Tiers I and II have math ACT scores of 24 or below or math RSATscores of 580 or below and start in Fundamentals of Mathematics (Tier I) or College Algebra(Tier II). Those with higher ACT or RSAT math scores are designated as Tier III and start in pre-calculus (or above if they have AP or transfer credits). To recruit for the S-STEM, students wereasked to fill out an application that included the four essay questions listed in Table 1, aiming toget a large number of students applying from Tiers I and II.

Learned: College Student Surveys as a Professional Development ToolIntroductionThe development and adoption of student evaluation of teaching (SET) were first recorded in the1920s [1] [2]. Since then, many proponents have researched the practice and suggested ways ofimplementing SETs to improve instruction. Student evaluations of teaching have mostly beenstandardized and accepted as a regular practice of assessing teaching effectiveness in mostcolleges, including my university. SETs have standard features that are described by Sproule [3]. 1. The SET is a survey about course content and teaching effectiveness with open-ended and close-ended questions. 2. The closed-ended questions present a scale of possible values

However, within the context of engineering education, there is no shared vocabularyfor discussing the impact of research or a framework that characterizes the impact of federalinvestments in undergraduate engineering education research [1].” Brewer also cites the lack ofshared definitions, particularly related to who is impacted by the research [2]. For these reasons,our work to improve impact statements started with a focus on meanings and language in impactstatements. Specifically, impact statements can be useful to National Science Foundation (NSF)program officers who are often in the position of informing about and advocating for the projectsunder their management.

implications of their future work is an extremely important topic. There are many pitfallswith the traditional large lecture format in which ethics is taught to engineering freshmen. It istaught as an abstract philosophical topic, rather than an act of personal decision making situatedin the nuances of complex real-world contexts [1]. Often, engineering ethics instruction is taughtby a philosophy professor rather than an engineer. It is usually included late in the undergraduatecurriculum, such as during a senior capstone project, and is a relatively short subtopic (module)within a larger array of engineering content. As a result, students often do not see ethics as equallyimportant as other topics. They do not see it consistently integrated

While the lecture component covers thetheoretical concepts and derivations using diagrams and simplified drawings, laboratorydemonstrations are known to improve students’ understanding of the concepts through observationand experimentation [1]-[2]. Nevertheless, traditional modes of course delivery leave a gapbetween classroom depictions of idealized structural diagrams and a first-hand experience andperception of the structural members and their load-deformation behavior. This gap can result inreduced understanding of the physical phenomena and can be an obstacle to structural mechanicseducation and learning [3]-[6].An example of classroom drawings of deformation behavior of a simple cantilever beam is shownin

A virtual simulation can serve as a good learning tool for operating a real CNCmachine. That way anyone could learn the process of using a machine such as this without thesafety hazards that could happen if certain precautions are not taken. A virtual CNC machine wouldhelp students with learning how to operate a physical machine in practice. Not only is thesimulation safer to learn, but it is more engaging. Allowing students to have interaction with themachine will vastly improve the learning
