mentoring better support faculty whose identities tend to lead to isolation in STEM;identities include BIPOC faculty [8, 9], women [10], LGBTQ [11-14], and otherunderrepresented individuals. We briefly review the compelling reasons for peermentoring groups and then describe our adaptation of these to a cross-institutional format. Group mentoring approaches can be advantageous for the mentee(s) and cansimultaneously be efficient. A single mentor is unlikely able to provide a wide range ofneeds, experiences, and perspectives for a mentee. The strengths and weaknesses of onementor may complement the weaknesses and strengths of another mentor [15]. Inaddition, available mentors with the ability to dedicate time on a regular basis can be

-opprograms. A significant part of this recruitment process includes evaluating the students in bothterms of the quality of a potential new full-time employee but also to understand if the student isinterested or gaining interest in the type of engineering discipline(s) that a particular companyperforms in the industry [4]. Since recruitment is a significant expense, employers are veryconcerned with yields from the expense and effort devoted to recruitment. Studies from 1984and 2015, both show that employers were satisfied with recruitment goals resulting from co-opprograms [5] [1].Other significant factors that employers want to reduce are employee training costs and turnoverrates. Employer surveys revealed that co-op hires had less training costs

problem was encountered. Before the laboratory, thestudents were asked to not move the desk lamp during the experiment and adjust the distancebetween the desk lamp and the solar cell to approximately 3 inches. However, one or two groupsmoved the desk lamp(s), so their data showed inconsistent performance. A more controlledmethod or illuminating the solar cells will be investigated for future use.Students typically worked in groups of two. All members of the teams were actively engaged,and most groups were able to achieve the objectives outlined in the project. Overall, theexperiment provides students with the desired exposure to the topics associated with solar energyproduction and storage.Conclusions and Future workStudents typically worked in
voltage, DC, RF waves, microwaves, ultra-violetrays, gamma rays, x-rays, etc. Visible examples of ionization would be an electrical arc across anair gap as occurs in an automotive spark plug or electric arc wielder, fluorescent bulb, or neonbulb.Antenna theory – If RF energy is coupled onto a metallic element whose length is a half-wavelength, a dipole antenna is created that can radiate RF energy. By adding an additionalconductor(s), such as a reflector we can enable the antenna to be directional. Examples, includethe Yagi and parabolic dish antennas. Instead of using metallic elements we could use a variousplasma devises to radiate and direct the RF energy. Alexeff et al. [5] creates a “dish antenna”where both the radiating element and
and quantitative feedback indicated that students enjoyedand valued our approach. More importantly, student data suggested our new initiatives helpedstudents develop UD-related skills and knowledge. Our module significantly impacted studentperceptions and value of UD, including increasing their appreciation for considering theseconcepts in engineering design and professional practice.AcknowledgementsThis work was supported in part by a minigrant from DO-IT, Autumn 2018.References1.

injuries with a 13.5 per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers rate [1]. Safety is recognized as an essential part of professionalpractice, and construction education programs take this into account by requiring occupationalsafety classes in their curriculum.Professional accreditation standards include safety as a mandatory part of their student learningoutcomes. For example, the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE) lists “createa construction project safety plan” as one of the higher-level student learning outcomes [2]. Mostconstruction programs address these requirements by creating stand-alone and dedicated coursesaligned with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)’s outreach trainingcontent.
