from underrepresented communities continues to be achallenge. One of the ways stakeholders are addressing this challenge is by developing youthout-of-school programs to pique interests in STEM fields (Valla & Williams, 2012).With the amplification of national interest in attracting underrepresented youth to STEM fields,the presence of out-of-school programs aimed at attracting these students has grown (Perna,2002). Building on more than 10 years of experience conducting SEEK camps in cities across theUnited States, NSBE has planned and implemented more than 16 camp sites with plans toexpand over the course of the next few years. NSBE led the expansion process through theselection of site locations, fundraising, hiring site leaders and

By describing in detail ourprocess, we aim to provide a flexible guide by which other units might adapt and develop similarprograms to help faculty enhance their teaching. We show that program success—as far as wecan see it in these early stages—is characterized by a focus on understanding stakeholder—especially instructor—needs around teaching, embracing a process that distributes power andleadership throughout planning and decision-making, investing organizational support throughtime and money, and assessing progress and goals regularly.To do this, we first situate our peer review of teaching program within the broader context of ourdepartment’s formation and existing models for evaluation of teaching.

Intentions are a critical predictor of any planned behavior, includingentrepreneurship6. Intentions can explain and predict how alumni see opportunities that may leadto business ideas that may eventually be brought to market. Entrepreneurial intention, incombination with both situational and individual variables, possibly can explain and predictentrepreneurial patterns among engineering alumni.

The level of attrition in Computer Science is reportedto be between 9.8% [1] and 28% [2]. This represents both a direct loss in terms of students notcompleting the major as well as an indirect loss in terms of students not encouraged to pursue itbecause of a perceived difficulty given its high withdrawal rates.Figure
