While the range and type of learning communities may vary [24, 25], mostlearning communities embody several vital characteristics, including the use of smaller groupsamong faculty and students; the bringing together of faculty and students in more meaningfulways; curriculum integration; emphasis on the development of academic and social supportnetworks; and a focus on learning outcomes [26]. Learning communities help foster increasedstudent engagement, defined by Astin [27] as “the amount of physical and psychological energythat the student devotes to the academic experience” (p. 518).Description of InterventionThis project builds on a previous grant-funded project aimed at small cohorts of

In an effort togenerate interest within the robotic program and from local industries, the Department ofEngineering Technology at Drexel University responded to strength its curriculum by adding newinnovative components in its robotics and automation course, such as machine vision. A keycomponent in the robotics and automation course is the hands-on experience where student teamsuse and apply the vision systems hardware and software in an automated work-cell. In addition,the students are taught the principles of vision integration with other control devices, such as robotsand Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs).

During departmentfaculty meetings the proposed minor degree, Marine Construction (MC) minor, was announcedand an unofficial vote was taken to determine the faculty’s opinion. Once the proposed minorwas approved within the department, an official “academic minor proposal” was submitted to theUniversity’s “Curriculum Committee” and “All University Committee” for consideration andapproval.A critical step in the developing the academic minor is establishing the Program EducationalObjectives (PEOs) and the course outcomes.

Transfer readiness is impacted by counseling,advice from students and faculty, and an understanding of the academic requirements of thenew institution [11].
