It is estimatedthat Hispanics will comprise 30 percent of the U.S. population by the year 2040 and will becomethe largest ethnic group by then. Therefore, it is essential to provide perceptions of differentengineering disciplines to the future high school teachers in STEM disciplines. The pre-serviceSTEM teachers’ workshop was designed for future high school teachers in STEM fields toprovide awareness in the engineering disciplines. Therefore, three professors from differentengineering disciplines provided an entire day curriculum for each day of

While the retention rate of students in the program has not been low, there are barriersin place that do not allow for an easy transition between departments. Furthermore, otherresearch universities across the US have implemented first-year engineering courses to helpstudents gain a better understanding of engineering and design at an earlier point in theiracademic programs.1-9 These universities have reported higher retention rates because not onlyhave students gained more realistic expectations of engineering, but they have also

The curriculum is heavily geared towards project-based and hands-on learningwith a goal of exposing students to many facets of engineering.There are many works out there which show that students, and specifically first-year engineeringstudents, learn by doing and retention can be improved by incorporating hands-on projects

While anumber of issues affect student success, the area of greatest concern is student retention.Standardized-test scores, study habits, and living on- or off-campus are not the only factors thataffect retention rates. Students are more likely to stay in college if they have clear goals, areactive learners, and are active participants in classroom activities.Students learn more when they are intensely involved in their education and have opportunitiesto think about and apply what they are learning in different settings. Students also benefit whenthey are engaged in the teaching and learning of their peers, such as assigned group work, peerreview, coordinated study groups, and peer teaching in and out of class

The variety and complexity ofdesign considerations to be considered are high. In the following, we will focus on“compassionate design thinking”, i.e., on the role and impact of compassion during the designprocess. This paper presents a baseline approach for establishing a framework for compassionatedesign. The ultimate goal is to provide context-specific guidelines that can be used withouthaving direct access to the end-user.1 IntroductionThere are several tools helping engineering designers to gather and organize custom information,including Quality Function Deployment,1 design ethnography,2 focus groups3, 4 and

There are manytools available such as tests, projects, and homework assignments. These tools are used based onthe task at hand and new tools are developed as necessary. Such assessments assist the educatorin determining the student’s degree of subject mastery. Formative assessments point out gaps ina student’s understanding and provide opportunity for improvement. Final, summativeassessments involve the review of not just the final course average, but also the progress thestudent has made, the consistency of effort, and additional factors.

Second, the example may be informative to the general public contemplating thepursuit of such a degree. Third, there is a diversity of course and other offerings that might beused to satisfy degree requirements. Fourth, there is a diversity of educational and careerpathways that such a degree may create.
