such a situation.Due to the fact, that the students, taking part in this course, were located in their home coun-try during their course participation, we used AdobeConnect as main instructional resourcefor the course delivery4. AdobeConnect is a classical web conferencing tool, with which mul-tiple users are enabled to perform online conferences. This means that all participants are atdifferent places and meet in an online room for discussion and interaction. Using this soft-ware for educational settings works just in the same way. The tutor sends out a time for themeeting and a link for the online meeting room to all of his or her students. Everybody ac-cesses the virtual meeting and with help of a webcam and a headset, everybody can

results, it can be concluded that offeringa thematic section of a course can be a good way to get students interested in the course content,to bring in projects that have a common theme and to help develop the students’ entrepreneurialmindset. Slight modification of the course, including developing thematic homework andprojects and adjusting the schedule to accommodate additional content are required, but canprovide benefits to the students as well as the instructor.Bibliography1.

The Philadelphia ACE (Architecture, Construction and Engineering) Mentor Program helpedidentify underrepresented students from the Philadelphia area and provided scholarships, along with thePenn State’s AE department to supplement those student’s attendance. The AE department also awardedinternal scholarships to underrepresented and economically disadvantaged participants as needed and fundspermitted.

During the open registration process, a cap of 24 students was set to provide a balanceof anticipated camp workers, activities, and costs. Additionally, this size was deemed
