students, the goal of this series of outreach activities was to inspire their careerawareness of engineering. Approximately sixty students all around the age of seven participatedin this event. All of them had some STEM experience through their participation in math andscience classes. Local students do not yet have solid career plans until the ninth grade, but most ofthe students involved in this outreach activity had an interest in engineering. There were sixactivities in the rotation: gum drop towers, popsicle stick structures, paper gliders, catapults,Legos, and homemade slime; each of these activities were associated with different tasks toaccomplish. To ensure students’ exposure to various aspects of AM projects and jobs, all thestudents had

To help all students develop the skills necessary to attract, retain,and consider the needs of diverse populations, engineering students need to consider socialresponsibility in the context of their engineering careers and scope of practice [6].To help promote engineering students’ ability to develop their social responsibility capacity, theUniversity of Massachusetts Lowell S-STEM program began with an initial plan to recruit threecohorts of 8 low-income, high-achieving students (24 students total) who wish to pursue a careerin higher education (e.g., faculty at community colleges or universities) and engage them inongoing social responsibility and identity formation curriculum.

We also plan to host annual full-day Datastormevents, which should provide visibility and outreach opportunities to other undergraduate studentsat our institution as well as highlight the relevance of the Computer Science program to thegeneral public.IntroductionComputer Science and computing based majors in general suffer from a variety of issues at theuniversity level.One of those issues is high drop out rates. The level of attrition in Computer Science is reportedto be between 9.8% [1] and 28% [2]. This represents both a direct loss in terms of students notcompleting the major as well as an indirect loss in terms of students not encouraged to pursue itbecause of a perceived difficulty given its high withdrawal rates.Figure

The students rated themselves1-5 on the post survey, 5 being “great gain” and 1 being “little gain”, on questions divided intothree categories: accessibility, skill development, and career awareness. The scores for eachquestion within each category were averaged to form a composite score from which conclusionswere drawn. Questions in the accessibility category related to the confidence of studentscompleting a research project, the level of comfort developing and discussing research projects,and their feelings of belonging in STEM. Questions in the skills category related more to thespecific skills that will be valuable to their pursuit of a STEM career, including project planning,data analysis, lab techniques

Therecord for the cheapest bridge is $164,000 and the record for the most physical load held beforefailure is 141.5 pounds. The in-class presentations are exciting because students get to reveal theirfinal cost. The in-class testing is even more exciting because the students in each group get handson experience to test their own bridge to failure. Overall, the bridge design project, through the learning community, has been verysuccessful in engaging engineering students early on in their curriculum.
