The challenge is introduced to freshmen at the college orientation, which draws agreater number of students than the previously mentioned programs. Typically over 100incoming engineering freshmen, participate in the college orientation so the program is offered toover half of the incoming freshmen.Research has shown that combinations of programs for first year freshmen such as learningcommunities, peer and faculty mentoring, introductory courses, and team projects.1 have positiveeffects on retention.

AmbassadorsSummary and Introduction To solve today’s engineering challenges, we need a wide range of solutions, which can berealized only by having enough engineers with diverse and strong technical backgrounds.Workforce studies have shown that the number of students being educated in STEM (science,technology, engineering, and math) cannot meet projected demands [1]. Also, the currentenrollments in engineering are not diverse, especially among women, blacks, and Hispanics [2].On another issue, a recent survey of engineers in industry indicates a compelling need forengineers to have strong communication skills [3]. Addressing these challenges is the Engineering Ambassador Network: a network ofprofessional development programs for undergraduate

Engineering Ethics

work explores engineering ethics empirically in a “developing world” context through aframework of care ethics. Care ethics, a.k.a., the ethic(s) of care, is particularly suitable for the“developing world” context because it helps draw attention to imbalances of power (e.g.,inequality, differential opportunity, and limitations on autonomy) that are often neglected byother ethical frameworks. In this work, we selected one element of care ethics (responsibility)and operationalized it in several ways: the language of responsibility; notions of paternalism; andawareness of key, influencing stakeholders. These lenses were developed and refined iterativelyby employing them in case study analyses of two design project reports written by teams

 Abstract: Undergraduate (UG) research is an important component of today’s engineeringeducation. Research experiences allow students to explore beyond the classroom by applyingconcepts towards scientific discovery and the development of products and technologies thatimpact society. The number of UG engineering students interested in participating in research isincreasing. However, UG research opportunities are often limited to students finding a project,laboratory, and mentor on their own. Therefore, only a handful of students typically benefit froma mentored UG research experience. In addition, students seeking UG research opportunities andprojects have little, if any, knowledge on how to conduct research. A well-structured, guided
