The areas of potentialopportunity that each student identified were shared with the class. Each of the ideas werecompared to one another to identify the top ideas with the best potential. One of the nextsteps performed by students is to design the company. Students started from developing thename of the company for the service or product that it provided.

Whilethe freshmen may demonstrate an interest in the minor and may be targeted for future marketingefforts, they are not eligible to begin the MC minor. Likewise, the seniors are too close tograduation to begin the minor. Therefore, only the second and third year students (sophomoresand juniors) are candidates for the program. As stated previously, the best time for a student toenroll in the MC minor is sophomore year. Of the current junior class (graduating in year 2020),there are 60 engineering students who have a GPA above 2.5, making them eligible to enroll inan academic minor. Of those 60, 22 have

Over a period ofapproximately two years, the new electronic systems engineering technology curriculum wascreated through a process that involved faculty retreats and multiple cycles of industry feedback.6Throughout the process, an emphasis was placed on ensuring graduates would have the tools andexperiences necessary to be successful in the electronics product and system developmentindustries. This includes design and project management as well as support elements such asapplications development, maintenance and test.

The SAS program targeted specific areas of concern that had been previouslyidentified by researchers, and the results were strikingly positive for those students who weresuccessful in completing the program. Even though the program implemented many of theknown best practices, there was still a large portion of students who dropped from the STEMprogram or who failed to achieve their academic goals. Some part of the attrition can beattributed to the “normal” erosion experienced by all STEM programs as students becomedisenchanted or lose interest and change to a non-STEM major.There is at least anecdotal evidence that a contributing factor to a student’s failure or success canbe attributed to their

engineering professors will often tell a student, “You HAVETO be superior at math to be an engineer.” This statement also implies that you have totake advanced placement math and AP Calculus in high school to succeed in anengineering college. Are these statements really true? And what impact do they have onthe student’s career choice?The authors suggest that it is a myth that students HAVE TO be excellent at math to bean engineer. Clearly math is a very important tool for engineers. All engineers musthave some level of competency at math. However, once students are no longer takingclasses at a university, the amount of math used in engineering positions varies widely.For many B.S. level engineers in the workplace, advanced math is not a regularly

Internships andcooperative opportunities (although the latter are not discussed in this paper) have long beenlauded as a meaningful practice for increasing student retention in computer science andengineering [14]. In fact, some research has found that a single internship experience cansometimes mean the difference between taking a job after graduation or choosing another field[15].
