We hypothesize that this intervention will help support students’ abilities to seethemselves as STEM people (i.e., identity) and support students’ future goals in STEM.The student cohort will be drawn from enrollees in a federally funded program called TalentSearch. Talent search programs have a primary goal of increasing post-secondary schoolattendance among economically disadvantaged students. Our plan is to provide a model forconnecting middle school STEM education and Talent Search program activities to raiseawareness, interest, and the pursuit of STEM Careers. It is expected that this

Words: Process planning, work holding, jigs, fixturesAbstract:Work holding is an important process in machining and requires several months ofintense learning to master it. But knowledge of the process is essential for amanufacturing engineer and therefore should be taught to students in theundergraduate courses. Work holding is an important part in manufacturing planningand is readily affected by the manufacturing process chosen. It influences thematerial-form choice and the number of settings required. In order to educate thisimportant activity to the students an exercise that can demonstrate all these aspectswas needed. This paper describes such an exercise, the machining of the samecomponent where different manufacturing conditions dictated

intermediatestages of development along four “axes:” • physical plant • technical personnel capability • faculty/staff capability, and • governanceEach stage is designed to best support student learning within the constraints of a growthschedule, which is initially an estimate, but is refined as planning proceeds. The principle ofstages is needed to ensure that all four axes advance in a parallel, synchronized fashion thatavoids bottlenecks. Refinement is based on analysis of progress towards the next intermediate stage alongeach axis. The results of the analysis provide the basis for a development plan that addresses thegaps between the current state and the next stage as a set of leadership and managementproducts: long term programs

diversity, equity and inclusion. The lack ofdiversity in engineering contributes to inequitable outcomes due to, in part, the biases that we allhave. Hence, we put forth the idea of education for all at our engineering college as a means tocounter those biases and develop excellent engineers who can contribute to the solutions of oursociety’s big challenges. In our approach, five community teams were established to developproposed plans on DEI education, starting with a focus on race and ethnicity, for all students,faculty, and staff at the college. It was one of the most far-reaching DEI efforts at a college ofengineering. The plans were developed over one year, grounded in the literature around DEI andinput from our community.This lessons learned

Each of the three workshops will have homework completed prior to theworkshop to maximize collaborative work on the specific objectives for each workshop.

A technology that supports theprocess improvements and the evolution of quality inspection plans is the Coordinate MeasuringMachine (CMM). Many companies are adopting such technology due to the high precision andrepeatability of these machines. However, they require specialists for their operation with a newset of skills that combine Metrology, Computer Aided Design (CAD), Geometric Dimensioningand Tolerancing (GD&T), Computer Programming and Problem Solving.The Engineering Technology Department at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley(UTRGV) has created a curriculum that includes the development of such skills and hasequipped its metrology

Rather than having two to three tasks atany given time, the new professor is likely to have eight to ten tasks that need addressing withina given workday. In Reis’s interviews with over 70 faculty members, he found that all werechallenged to find creative ways to manage the large number of tasks on their “plates”, that iscomplete them, do them well, and still find time to sit, think, and plan [1].
