, primarily from community colleges in the Gulf Coastregion. Supported by the NSF S-STEM program, the project “Linking Community CollegeStudents to Engineering” offers funding to academically talented students of low income andhaving demonstrated financial need. The University of South Alabama is a public institution andhas reciprocity agreements that grant in-state tuition to students from coastal counties inMississippi and the Florida panhandle. While the LINK scholarship is not limited to studentstransferring from specified institutions, the majority of our transfer students come from fourinstitutions in coastal Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi. Award criteria include an assessmentof student academic performance, especially in mathematics
. Additionally, collecting responses from parentswho generally do not send their children to STEM camps may provide helpful insight into thoseparents’ perceptions about STEM and why they choose not to send their children to those kindsof camps. Gaining some understanding of that may help with the design of future camps toattract students normally not served by those camps.References:[1] Rozek, Christopher S. et al. “Utility-value intervention with parents increases students’STEM preparation and career pursuit.” Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 114(2017): 909 - 914.[2] Bahar, Abdulkadir, and Tufan Adiguzel.

developed by Evelyn Berezin in the late 1960’s – awoman! She began her education as a major in economics although her favorite subject wasphysics. Since physics was not considered a proper topic for women, she did not show her trueability for some time. At the end of the Second World War, there were many new opportunitiesfor women. She was able to fulfill her true desire to study physics and received her BS inphysics. Her primary interests were in the field of computer use in industry. Her earlycontributions include banking systems and airline reservation systems. She founded a company,Redactron, and developed a system referred to as the “Data Secretary”, the first computerizedword processor to aid the work of typists worldwide. At the time of her

we share some of the quotes we heard from the students: “I am still very cognizant of my accent. I always fear that I make grammatical mistakes as I talk. Like very often I make the mistake of using a plural verb for a singular noun. It’s hard. It doesn’t come naturally to me. I know it might be a small mistake, but I have that in my mind all the time. When I talk, I constantly remind myself to check my verbs - did I use that little ‘s’ at the end of the verb or not?. I fear what if I don’t get it correct during the presentations. Are reviewers going to doubt my capabilities? I am more confident in front of my advisor or others who believe I know my work and I am good at it. But when it comes
engineers is fundamentally an identity development process,the framework for this project combined Lave and Wenger’s communities of practice model tounderstand development of an engineering identity with Komives, et al.’s Leadership IdentityDevelopment Model for understanding how engineering students cultivate a self-concept as aleader. Overall, findings helped reveal how the components of engineering identity andleadership identity converge in the development of an engineering leadership identity amongundergraduate students.IntroductionThere are many reasons that developing leadership skills in undergraduate engineering studentsis important. Chief among these is that many of the greatest challenges facing society today, suchas the NAE Grand

Figure 1 showshow the two self-learning techniques are encapsulated within AI technology implementation, asdescribed by IBM. With the help of hi-powered computers, these algorithmic self-trainingtechnologies can process large amounts of data and recognize patterns. Adoption of these willresult in a new set of Tools Techniques and Procedures (TTPs)s for better PM performance wellbeyond what is currently being used. Figure 1.

and 12th grade science and math (2) and the majority of these areboys. While boys are socialized to continue in high school math, evenif they may dislike it, because they know it will be required for a jobthey know they will need, girls are socialized to consider math unfemi-nine, unnecessary and too difficult. Unfortunately they are often sup-ported in this attitude, not only by their peers, but also by theirparents, teachers and counselors.The organizers wish to encourage these girls to think about their fu-ture, not necessarily in terms of a specific occupation, but in termsof today s statistics (3): 1More than half the women in this country are in the workforce.Women work an average of 25 years.80% of working women are employed in
account the limited experiences of many of the students. The objectives of such acourse are typically to increase the students understanding of what engineering is, provide somebackground knowledge and experiences that will serve as a foundation for the material they willlearn over the next 4 years, and to encourage the student s interested in the field of engineering.Typically the culmination of these classes takes the form of a design project. The format of thedesign projects can vary, and this paper will discuss two very different formats that the authorhas used thus far in the Introduction to Civil Engineering course at the University of MinnesotaDuluth (UMD).
