The project implements a suite of community- building activities designed to improve scholars’ self-efficacy and develop computing identity. Sami also co-directed a project that developed system support and user-driven strategies for improving energy effi- ciency in residential buildings. Sami has served in a number of service roles at USF and in her professional community. She was chair of the Computer Science department at USF from 2013-2016. She also served on the editorial board of Sigmobile’s GetMobile Magazine from 2014-2018. She has been involved with the discipline-specific

Second,we intend to expand our sources of data to include students as participants in our study. Webelieve this is important for the triangulation of our data. Hence, we intend to interview studentsto understand how they perceive the study abroad program’s marketing materials.References[1] S. Jorgenson and L.

ProgramsWhile literature examining the term “onboarding” specifically is limited within higher education,programs designed to support newly admitted students are commonly described in first-yearexperience literature [20]. These programs are meant to support students’ transition into collegeand have been around since as early as the 1600’s. In fact, Harvard College implemented anorientation program that connected new students with current students in 1636 [21]. The firstonboarding programs were primarily designed to support the transition of new students into post-secondary education. Today’s onboard programs vary among institutions, but it is common tosee one- or two-day orientation programs, first-year seminars, welcome weeks, and commonbook reading

emerged [1].As technology advanced and grew, society’s problems and needs became more complex andspecialization areas became more specific, allowing more engineering disciplines to take shape.Examples of engineering disciplines taking shape more recently in the past few decades includeusability engineering [5], web engineering [6], and mechatronics [7]. In some cases, additionaland more specific disciplines are considered ‘branches’ or ‘sub-disciplines’ of the ‘original’disciplines that many consider to be the primary engineering disciplines: civil, mechanical,electrical, and chemical [8]. For example, in Dixit et al.’s [3] book describing the history ofmechanical engineering, he also explains production engineering, industrial engineering

the ADVANCE program, although strides have been made at the undergraduatelevel, yet the number of M.S. and Ph.D.’s awarded to underrepresented groups has not increasedappreciably since the mid 1990s [3], [4]. For instance, between 1997 and 2017, the number ofHispanic undergraduates grew from 14% to 24% whereas Hispanic faculty only increased from3% to 5% during the same time frame [5]. Zellers et al. [6] reported in 2008 that less than 10%of the full professors in sciences were women and only 3% of assistant and associate professorswere African American.There were 12,156 doctoral degrees were awarded with Native Americans earning 0.3% of thePh.D.’s, Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders 0.6%, African Americans 4.2%, Hispanics 6% and women23.6% in 2018

In summary, this work-in-progress paper presents a survey that measures a range ofoutcomes to assess the impact of a first-year engineering design course. By surveying thestudents at the beginning and end of the semester, positive changes in student self-efficacy andstudents’ perceptions of their skills are measured.References[1] A.

What are the experiences of students who worked collaboratively on the take-hometest? How likely are students to seek help on this assessment? And where are they getting thissupport? By examining these questions and offering opportunities for students to share theirreasoning for opting in or out of the take-home tests, we will have a broader understanding oftheir decision-making and explore connections between critical thinking and collaboration.Bibliography 1.

This was a result of industry feeling that engineeringgraduates were inadequately prepared for the practice of engineering. Response from thesepioneers developed what has become known as capstone courses or programs. These programsbrought open ended design problems and often industrially

These faculty members either worked as private consultants orworked with an engineering firm. The highest degree these faculty members possessed mayhave only been a master of science or master of engineering.

It was also made clear which process alternative(s) were viable, if any (Outcomes 1 and 4). f) The proposal was written in a logical format.
