short study abroad course, called GO GREEN, on sustainable practices inbusinesses, industries and municipalities in Germany for the past 15 years. Over 150 studentshave participated in the course since its inception in 2003. A survey was conducted to determinewhat these students had ascertained from the course and to see if any of these students wereusing the skills acquired in this class in their work or daily lives. The survey, consisting of 23questions, was designed to determine how students have used the interdisciplinary subject matterof sustainability in their lives and careers after taking the course, as well as, questions about keyelements of the course. Some of the results of the survey will be discussed in thispaper

support from A Scholarship Program to Increase Retention in Engineering (ASPIRE):Improving Work-Study-Life Balance. The goal of the program was to increase retention ofsophomore and junior engineering students who show academic promise but are at risk of notcompleting their studies due to financial concerns and/or life-work-study balance issues. Inaddition to financial support, ASPIRE provided scholarship recipients with opportunities toparticipate in activities that contribute to persistence such as tutoring, faculty mentoring,conferences, presentations and career planning workshops. Sixty-one students have beenawarded scholarships in this five-year period.This paper examines the effectiveness of ASPIRE to help students alleviate financial

Manufacturing Institute note that the U.S. faces a need fornearly 3.5 million manufacturing jobs over the next decade due to baby boomer retirement. Twomillion of these jobs are likely to go unfilled, largely because young people do not view theindustry as a career destination [9].In addition, a recent national survey showed a decline in the number of undergraduate studentsmoving on to graduate school after graduation [10]. The Council of Graduate Schools has notedthat the U.S. must continue to develop highly skilled human talent through graduate school tomaintain its leadership role in global innovation and discovery [11].In addition to NSF, other federal agencies such as NASA [12], Department of Energy [13],Department of Homeland Security [14], and

, 2015 An Approach to Teaching People Skills in Senior Design Project Courses Introduction The premise of this paper is that most engineering students are ill-prepared for the demands their careers will place on them to interact with other people one-on-one, within teams, and within organizations—organizations that are often global in character. The senior design project provides an opportunity (literally a last chance) for graduating seniors to recognize and develop people skills needed for success. Because the project is intended to simulate real engineering practice, the faculty member can observe each student’s people skill level in project context and at a minimum provide insights and coaching to each student in order to improve those

However, a mentoring relationship is widely accepted toenhance career and personal development of the mentee.
