Typically, programs include hands-on
enhancing collaboration between peers andpotentially easing the difficulty of the engineering curriculum for some students. Strategies thathave been found to be effective for learning in engineering classrooms and promoting community-building amongst students include cooperative learning activities, model-eliciting activities,problem-based learning, inquiry-based laboratories, and learning communities.3 The use of studentself-assessment tools can help students to increase self-efficacy and confidence in theirengineering-related abilities.11 Many universities are currently utilizing multi-pronged approachesthat include improvements to mentoring and academic advising, the development of a communityof belonging, and improvements to teaching in the

PomonaAbstractService learning is an innovative training technique where a service project or service experienceis incorporated in an academic course and is evaluated as part of the course overall grade. In thispaper, we present the design, implementation, and outcomes of a senior project capstone coursewhere service learning content and K-12 outreach activities are incorporated. We collaboratedwith a community partner, Ganesha High School in Pomona city, to provide students withservice learning experiences. The first course project includes an outreach seminar to introducesolar energy to the high school students and an A-to-Z project to build a solar charging station.The second course project includes developing computer programs and teaching the high

This paper will explore the following questions aboutacademic engineering librarians in the post-war period.What was the demographic profile of engineering librarians in the late 1940s? How didengineering librarians compare to other librarians in terms of geographic region, age, education,and gender?What professional credentials did engineering librarians possess? Did engineering librarians havesimilar professional credentials as other librarians? Were they more likely to have advanceddegrees? Did they have degrees in engineering or a related field?What was the status of engineering librarians within the academy? Where they consideredacademic staff on par with teaching faculty

Thus, engineering cultureand the development of engineering identity is inextricably tied to the places that reproduce itand contains within it specific organizational patterns, embedded norms and routines, sharedbeliefs, and values that often mediate how students engage with faculty, staff, and one another.In short, culture cannot be decoupled from the place in which it is experienced and imparted.Extant research delineates visible manifestations of culture as “ways of doing things” within theclassroom and laboratory spaces—which often prioritizes the teaching and development
