scholarship, removed from the pressure of constantlyseeking money. I also enjoyed teaching, including working with more than 40 undergraduates inmy laboratory over the years at Michigan.

Very few engineering programs in the United States offer purely remote learningenvironments for engineering students, and so this kind of teaching and learning was new forboth faculty, rapidly adjusting their curriculum in a short amount of time, and for the studentswho had to quickly adapt their learning styles [1].
