Establish a Polymer Materials Design Scholars Program (PolyMDSP) to involve students at the campuses in remote computational work during the year, in addition to summer research at UP. 3. Develop a data-driven Leadership, Management and Teaching (LMT) program that supports students in professional and career development.The focus of this paper is on the second point listed above, the Polymer Materials Design ScholarsProgram, which would involve students from the university’s many campuses to engage in aremote research experience.

The achievement gap begins in the lower-division math and physics courses, which areprerequisites for engineering courses.

Calculus I and Calculus II yielded the highest values with averagerepetition rates of 36% and 45%, respectively. Repetition of these courses will delay students'graduation and potentially discourage first-year students from pursuing STEM careers. Figure

The program’s goal has been to provide a quality program thatmeets accreditation standards while providing the students with a skill set that allows them tosucceed in computing careers. The curriculum content for the Computer Science degree is basedon the 2001 ACM Curriculum Report. The Computer Science degree at UVU was accredited byAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) in 2002 and currently has morethan 1,200 students.

at this university, there are two required courses for all MS students, and thenthe remaining eight courses are selected by the student’s graduate committee chair along with thestudent. This structure allows for highly customizable plans of study for students, and allows themto develop discipline specific knowledge that support their future career goals. The difficulty isthat the levels of proficiency that may be determined through course-level data is ratherproblematic to assess. For instance, a course may consist of 20 students, each of whom is in his orher first semester, second, third or final semester. While it is possible to track individual studentsseparately, that approach may require some effort on the part of faculty and may

social media and other technology? Although the global pandemic made the transition towards remote learning unavoidable, it isworth noting that leaders in engineering education had already been shifting towards a blend of in-person and online teaching components, to provide interactive, hands-on, multidisciplinary, andproblem-based learning in a cost-effective, easily scalable, and personalized manner that preparesstudents for their future careers in an increasingly digital era [6]. Inspired by this innovative approach, we propose to develop a set of interactive onlinematerials science lectures to promote student engagement and experiential learning.

the development of educational laboratories and how changes have been incorporatedthroughout the years. The use of laboratory as part of the engineering curriculum can trace itsroots to the training of military engineers, combining theory with lots of practice. FollowingWorld War II, the ASEE Grinter report noted that the engineers being produced were toopractically oriented and were not sufficiently trained to seek solutions by referring to firstprinciples. While engineering programs became more theoretical after World War II, a balancewas struck in engineering curricula to include laboratories in an effort to ensure that thegraduating engineers were prepared for their industrial careers. More recently, there have beensignificant

In addition, taking a lead in the public domain by seeking to influence public policy positively. Critically, the report calls for engineers to be informed leaders in sustainable development. Moreover, it notes that this influence “should begin in our educational institutions, and be founded in the basic tenets of the engineering profession and its actions”.

This involved extensive review of the courses offered in the respectiveprograms at both institutions and the creation of a matrix of courses showing which coursescould substitute for each other and precisely when these courses would be offered. During theprocess of creating such a matrix it was also decided that research projects were always a goodmeans of enhancing the overall student experience and would be handled on a case-by-casebasis.Finally, a long-term goal of the collaboration between the UW-Stout and the h_da is a truefaculty exchange program.

In such tools, learners are taught about the data structures,loops and programming style by helping them arrange simple colored blocks one after another.In Undergraduate curriculum, most of the students who opt for engineering degrees, do not havethe programming background due to their career interests.
