ensure timely stipend payments to the undergraduateparticipants. PIs planning such programs in the future should work through such details ahead oftime to ensure no payment delays. This is particularly important for first generation or lowerincome students who may be depending on timely payments to cover living expenses. Our granthad also budgeted funds for on-campus housing at OU, as well as a meal allowance for allstudent participants. Since the students were working remotely, we converted those payments todirect payments to the students to help cover some of their housing and living expenses.Additional logistical issues included creating OU computer accounts and providing VPN accessahead of time for each student participant so they could
differences in major selection.However, Morgan, Gelbgiser, and Weeden’s (2013) research identified the occupationalplans of high school seniors as strong predictors of initial college major selection. Theauthors also found the association between occupational plans and college majorselection is not attributable to work–family orientation or academic preparation. Theresearch pointed to the importance of occupational plans formed in adolescence forunderstanding the gender differences in college major and for policies intended to createa workforce that is representative and rewarding for both genders in all areas of STEM.Design of the studyTo design the research survey, four previous studies and associated surveys wereconsulted: Kuechler & Simkin
five times. Rotation consumes somewhat less energy than linear motion because theformer requires a light load on each of four wheel motors but the latter draws much larger powerlevels on only two motors at a time. The engineer team realized that success would breed greaterrequirements. They therefore used a test case of maximum forward acceleration for 20 yards,then immediate maximum reverse acceleration for 20 yards, returning to the start point. Thiswas repeated for 15 minutes without pause. Though this is more than is possible while band isperforming, it serves as a realizable worst case for this year's planned marching bandcoreography. The batteries were then selected and configured to meet this challenge.The system passed this power and

other students they can work with. One of the authors has experimented withmorning office hours in the library in the past, but they were not significantly better attendedthan normal office hours. One to two students a week visit normal office hours compared to fiveto twenty each session in public office hours. Several students used these times as a study hall,and we were able to help them form study groups. This year, we expanded public office hours totwo afternoons and one evening a week. We spent six hours per week in the library, helpingstudents most of that time. Office hours were well received and helpful; however, it led to somefaculty burnout late in the semester. In the future, we plan to spend less time in public officehours (probably

Entrepreneurship is the processof finding a need in the market, developing a creative solution or product to fill that need, andmarketing it with the goal of developing a successful business. The entrepreneurship process isdivided into five phases: idea generation, opportunity evaluation, planning, company formationand growth. Entrepreneurship is about recognizing opportunities in the market and acting onthem. It requires to think creatively, to innovate, and to move from an idea into a prototype.The elevator pitch competition was developed within the context of a first-year engineeringseminar.

Studentsgenerally felt that understanding the concept of limit was important, as shown in their responsesto question 1. They also felt that learning the topic using visual examples (question 2), hands-onactivities (question 3), and in-class exercises (questions 4 and 5) was important, while thegeneral opinions on learning through methods such as traditional presentations (question 7) andreading the relevant textbook material (question 8) were more mixed. We plan to present theexamples to a larger group of students, and their feedback will be assessed using more rigorous,formative, and summative assessments

Each IRB stationwas initially built using custom worktables designed to efficiently hold everything required forthe station and provide a flexible space for lab activities. The initial renovation plan was toreplace the IRB with the CRB, leaving the remaining workstation as-is. However, while theCRB’s work envelope and payload are similar to the IRB, it was determined that importantergonomic factors had been overlooked. The CRB relies on tactile action buttons for jogging andcontrol at the robot's "head" (Fig. 3). This would likely cause most users difficulty in controllingthe robot during activities such as lead-through teaching and jogging, as the necessary controlswould be out

need forindividuals with STEM degrees has led to large growth in STEM undergraduate studentnumbers. Post-recession STEM degrees awarded have increased by 43% from 2010 to 2019 [2].This need for STEM degrees is reflected in the strategic plan for the College of Engineering atthe University of Kentucky with a goal of adding nearly 43% more students to the Collegebetween 2019 and 2025. The success of transfer students through thoughtful and intentionaltransfer pathways is one way to diversify reach and obtain enrollment targets of the Universityand meet STEM occupational demand.The growth and need for STEM majors are well documented. This growth has not necessarilybeen experienced by underrepresented groups in STEM majors. Despite an increase in
