semester of 2017, an official partnership between the RCSC and theEngineering and Science Projects in Community Service (EPICS@mines) program at the SouthDakota School of Mines and Technology (SD Mines) was formed to help the RCSC meet thisgoal. The EPICS@mines program allows students to earn course credits for partnering with thecommittee to investigate, monitor, and plan an initiative for improving the energy efficiency ofcity buildings to meet Energy Star Building Certification. The creation of the student designteam has had a positive impact on students and the community and it has led to the developmentof unanticipated partnerships in the community.IntroductionTown and gown relations have long been considered important to the success of a

,this program is engineering discipline specific, open only to incoming students enrolled in thefall semester, and it is closely tied to the first engineering course offered at the university. Bootcamps at University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) and University of Washington (UW)are similar, but they focus on Math and Writing or Science and Math respectively [15], [16],which means that students will not necessarily meet others in their major.All incoming freshmen engineering students are encouraged to apply to E-FIT, which is designedto suit students of all ability levels. Currently, there is space for 132 students (approximately20% of incoming engineering students) to participate, but the program plans to be available to allincoming

This also enables students to learn the tools of the software, become familiar witharchitectural and construction methods, and understand details employed in the design andconstruction of residential buildings. The first project is in the format of a tutorial where studentswork on constructing a single family residence which comprises of a basement, first floor, andsecond floor. Students are also to interior design the kitchen, bathroom, and office on the secondfloor. The second project consists of the plan and design of a single floor for a single

In this paper, we describe the founding of our new department and describe theinstitutional context that made it possible.

As the field of engineering education researchgrows, more opportunities arise to examine what happens between the declaration of a major andthe planned graduation date that prompts so many students to exit the field. Much researchdiscusses how and why students initially choose a major (e.g., [1],[6]), but further discussion ofwhat happens between major declaration and planned graduation date is lacking in the existingliterature.Major selection is the focus of a large body of research involving higher education (e.g. [1], [2],[7], [8]).

Planning involves actions taken to help the learnerplan out their learning and cognitive tasks. Planning encompasses everything from gatheringappropriate resources to creating a time schedule for learning to the selection of a specificenvironment used for learning. Monitoring involves all actions that are used to determine if thecognitive task engaged in is on track to meet the intended goal. Monitoring can involve (but isnot limited to) checking progress on a particular task, checking understanding on a particularconcept, and checking that the procedure currently being used will reach the intended outcome.When a monitoring
