education andbuild capacity for student success. This project will use a data-driven and evidence-based approachto identify the barriers to the success of underrepresented minority students and to generate newknowledge on the best practices for increasing students’ retention and graduation rates, self-efficacy, professional development, and workforce preparedness. Three objectives underpin thisoverall goal. The first is to develop and implement a Summer Research Internship Programtogether with community college partners. The second is to establish an HSI Engineering SuccessCenter to provide students with academic resources, networking opportunities with industry, andcareer development tools. The third is to develop resources for the professional
presentation requirement. Each student was required to give a final project presentation to the entire research committee, which was comprised of the PI, co-PIs, and senior personnel on the grant. In addition, three students presented a research poster at an institutional showcase for undergraduate research, as shown in Figure 4. • an online, electronic portfolio of their summer experience, using Google Sites, which the students could use as a steppingstone towards fulfilling the GLD E-Portfolio requirement.5.3 Sample E-PortfolioThe impacts of the research program are expressed best from one of the participants.

, given newadvances in cloud-computing and real-time synchronous collaboration, the ability to quicklydigitally prototype unique concepts in CAD has never been easier. Given that new engineeringgraduates are part of the “digital native” generation, anecdotal evidence suggests these designershave a natural inclination and ability for this digital prototyping. Our study seeks to formally testwhether a dichotomy exists between younger designers who are entering the workforce, andolder designers who are veterans in product development, regarding the best-practices in CADusage for conceptual design - “Conceptual CAD”.The paper begins with a critical review of the existing body of literature which advises thedesigner against Conceptual CAD.

The similaritiesbetween the missions of the Libraries and ASEE@SU, both of whom pledge to aid students inachieving success in their academic careers and beyond, and the desire to find the mostsuccessful avenues for connecting with graduate students helped to foster a mutually beneficialrelationship.

successfulproject has been a challenge for these partnerships. Asset Driven Equitable Partnerships – ADEP in Practice (WIP)From Relationships to Partnerships to Equitable Partnerships – Virginia State University (aCore IEC HBCU) and Virginia Tech (an Affiliate IEC PWI) have collaborated with varyinglevels of success for several decades. A Sloan planning grant facilitated the development of anequitable partnership. Their holistic approach: Use an equitable partnership as the vehicle forcreating the equitable pathway to graduate education with a focus in Quantum InformationScience and Engineering (QISE). Historically, PWIs have not prioritized developing equitable,long-term partnerships with HBCUs. PWIs need to learn from HBCUs how to best
underrepresentedstudents by serving as an integral part of a student’s development. Planning and professionalengagement with a mentor can help students to be successful in completing a degree in STEM and thepursuing a graduate degree in STEM. Mentoring can be especially essential for underrepresentedundergraduate students pursuing STEM degrees. Mentoring relationships provide students with apositive environment that can lead to networking opportunities and career opportunities after graduation,but only recently has research been conducted to fully understand the best practices of mentoringrelationships.Based on previous studies conducted, 82.4% reported positive outcomes for mentees.6 Students whohad a mentoring relationship usually had higher retention rates and

However, research on CMstudents' current understanding of infrastructure disparities is limited within the currentliterature. By utilizing the Envision sustainability rating system, instructors may teach studentshow to better understand these concerns and how to address them as engineers. As the nation'sfuture workforce is made up of diverse students, the resolution process should start with them inorder to build equitable, sustainable, and effective infrastructures.To this end, the Envision rating system is briefly described in the following section.The Envision™ Rating SystemThe Envision rating system provides a structured framework to evaluate sustainabilityrequirements for

How do undergraduate and graduate engineering students differ in global competency development in the context of international research experience? The first research question addresses the core of the study's motivation. It seeks to explore thedirect impact of IRiKA. This inquiry is supported by literature highlighting the importance ofinternational experiences in enhancing cross-cultural skills and global awareness in engineeringeducation [6], [25]. This question aims to empirically examine how participation in a structuredinternational program like IRiKA contributes to developing global competencies, which areincreasingly recognized as crucial for engineers in a globalized

While typically, dyadic relationships are defined as two-person interactionsand ratings for human-subject studies, the SRM can be used for other studies where the researchsubjects are animals or organizations, etc. The SRM has wide applications in psychology,economics, education, and other social sciences; and has been reviewed as a canonical way toinvestigate interpersonal relationships data stemming from a round-robin design (e.g., Kenny &La Voie, 1984; Kwan et al., 2008; Lüdtke et al., 2013; Martin, 2013
