This paper will present the program design and research results from the first year. Usinga mixed methods approach, we sought to examine the extent to which graduate students’perceptions of communication confidence and awareness of STEM career opportunitiesimproved over the course of the program. We also aimed to measure their communication skillsto different audiences and obtain feedback on the most impactful program components. Dataincluded pre/post-surveys, focus groups, and

For example in electrical/computer programs courses such as controlsystems, electromagnetics, signal processing and communications, students have difficulty withconcepts such as transforms (Fourier, Laplace), bandwidth, signal-to-noise ratio, design ofvarious filters, convolution, and time/frequency domain representations of signals & systems.

The investigative efforts are “proof-of-concept” type. The student-led team designed and built a prototype for a frictionless electromagneticbraking system by installing computer-controlled electromagnets inside a typical drum brake assembly.When the drum rotates and passes through the magnetic field generated by the electromagnets, a Lorentzforce is induced that opposes the rotation of the drum. The electromagnetic brake was compared againststandards for modern vehicle braking performance to determine the feasibility of the frictionless brake’sperformance

ePortfolio. IntroductionThe utility of the singular disciplinary approach in higher education is dwindling, as solutions fortoday’s most complex problems often require multidisciplinary and interdisciplinaryperspectives. For instance, trends within the materials science and engineering fields suggest thatmaterials development is slow to offer viable solutions for the practical needs of advancingtechnology [1]. To address these concerns, the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI), announcedby the White House in 2011, recommended an interdisciplinary approach in engineeringeducation by employing an informatics framework to further enhance materials discovery anddevelopment [1].

IntroductionThe construct of smartness and the field of engineering are inextricably linked. While the publicoften has limited understanding of engineering as a profession [1-3], one central theme is thebelief that engineering, with its emphasis on math and science, is difficult [4, 5]. As with anysocietal narrative, there is a gap between the public perception of engineering as a profession andthe reality of engineering work. For example, we see this in emphasizing the importance of mathand science skills while ignoring key engineering characteristics such as creativity, teamwork,and communication.

In contrast, practicing engineers acknowledgethe importance of social contexts and diverse perspectives in their work ([5]-[9]).

However, the grading strategy inmost traditional BME courses revolves around assigning points to student work based onapparent quality or degree of completion.
