The findings will lead to the development of a complete databaseof American academic policy information that shall be available in the future for otherresearchers to use for academic purposes. By connecting this information to a database likeMIDFIELD, researchers can identify how the graduation rates, retention rates, studentdemographics and other data collected by MIDFIELD is affected by the changes in institutions’academic policies. In this project, we highlight academic policies based on two different aspects:matriculation models and good standing policies among institutions

This paper summarizes preliminary results from the firstyear of the three-year project, Strengthening the STEM Pipeline for Elementary School AfricanAmericans, Hispanics, and Girls by Scaling Up Summer Engineering Experiences. Findingsfrom this research suggest that over the course of the SEEK program students showed increasesin their conceptual knowledge (i.e., math, science, and engineering) as well as their attitudestowards these disciplines

Physical models (e.g.,prototypes) are the most common type of models that engineering students identify and discussduring the design process. There is a need to explicitly focus on varying types of models, modelapplication, and model development in the engineering curriculum, especially on mathematicaland computational models.This NSF project proposes two approaches to creating a holistic modeling environment forlearning at two universities. These universities require different levels of revision to the existingfirst-year engineering courses or programs. The proposed

For a mentee to feel positive about their field,the mentee’s perception of the relationship with the mentor is significant. Prunuske et. al. [30]determined that mentees’ confidence improved when they actively participated in researchprojects and acquired “the skills necessary for professional socialization.” They also determinedthat the personality of the mentor was more significant than the research project. In addition, thementees wanted mentors who would communicate and engage with them. When studying

Engineers employ technical writing with the goals of being accurate, brief, clear,and easy to understand. Engineers use many forms of written communication: on the job, theycompose technical memoranda, project reports, and proposals for new business; while ingraduate programs, they may assist professors with technical reports and publishable articles,while individually writing their thesis or dissertation.

For those engineers with more than one interview, the interviewsconsisted of learning about the engineer’s current work projects, work environment and closecolleagues; and assessing the engineer’s attitude about his/her work activity and workplace socialenvironment.The analysis was conducted in several steps. First, the interviews were professionally transcribedand then thematically coded by Vinson.
