The first goalis to graduate the student. The second goal is that they will graduate in good stead with anexcellent set of experiences in addition to the classroom, including internships and researchpositions. A third goal is that the student will go right on to graduate school full-time aftergraduation and earn an engineering or computer science Master’s or Ph.D. degree. Everythingdone in this program is designed to help the student reach these three goals.An Academic Success and Professional Development

HISTORICAL ACCOUNTS The erection of the Colosseum (Fig. 1) was begun by Vespasian in AD 727,3, but he died inAD 79 prior to its completion. When his son Titus dedicated the Colosseum in 80, a year beforehe himself died, the top story was still incomplete11; however, Lanciani4 believed that by thistime, the structure had reached the fifth and topmost floor.

questions beg for input from all areas of thought. Both scienceand the humanities have important things to say about human origins, for example. And solvingthe riddle of human origins appears to be the key to answering many of our biggest questions.Near the middle of the twentieth century, British scientist and novelist C. P. Snow described thedisconnect between science and the humanities in his now famous book, The Two Cultures andthe Scientific Revolution. He wrote that the intellectual life of all of western society is split intothese two cultures (science and the humanities) that have a terrible time trying to communicatewith each other, and that this is a major hindrance in solving the world’s problems.1 The tragedyhere is that humanity needs

We often think of college as being one of the most formative periodsof someone’s life and evidence from research supports this important observation 3. Yet manystudents may graduate from college without ever spending time addressing questions that arecentral to forming a confident sense of self - “Who am I”, “What do I stand for, “Who do I wantto become”, and why?

In response toseeing students in my classes struggle with feeling unprotected and less-than, I formed theEE/CPE Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Project (The Project). The Project’s goals were to givestudents a voice, educate both students and faculty, be visible and to provide services, andactivities. Figure 1 shows events, services, actions and goals.

The non-metropolitan CC often has only asmall engineering/computer science program and is often overlooked by larger schools as arecruitment site. An additional challenge is that the non-metropolitan CC is often many milesaway from the college or university seeking to partner with them.

In order to determine if the “flipped” course actually improved student learning, finalexam scores from the first offering were compared with the final exam scores from the fiveprevious semesters the course was taught by the instructor. For standardization, the final examconsisted of questions taken from the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam. Table 1 shows theaverage scores (out of 100) and standard deviations from the first “flipped” offering as well theprevious offerings from the instructor. As can be seen, the average score was essentiallyunchanged between the two groups going from 82.8 to 82.7. The standard deviations were alsopretty similar in both groups.
