specifically tailored to their professional needs in theSummer of 2013. The professors represented a full academic program and their expertisecovered most areas of architecture. They were also interested in learning about the structure andoperation of a higher education institution in the US, in particular, at MSU Denver. Therefore, itwas straightforward to develop the architecture minor program for MSU Denver jointly. The UP professors and their MSU Denver civil engineering professor colleagues formed acommittee to work on the project lead by the CET Program Coordinator. Working in subgroupsby subject areas, each subgroup provided recommendations in their specific field of expertise onthe content and structure of the corresponding planned course

. Studentssubmitted “revised” resumes after the seminar, and comparing the “initial” and “revised”documents indicated that while most students’ resumes improved over time, there was a strongerimprovement in the treatment group (who received individual advising).IntroductionDeveloping an effective resume is essential for students transitioning from undergraduateprograms to the workplace or graduate school. Prior research has indicated that providingengineering students with guidance on developing strong resumes can support the developmentof personal identity [1] as engineers and encourage career planning [2]. Yet the most commontype of resume support provided to undergraduate engineering students is through careeradvising centers, which frequently focus on

cyclical, five-step engineering design process (EDP). The EDP guides studentsthrough asking questions, imagining, planning solutions, constructing their designs, andimproving their collective work before the end of the unit. EiE introduces the EDP throughleveled stories that introduce the type of engineer and the real-world relevance of the challenge.The unit then breaks into three lessons. Each lesson builds on the next with activities that helpstudents understand the steps of the EDP and how engineers work as a team to create andimprove technology. The motivation of EiE is that all students can learn engineering, includingminority students 10, 12.The NGSS shares EiE’s goal of engineering education for minority groups 5. From anepistemological

Weexpected it to address the NGSS, and to provide exposure to the applications of fundamentalengineering principles to analyze systems as part of the engineering design process. We alsointended to provide students with experience using spreadsheet programs to solve engineeringproblems and present engineering solutions. We identified four key course outcomes, with thefirst three directly derived from the NGSS, as follows: (1) Define a problem; (2) Synthesize andevaluate solutions; (3) Perform tests and analyze results; and, (4) Clearly explain whatengineering is and what engineers do.As we delved into course planning, concerns about faculty and student

ofEducation Statistics, 2015). In addition, Texas leads the nation with over 78% (45% nationalaverage) of 4Y graduates having been enrolled at 2Y institutions (NSCRC, 2012). Despite theprevalence of these multi-institution attendance patterns, this is not a popular phenomenon amongfaculty, administrators, and policy makers, as it challenges the assumptions about curricula,planning, and academic support programs (Borden, 2004). This back-and-forth enrollment isreferred to as “student swirl”, a term first coined by de los Santos and Wright in 1990 (Borden,2004). de los Santos and Wright also coined “double-dipping” to refer to concurrent enrollment attwo institutions, but in this case, concurrent enrollment is not supported by institutional efforts

Student assessment data will be analyzed using analysis of covariance(ANOVA) techniques. This analysis will provide evidence of any changes in the students’interest and/or self-efficacy in the field of engineering.

Only 9% STEM works have a high schooldiploma or less (Commerce Blog, 2012). For a prospective student intends for STEM as the career plan, the analysis of the linkagebetween STEM jobs and STEM education indicated two patterns. Firstly, a STEM degree is thetypical path to a STEM job, as more than two-thirds of STEM workers with a college degreehave an undergraduate STEM degree. Secondly, STEM degree holders receive an earningspremium relative to other college graduates, whether or not they end up in a STEM job. Likewise,college graduates including non-STEM educated enjoy an

The School of Engineering began using the first hour of the two hours to view actual engineering classes on Friday morning to interview potential STEM scholars. This allowed those students being considered for the honors program or full scholarships to still be interviewed Friday afternoon. Table 3. Undergraduate

Students compared and contrasted two games and wrote acritical analysis of a game. The majority of the class was spent conceptualizing, planning andcreating a video game. Groups learned the required programming skills as needed to implementtheir vision. Students completed a survey at the conclusion of the course.
