examples of community needs as well as success storieswhere sustainability was considered. The group visited 6 different wineries (see Figure 4) tolearn about their processes, best practices and current issues with respect to sustainability. Theproduction of wine in Ensenada dates back to the early 1900’s when Russians from the Molokangroup established in the Guadalupe Valley. The quantity and quality of the wines has increaseddramatically in the last decades; this has brought an economic boom as it attracts tourism anddetonates other activities such as arts, sports, gastronomy, culture, entertainment and education.This growth challenges the resource in the region, specifically water.

discipline were more intense (larger dosage) than the discipline-specificsessions associated with the residential camps of 2014. Thus, it is possible that this larger dose ofcontent generally helped students identify with each discipline as a possible major/profession forthem. The second factor that might (also) explain this difference is that the campers in 2014attended all discipline-specific sessions, whereas students that attended the 2015 day camps self-selected into those days (disciplines) that they wanted to attend. Thus, it is possible that the 2015campers that attended each day had more self-identification with the discipline(s) associated withthe day(s) they chose to attend.

that are probably typical of many senior design programs. These included • A process that allowed some students to assume a large portion of the project system design while others minimized their contributions, resulting in variable learning, • A system that made it difficult to evaluate individual students’ work as a team member, • Inconsistent and sometimes untimely mentoring of technical design work because this occurred only as-requested by groups or after identification by another faculty member, also resulting in widely variable learning experiences, • A very heavy mentoring load for the year-long course instructor(s) that gave the course a reputation of being a highly undesirable assignment

Simonand Binet developed the first spatial ability test around the same time Spearman proposed histheory. It was known as the “Scales of Intelligence”2.Spatial ability research started gaining importance at the onset of World War I in 1918, when theUnited States Army conducted large scale testing procedures in order to enroll militarypersonnel. These tests were called as Examination Alpha and Examination Beta1. ExaminationAlpha was administered to literate personnel and consisted primarily of verbal material.Examination Beta was the battery of tests that included non

engineering curriculum is not new. Many engineeringprograms meet EAC of ABET General Criterion 5 requirements through the use of project-basedsenior design course(s). Project-based design courses have been shown to have positive impacton professional skills post-graduation3. However, such courses occur at the end of thecurriculum and the ability to study the impact on the curriculum as a whole is not possible.Oregon State University demonstrated the use and benefits of a robotics project-based courseearly in an electrical engineering curriculum4,5 with the TekBot platform. Since that time otherengineering programs have implemented and studied the impact of project-based roboticscourses early in the curriculum. As an example, the United States Naval

Engineering Education, 2015 Development and Implementation of a Pathway Assessment Model for the ASPIRE ProgramAbstractThe University of New Haven received S-STEM funding for A Scholarship Program to IncreaseRetention in Engineering (ASPIRE): Improving Work-Study-Life Balance. The goal of the 5 yearprogram is to improve retention, particularly in the sophomore and junior years, for engineeringstudents who show academic potential but are at risk of not completing their studies due tofinancial concerns and/or life-work-study balance issues. The ASPIRE program aims toaccomplish this by: providing scholarships for sophomore and junior level matriculated studentsbased on both financial need and merit; recruiting and

Since 1994, he has directed an extensive engineering mentoring-research academic success and professional development (ASAP) program that has served over 500 students. These efforts have been supported by NSF STEP, S-STEM, and CSEM grants as well as industry. Dr. Rodriguez’ research inter- ests include: control of nonlinear distributed parameter, and sampled-data systems; modeling, simulation, animation, and real-time control (MoSART) of Flexible Autonomous Machines operating in an uncertain Environment (FAME); design and control of micro-air vehicles
