This camp will offer us a chance to test our curriculum on mixedgender and other diverse populations to increase our reach and gather more data for analysis.We will be keeping the curriculum the same and separating responses for female and maleparticipants. Due to smaller camp numbers (20 total for both genders), this will need to beoffered several times in order to reach a comparable sample size. 1. Cox, T. H., & Blake, S. (1991).

For example, Huang, et al.5 reported that female Page 26.1315.3students “were more likely than male students to complete an S&E [Science and Engineering]degree and less likely to switch to a non-S&E program." This experience is the same atVillanova University with the retention and four-year graduation rate being the same for bothmen and women.

’s two-sided of view of SoC design may have some drawbacks: Giventhe number of comments expressing frustration over certain aspects of the design, there may be arisk that the course discouraged some students from pursuing further study or employment inSoC work. If that were the case, some students might be better served by a more traditionalcourse offering that focuses more on standardized course learning objectives rather than open-ended student-driven learning. This last point is a serious consideration, and one I intend to studyin the future. I believe, however, that as I gain more experience teaching this course andaccumulate more sample projects and Zybo tutorials, students’ perceived experience willimprove. I also believe that students
can potentially engage their undergraduate students. Our study was aimed at gaining a perspective on the current status of offerings and the relative importance of I&E from both highly and less engaged members of the ASEE community. Drawing on the work of Byers et al. on the role of of I&E in engineering education4 and Shartrand et al.’s work on the nature of entrepreneurship programs,5 we established a baseline of current student engagement in I&E across curricular and extra-curricular offerings as well as a desired level of what the ideal levels of student engagement ought to be. 3.

institution. It is common to include both study abroad officials and faculty. Individualschools may be relatively small and often do not have the enrollment numbers to create a costeffective study abroad contingent. By coming together, a group of schools can create agreementsamong themselves as well as with the global partner(s). The consortium then sends a large groupof students to their partner institution(s) reducing the overall cost per student as well as ensuringthe integrity of the educational experience. Member schools sometimes sign off on course creditsthough a process of triangulation. For example, if Lincoln and University of Delaware (UD) arepart of a consortium and UD gave credit for a Statics course taken at the University of the

This one-semester course is a requiredcomponent of a mechanical engineer’s curriculum and is offered each semester. Between 100 and130 students take the course in a semester. The typical class enrollment is about 80% male, 70%in-state students, 86% U.S. citizen or permanent resident, and 14% non-US residents. The
