Decisions regardingtenure and promotion include number and quality of publications in addition to teaching,research funding and service activities. Faculty members seeking to publish papers focusing onengineering education are somewhat limited in the journals they may submit their work to, andoften find it difficult to publish education oriented work in more traditional research

Surveying both undergraduate students and industry sponsorsrevealed that a shift of the curriculum toward a broader understanding of engineering standardsimplementation helps save time spent in the design process. Since the codes for designspecifications are already documented and established; the authors recommend theincorporation of industry standards into undergraduate education. Another interesting strategy to engage undergraduate mechanical engineering studentsin standards education was implemented by Phillips &

It can allow students to build connections with peers andnetwork with faculty or other researchers, as well as provide them with the experience of puttingtheir skills to work in the laboratory setting [1][5]. In some instances, the participation ofundergraduate students in research projects leads to a higher percentage of graduating studentsthan those who did not participate [11].Feeling connected and building a community is also a common finding among the programs.Transfer students may feel particularly alone as they begin their new programs [10

As it was impractical to ship activity materials to each student, we adaptedour off-campus outreach to a remote format by presenting virtually from a teaching laboratory atthe University of Michigan.
