Pre/post surveys and focus group interviews were conducted tocollect data from participants. Students strongly indicated that the program was an importantbridge between their undergraduate and graduate careers and that important knowledge, skills,and interests were developed as a result. One of the main self-perceived deficiencies of studentsentering the program was technical communication, and gains were achieved in this area bystructuring biweekly program-wide meetings around developing relevant skills.

He also has assisted both the campus as well as the local community in developing technology programs that highlight student skills development in ways that engage and attract individuals towards STEAM and STEM fields by showcasing how those skills impact the current project in real-world ways that people can understand and be involved in. As part of a university that is focused on supporting the 21st century student demographic he continues to innovate and research on how we can design new methods of learning to educate both our students and communities on how STEM and STEAM make up a large part of that vision and our future.Dr. Oscar Antonio

The goal of the experiments is to help students determine howdifferences in concentrations of nano-sized particles, which are added to common materials, canchange physical properties. In this exercise, student teams will fabricate composite films filledwith different concentrations of carbon black in two different types of polymers: 1. latex-basedcomposite with poly (vinyl acetate), and 2. solution-based composite with poly(vinylpyrrolidone).

and holistic approach to engineering education.In addition to active learning approaches, it is equally important to develop methods for studentsto assess their own learning and, through survey and interview tools, to evaluate the impact ofthese courses and projects in enhancing student confidence in their ability to learn. The basis ofevaluation is the degree to which students feel these courses enhance their views of lifelonglearning, including providing them with the tools and self-efficacy to teach themselves, as wellas the degree to which students understand how specific coursework contributes to acomprehensive approach to engineering problem solving. Hence, improved assessment,including self-assessment, better enables courses and

In the graduate education context, engineering students are traditionally expected toundertake, complete and document an independent project of significant scope. The ‘significantscope’ dimension often clashes with ‘independence’, as many of the relevant problems incurrent-day engineering are multi-disciplinary, or at least multi-dimensional, and are bestaddressed by teams.The graduate disquisition is intended to be a substantive intellectual product.
