theresistance of resistors, the current in a closed electrical circuit, the voltage drop across resistors,light emitting diodes (LEDs), and batteries. Using a signal generator and an oscilloscope,students learned the difference between dc and ac voltage signals. Ohm’s law was also coveredin this module. 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. Figure 4 shows an example of the color code used for thisexercise. Figure 5 shows an example of schematic electrical diagrams that students worked on.This

Graduate school is an ideal time tobegin to learn about teaching, because the pressures are usually less than in early faculty careers.Teaching also helps graduate students to become better researchers (Feldon et al., 2011).The Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning (CIRTL.net), a consortiumof 43 research universities (36 with BME programs) was created to address the need toimprove undergraduate STEM education, and its strategy is to enhance the preparation offuture faculty

Persistence is particularly important in the STEM fields, where individualswith specific skills and knowledge are needed to fill the largest growing workforce sectors,often in technology related areas. One promising intervention is built on the assumption ofa pipeline where there are not enough interested and qualified K-12 students who areeligible to enter STEM major in college thus reducing the availability of these graduates. Afew interventions, such as the “Hour of Code”, have been developed over the last fewdecades to address the pipeline issues to make STEM majors appealing to students.

The ways in which students mayqualify to take Calculus I are through ACT or SAT Math subscores, by completing the optionalmath placement exam (devised by MASC), completion of prerequisite course (Precalculus,Trigonometry, or Engineering Applications of Mathematics) taken at our university or bytransfer, or by earning credit through AP

involved. It did not take too much time awayfrom the REU students’ research activities, yet provided them with an opportunity to reach out toyounger students. It provided the REU students with an opportunity to work on theircommunication skills. By requiring the REU students to share their experiences and enthusiasmfor engineering, it reminded them of the reasons why they chose to pursue engineering or STEMdegrees in the first place. Given the positive outcomes of this experiment, it is our intention toorganize such activities in future REU program offerings.Acknowledgments:The author gratefully acknowledges the support of the National Science Foundation REUprogram NSF award # EEC-1359137 (2014-2017), award # EEC-1004915 (2010-2013) andaward # EEC

The Dean called this group of faculty the “InnovationCouncil” and gave us the task “to create an environment and culture that will inspireyoung engineers to become true innovators.” The Council created a process to offer smallgrants that we hoped would encourage and enable student innovators to try out their ideas.Initially we called this program the Innovation Program.
