the course experience.In the Fall of 2017, planning began for a refresh of the course and laboratories. New laboratorystations were designed and built. Lecture and laboratory experiments were updated to use theAllen-Bradley PLCs. The stations were first used in January 2018.The new laboratory structure delayed the start of programming topics by a week. In the firstlectures and labs, students used a basic system wiring ladder diagram including safety circuitry.In lab they learned the fundamentals of electrical controls wiring and performed basic wiring forsensors and actuators. This was facilitated by a lab station design where the students began witha rolling cart that had a back panel with DIN rail mounted. (Note: DIN is the acronym for

popularwith the youth, the staff found them more suitable for testing skills or knowledge in acompetitive way rather than questions involving self-reflection. The staff mentioned that animportant value at the center is to support youth work at their own pace. Many of the activitiescompleted by youth are self-directed by design and so if someone needs to take more or less timethey can do that. According to one of the staff, a common moto at DHF is that “we can all learnfrom each other.” This value contrasted with the format of the assessments that requiredeveryone to complete the activities at roughly the same time.Finally, the staff identified logistical challenges that impacted the post-course assessments. DHFcourses are often planned such that the

Introduction and BackgroundGeothermal SystemsA growing source of renewable energy is geothermal heating and cooling. Geothermal power isbased from the heat energy stored underneath the ground, which means that it is 100% renewableenergy.

The students were notified of their placement in the cohort and encouraged to studytogether, but there was no enforcement or expectation to do so. Surveys are planned to gaugemarkers like GPA, change of major, sense of belonging, how much they connected with orcollaborated with their cohort. It is hoped that since this cohort requires minimal intervention orstaff support, this might be a low-cost retention tool.

Five community college students participated in this program in2017 and performed research in the earthquake-engineering field. The internship experienceenabled the interns to realize how trained civil engineers in the field will have to collaborate withother members on their team. Trained civil engineers will need to make weekly meetings withtheir supervisor to discuss their progress on their design and provide feedback on what they canimprove.

For the third and final iteration of the project, we examined the impact ofinterventions aimed at both classroom community and relevancy.Based on the findings of this study and considering the context of the research plan, we have thefollowing concluding observations.

The National Academy ofEngineering [1] as well as various engineering professional societies highlight the importance ofleadership skills in engineering [2-6]. This trend is reinforced by the newly approved ABETCriteria for the 2019-20 review cycle that includes “the ability to function effectively on a teamwhose members together provide leadership … establish goals, plans tasks, and meet objectives”[7]. With these ABET changes come questions about how to assess leadership. Because theconversation among educators on developing leadership in engineering students is growing, thisresearch seeks to
