Scholars in Engineering: Promoting Student Success through Cohort-Building and Industrial EngagementIntroductionThe National Science Foundation (NSF) Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering andMathematics (S-STEM) program provides grants to institutions of higher education to supportscholarships for academically well-prepared undergraduate students with demonstrated financialneed. The goal of the program is to contribute to the number of well-prepared scientists andengineers in the workforce by increasing the number of students with financial need who enterthe STEM workforce after completing a degree program in science or engineering1,2.In spring 2012, we received an S-STEM grant to establish the “CLEAR Scholars in Engineering

parameter sweep could be performed in any number of software packages, including Matlab or a PSPICE variant. What distinguishes Maple and MapleSim from these other programs is the ability to generate the underlying equations of the system. This is a critically important feature. MapleSim contains an “attach equation” option which populates a Maple worksheet with live interactive hooks to the MapleSim file. Three equations are created by the worksheet which describe the mathematical rules governing the system: ⎧ D _ Goff D _ off (t) ⎫ Vbatt − OutputVolt(t) − D _ s(t)⋅ ⎨ ⎬ − D _ Goff ⋅ D _VKnee = 0

The air velocity in the wind tunnel is gradually increased from 1 m/s toabout 15m/s in steps. After each increase of the airflow velocity, some particles areremoved, and a picture of the particles still on the test section is taken. By counting the Page 24.969.5number of particles of different sizes remaining on the test section, the critical shear 4velocity for detachment of different size particles are measured.

engineering education.A framework for thinking about elements of reflectionReflection on experience can be framed as an intentional and dialectical thinking process wherean individual revisits features of an experience with which he/she is aware and uses one or morelenses in order to assign meaning(s) to the experience that can guide future action (and thusfuture experience). We can use pathways of reflection to delineate combinations of theseelements. In this section, we unpack the elements of this framing (i.e., experience, lens, meaning, Page 24.776.2action, intentional, and dialectical) of reflection and then illustrate the ideas through a
