This paper is a continuationof the progress from the first three years of the Clinical Immersion Program beginning Summer 2014,including changes implemented in Summer 2016 as well as further modifications planned for the 2017Program [1]. Interest in this program has been strong and grows every year demonstrated by the increasein applications to the program from bioengineering students. Feedback from past participants (see section4) support the value of experiential learning which introduces students to clinical end users and teachesstudents valuable industry skill sets previously only available as “on the job training.”The Clinical Immersion summer program provides a valuable opportunity for students to observe

Engineering Alumni DinnerThe Engineering Alumni Dinner is part of an annual event held by the campus Office ofDevelopment. Engineering alumni are invited to the campus to attend presentations by studentsand a catered dinner. Senior design team students, along with groups of students participating inindependent research projects, present the status of their work to solicit feedback and suggestionsfrom the alumni. Typically, students are encouraged to emphasize the unique or
reflective and behavioral implications of survey-taking, the currentstudy investigates open-ended comments that students self-reported at the end of a recentengineering education survey. We gathered our data from the Engineering Majors Survey(EMS), a study of engineering students from a nationally representative sample of 27 U.S.engineering schools. The EMS is intended to follow junior and senior engineeringstudents from their undergraduate education into their career. So far the first (“EMS 1.0”)and second (“EMS 2.0”) waves have been administered, one year apart, with additionalfollow-up surveys planned. The EMS asks a variety of questions about engineeringstudents’ past academic and extracurricular experiences, confidence performing variousskills

Draft application statement(s).Most graduate programs in engineering expect that you will apply 9-12 months in advance of thesemester in which you wish to begin graduate school. Thus, during the fall term of your finalyear of undergraduate studies, you should complete the following tasks: Narrow your list of places to apply; generally 3-8 completed applications is a good goal. Ideally, you will apply to a range of schools (size, location, ranking, etc.) where you can make a strong case that you are a good investment and “fit” for their program.

The client, role-played by the instructor, had afew “meetings” with the students to exchange ideas and elaborate on project requirements.In this pilot implementation, we were interested in the students’ response to the open-endeddesign format. The main assessment tool was the reports written by individual students. Basedon the grading of the report, we aimed to identify common deficiencies and proficiencies so thatwe can improve instructions, guidelines, and/or structure to help improve students’ performanceand learning.The course structure for Spring 2016 semester and Spring 2015

These advisers work with incoming engineering students, starting the summer beforethey arrive, and continuing through their first year. The advisers utilize the Advising-as-Teaching model and collaborate on advising and mentoring students, facilitated by having co-located offices in a suite. Advisers work with each student to collaboratively determine thestudent’s educational goals and develop a path for her to achieve those goals.Each adviser’s primary objectives are to: • Each assist ~100 first-year students with their major selection and academic planning, then serve as a resource throughout their undergraduate careers; • Teach three courses

Some faculty may be apprehensive ofmoving from a familiar cultural environment to the new multicultural environment, or adaptingto a new work environment that may cause frustrations. Despite legislation and organizationalpolicies that attempt to manage and encourage successful engagement, and retain a diverseenvironment, faculty members are still challenged on how to deal with workplace diversityprofessionally. In order to address these challenges, the research addressed cultural awarenessprograms such as cultural

Under the Quality Enhancement Plan, Old Dominion University(ODU) has been regularly offering Improving Disciplinary Writing (IDW) workshops for itsfaculty since 2014. The IDW workshop divides the technical writing process into six steps: pre-writing planning, research, drafting, reviewing, revising, and editing. It also emphasizes fourimportant features of effective writing: role, audience, format, and task (RAFT). This six-steptechnical writing process, along with RAFT, serves as the base for laboratory manual revision. Laboratory manual writing is very different from textbook writing, just as laboratoryinstruction is very different from regular lecture classes. The former has to deal with

Simultaneously, the remainder of the students in the course served as the control group;these students received training on manual machine tools, but they were not provided withvisualizations of the turning process. Process planning for SM operations was introduced to theexperimental group using the software, and these students designed and created multi-partassemblies using the CNC machine tools they were trained to operate. Online assessmentinstruments were developed and deployed using the Qualtrics platform; these assessments weregiven throughout the training procedure to compare the level of understanding of SM processesbetween the students who did and did not receive exposure to the CAM software.BackgroundThe

As part of this plan,the Digital Design Lab course, offered at the sophomore level in the curriculum, implementedseveral strategies to help students build on their previous writing skills, and in the processimproved their technical vocabulary, the ability to communicate using it, increased students’engagement, collaboration, and performance in the course. In this work, the effect of deliberatelyengaging students in their writing skills as a process to learn the content material andcommunicate it

The lower response tothe in-person lecture time as it relates to their future goals is difficult to interpret as the lecturesare designed to prepare the students for the following week’s lab. We plan to evaluate thisdifferently in the future and make adjustments accordingly.Figure 9.

Results of thispart of research led to the delineation and refining of three categories of pedagogical support: (1)College attending support, (2) Program planning and execution support, and (3) Classroom andprogram performance support. These categories led to development and refinement of a collegelevel pedagogical practice taxonomy and inventory which was used in stage two of the researchin which data was collected on 2476 community college students in STEM majors. The intent ofstage two of the research is to determine the role of students’ creativity and propensity ofinnovation had on their persistence and the impact that use of particular pedagogical practiceshad on their persistence, creativity and propensity for innovation in STEM
