These peer mentors interact with the students, assistingwith CAD designs, design project work, and Make Space projects.The core of EDSGN 100 is the application of engineering design methods through team-baseddesign projects. For the first half of the semester, instructors are provided flexibility in how theyintroduce an engineering design process, whether through a single half-semester project or aseries of “mini” design projects. These design projects should present some ambiguity in theproblem space, requiring that the students

Thedesign projects build the student’s knowledge and understanding of how to locate and discernrelevant technical information from within the standard and apply it to the design problem athand. They utilize the equations, charts, and graphs to ensure that each project is designed to theproper specification. In addition, students hone their skills on using proper technicalterminology, technical writing skills, as well as search and navigation strategies on variousstandards

Drop-in tutoring with graduateassistants as well as peer tutors was organized on both campuses. The attendance at these drop-insessions is tracked for scheduling and assessment purposes.Through review of first year seminars, relevant topics and activities to help students developappropriate learning skills were identified [7-9]. These topics were prepared into a series ofmodules that could be used in a first-year seminar. To add a credit for a mandatory first-yearseminar required a broader overview of the engineering foundations courses (required forsecondary admission into the engineering programs).

While students are introduced to STEM concepts andnotions, there is a stringent need to present them with design principles blended with open-endedproblem-solving approaches faced by engineers in real life applications.The activities presented aimed to tap into the natural curiosities of the young women for inquiry,communication, construction and expression.

well as the type of math coursestaken during the student’s first year. Chen [5] discovered that taking a lighter course load withless challenging math courses while having a poor performance in those courses lead to ahigh chance of switching out of STEM. Another noteworthy result from this study: All other factors being equal, bachelor’s degree STEM entrants who first attended public 4-year institutions had a higher probability of leaving STEM by switching majors than those who started at private nonprofit 4-year institutions. Bachelor’s degree STEM entrants who were male or who came from low-income backgrounds had a higher probability of leaving STEM by dropping out of college than their peers who were female or came from

To answer this question, we sent a survey to all Computer andElectrical Engineering students at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo asking about their experiences withthese types of expenses. Ultimately the survey collected responses from 114 students across theeconomic spectrum, from students facing homelessness due to education costs, to those who donot face financial burdens or the need to work to support their education.Overall some of the results of this paper were promising.

Additionally, students see real-world usageof the topics they have learned in digital electronics classes, particularly logic circuit blocks such asALUs (Arithmetic and Logic Units), registers, and data direction control blocks, etc. High-levellanguages typically do not expose students to the architecture of processors and their atomic actions.There are many concepts and techniques in high-level programming that can only be analyzed andscrutinized by assembly level actions.

For example, it is widely accepted that many engineers believe nontechnicalskills to be easy and subsequently less valuable in the grander scheme of things [10]. A belieflike this could potentially impact the way that an engineering student interacts with a teammatein a nontechnical major like political science or creative writing. By encouraging students tocollaborate with a diverse team in a capstone environment, they are given the chance toexperience interdisciplinary interactions prior to entering the professional world.

Similarly, Trenshaw et al.

After both activities and reports were complete, about two monthsinto the term, students were shown one of the videos during class.
