differencesbetween transfer student experiences within the same institution, particularly between verticaland lateral transfer students. These results indicate that institutions cannot view all transferstudents as having the same experience or requiring the same support. Fostering a welcomingculture, helping students build networks, providing access to institutional agents, and ensuringeasily accessible information are all ways that institutions can begin to improve the transferexperience.AcknowledgementsThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.1428502.

faculty members in the Department wanted to follow suit, and began their search for theright type of practitioners, to enrich the academic process by bringing the practice into the classroom. After Foundation Engineering was over, and the final course grade was out, a“questionnaire” was sent to those who enrolled in the class seeking their opinions, evaluations,and any comment(s) they may wish to offer. Twenty six out of a total of 30 students returned the“questionnaire” on time! The opinions expressed and comments made were, by and large,positive to say the least. After regrouping, and rephrasing to correct the English language; thecomments offered by the ex- students, could be summarized as follows: The adjunct was easy to approach

BME Assessment Committee Evaluation, Results and DiscussionThe department’s Assessment Committee annually evaluates ABET Student Outcomeperformance from the prior year’s spring design course teams (BME 201, 301 and 400-402)using the team’s final report(s) and peer-evaluations. In brief, the Committee first calibrates itselfusing a randomly selected senior team by discussing any discrepancies in scores and theassessment process itself. Following the calibration exercise, the Committee Chair assignsreviewers to a random sampling of projects. At least two reviewers assess each project’sreport(s) and peer evaluations to the expectation of graduating seniors for all levels. In 2010, weestablished a rubric

We have to learn to listen, to understand things deeply and from multiple perspectives, and then approach the problem with all these things in mind. 7Another student expressed similar sentiments about the need for empathy and perspective takingfor engineering to have positive impacts: Engineers need to be more than tech-smart, we need to be able to empathize and connect with the world, see it for what it truly is and

-term projects than a single semester or year would permit. This allows faculty to take on more ambitious projects; it gives new students experience in coming up to speed on an existing project - as they'll inevitably need to do in a future workplace; and, it gives returning students leadership experience, as they help on-board and organize the activities of new members. 3. The program is curricular and all participating students are graded (A-F; not P/F or S/U). VIP is not an extra- or co-curricular activity. It is a sequence of courses whose credits count towards students' degree requirements. Letter grading holds students accountable for their work. In many ways
possiblethat the unconventional operating system could expose a SCADA system to undocumentedvulnerabilities and exploits. The PanelView HMI is configured with the FactoryTalk View Studiosoftware and has SCADA features configured for data acquisition and control of an Allen BradleyMicrologix 1000 PLC through an RS-232 serial connection. The communications configurationfor this HMI application is unique because it allows for assessments of a SCADA system wherethe PLC is wired through a serial connection opposed to Ethernet.Summary of Student InvolvementThis project started with the announcement of Enhancing Undergraduate Research Experiences &Creative Activities (EURECA)’s Faculty and Student Team (FAST) project/grant announcementswhere
