Engineering and Computing (SPECTRA) program is an NSFScholarship in STEM (S-STEM)(Award # 1834081) based out of Clemson University in SouthCarolina. The SPECTRA program focuses on aiding transfer students interested in anEngineering or Computing degree by offering scholarships, opportunity to form cohorts, andaccess to professional skill-building programs. The goals of SPECTRA are as follows: (1) to provide scholarship opportunities to low-income students who wish to pursue engineering or computing at Clemson (2) to build cohorts of transfer students to support their transition into Clemson while also allowing for the Advisors for Cohorted Engineers (ACE) Fellows program to aid in the

As part of this degree program, a gateway course will be required for all EETsophomores that is designed to recruit into the ENET major, to serve as an introduction to AC systemsanalysis, and to explain electric energy and power systems in a systems context. This course wasdesigned specifically with the IEEE mandate in mind, and great importance was placed on meeting theprogram characteristics described above. Therefore, the course content was chosen to emphasize theapplication of building renewable and efficient electric power systems.

computing andeach requires a different skill set. It seems like people in these fields have a preference for beingtaught differently. Is it possible to predict in which computing discipline an incoming freshmanwould succeed based on their learning style? Previous research has shown a correlation betweenlearning style and academic success, but does this correlation also exist for computingstudents?In the 1970s, David Kolb developed a model to represent learning styles. His model works on atwo-axis system: concrete experience (CE) versus abstract conceptualization (AC), and reflectiveobservation (RO) versus active experimentation (AE). The x-axis, AE−RO, differentiatesbetween students who learn by doing or by seeing results, and those who prefer to

An attempt was made to determine the speed of sound with the signal generator,oscilloscope, a loudspeaker, a microphone, and a meter ruler. In addition to using DMM tomeasure the resistance of resistors, the students learned how to use color codes to determine thevalue of the resistance of resistors.

released a report, titled, “The Rise ofAsian Americans” (Pew Research Center, 2012) based on the 2010 U.S. census (U.S.Census Bureau, 2012). The title referred, in part, to the changing demographic andsocioeconomic trends. In 1960, Asian Americans comprised less than one percent ofthe U.S. population, but account for 5.6% today—becoming the fastest growing groupin the country. Immigration is driving much of this demographic change (Alba & Nee,2003; Lee & Bean, 2010). China and India have now surpassed Mexico as the leadingsources of new immigrants to the United States. Demographers project that, by 2065,immigrants from Asia will comprise 38% of all immigrants to the country. As a result,Asian Americans will nearly triple in size, and

In addition, this approach included a short onlinequiz through BlackboardTM before each course module and a short quiz at the start of classsession after each course module to improve student participation. In fact, a 2010 U.S.Department of Education report1 concluded that “Instruction combining online and face-to-faceelements had a larger advantage relative to purely face-to-face instruction than did purely onlineinstruction”.
