marginalized groups continue to pursue graduate education. In Golde’s work on socialization in graduate school, the first year of doctoral education isbroken into four tasks of transition. The first is intellectual mastery, in which a student completescoursework in their field. The second task is learning how graduate school operates and whatthey should expect from their life in graduate school as a student. Similarly, the third task isdescribed as learning how their projected profession works and determining how they feel aboutmoving in this direction post-graduation. Finally, the fourth task is integrating themselves intothe department and their cohort [1]. The program described in this work is designed to primarilyassist students with this

Some of Dr. Bandyopadhyay’s current projects at TAMU include forecasting of residential electricity demand, occupant-centric building design and control, long-term performance of ground source heat pump systems, and implementation of Bloom’s taxonomy-based assessments in undergraduate me- chanical engineering courses. In addition to academic research and teaching, she is heavily involved in mentoring graduate students and first-generation undergraduate students in engineering disciplines within and beyond TAMU.Dr. Haejune Kim, Texas A&M University Haejune Kim EDUCATION Ph.

critical reflection of the learner on the experience. Unlessembedded within a course as a service-learning activity (e.g. [13]), there may not be structuredreflection. This is particularly true in co-curricular activities, where advisors may worry thatformal reflection would deter college students from participating. However, the reflection couldoccur informally via a group discussion.Giles and Eyler [11] cite Dewey’s [12] four criteria for projects to be truly educative. The fourcriteria are: generate interest, worthwhile intrinsically, problems that demand new information,and cover a considerable time span. K-12 activities are often designed to be fun, so they arelikely to generate interest on behalf of both the college student and K-12 kids

However,achieving a “net-zero energy building” concept for existing buildings has its challenges in anurban environment where private and/or public space around the building considered is limited,in addition to the inherent energy challenges associated with urban multi-story buildings. Whilethe most achievable task would be energy efficiency improvements in the operation of thebuilding

Counselors receivemany of the same benefits as camp participants, as they also attend the tours and mentor visits.Instructors for the high school offering of the summer program are primarily faculty membersfrom five disciplines: Civil Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, ComputerEngineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Faculty prepare workshops with projects, typicallyincluding a design challenge, that introduce camp participants to each discipline. The faculty-ledworkshops generally last 3 to 8 hours, depending on the complexity of the project. Largerprojects are completed in a series of shorter sessions to maintain participant interest andengagement. As the

The project of liberation is the project of daring to imagine.IntroductionTeaching takes place in a physical space with configured interactions of the instructor with thestudents. The traditional mode of education presupposes the instructor as an authority“depositing” knowledge into the “clean-slates” (students’ minds), who in turn regurgitate thatdeposited (memorized) knowledge in assessments. This is described as the banking concept ofeducation by Freire [1]. This model discourages creative engagement of the student with theworld and encourages uncritical acceptance of the oppressive power structures. This process
