This fourth objective focuses on each Fellow developing a plan for an Implementation Project that they propose to their own leadership and subsequently launch at their own institution. Examples of these projects include Summer Bridge, Living Learning Communities, mentoring programs, tutoring programs, and transfer pathways of community college students to 4-year programs and undergraduates to graduate school. While these types of programs are not new, the goal has always been for Fellows to scale up their

to answer important questions such as: “Why is thesuccess rate of transfer students low?” and “Why do some transfer students persist to graduation,whereas many others do not?” According to the literature, transfer students fall into two categoriesthat need different kinds of guidance to succeed in a new institution [11], [12]. The first categoryof transfer students includes those who pre-plan the transfer before getting admission into a com-munity college [13], [14], [15], [16]. This category often includes students who choose to takegeneral education courses or earn an associate degree at a community college before transferringto a 4-year institution (often because of the lower cost of tuition). The second category includesstudents who do

One key benefit of empoweringteachers with technological tools is that it can help level the playing field regardingeducational access.Technology can provide new opportunities for students who may need access to specificresources or information. It facilitates students to attend online lectures/webinars and otherlearning resources from any experts (national/international), thus providing learning beyondboundaries. Another benefit is that technology can make learning more engaging andinteractive for students since they are digital natives [Otto and Strimel, 2022].

The tech demo committee was a consistent groupof 4-5 faculty who established requirements for the tech demo and evaluated the team’sperformance during the technical demonstration. The first tech demo helps ensure that studentsorder parts and start assembly (of at least the critical sub-components) of the end product. Onepractical benefit is that delays from out-of-stock parts, inappropriate designs and flawedprocesses are addressed earlier, and thus less likely to delay the project. In addition, new andreplacement parts with long shipping times can often be ordered over winter break, improvingoverall time management. The tech demo emphasizes to students that planning out a design onpaper, and implementing

The two instructors heavily involved students inshaping the design of the course both in the planning process prior to the start of the semester, aswell as through detailed feedback activities during the semester. This paper will explain the goalsof the course and will offer an analysis of student responses to the learning experience--whichwere overwhelmingly positive--based on various feedback mechanisms. Drawing upon theanalysis of these data and on the experience of co-creating and co-teaching this course, we havealso compiled lessons learned about how to design such a course and the most successfultechniques used to achieve desired student outcomes. We conclude with next steps for revisingand expanding these learning experiences

More than forty years later, the humanistic values that haveremained so important to WPI’s general education of engineers have been embraced byschools of business and by engineering programs seeking to develop entrepreneurialengineers. Two of the attributes of an entrepreneurial engineer, as defined by the KernFamily Foundation’s Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN), are essentiallythe qualities found in a well-educated humanist: First, curiosity

Public-facing documents analyzed included outreach information on the universitywebsite about the department and the three majors, transfer plans from state community colleges,graduation/curricular requirements, and plans of study. Internal documents included ABET self-study reports for each of the three programs.
