While the Career Services presentation was perceivedas being extremely/very useful by most students, students were not as satisfied with workshops focused on general study skillsand time management. In the future we plan to rework these sessions to include a clearer connection to the CS major. A majority of the students were extremely satisfied with the organized social events with student leaders from Women inTech and the Diversity in Computing (Diversineers) student groups in our department. The Faculty Scavenger Hunt was alsorated highly by students. Figure 4 shows student feedback on those events. The field trips and overall faculty interaction wererated highly.AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR ENGINEERING EDUCATION, JUNE 2020

Tocomplete the challenge, students must conduct an aerial survey, using their UAVs with theircameras, of a model town that has been damaged by a natural disaster. The model town, dubbed“Disasterville”, includes buildings made of blocks, toy cars, and figurines of people.

At thattime, the Transfer-to-Excellence program had already confirmed the summer’s faculty hosts andhired a cohort of twenty interns. It was initially unclear how long the campus closure would lastand if a residential TTE program would be possible. As the pandemic continued, the TTEadministrative team made the difficult decision to proceed with a remote program.
