research demonstrates that professional skills, such as teamwork, projectmanagement, cultural awareness, leadership, and interpersonal communication, are still lacking inour graduating students [7, 8], and, in turn, are slowing their career advancement. For this reason,university engineering programs, as well as professional societies in engineering [9, 10], haveidentified the teaching of such professional skills as a goal. Unfortunately, despite this growingand collective interest in professional skills, studies [3, 11] continue to show significant gapsbetween what students are taught in the classroom and what they need to know to succeed inprofessional engineering practice.There is well-established research that professional skills are

MOTIVATION AND BACKGROUND Additive manufacturing (AM, or 3D printing) technology is quickly becoming a common sightin cornerstone engineering design courses [1,2]. The reason is twofold: (i) AM is set to be adominant tool for end-use manufacturing (and thus it benefits engineering students to be exposedas soon in their careers as possible) and (ii) low-cost AM systems can enable rapid prototypingand iteration in the design process, while dovetailing well with computer-aided design (CAD)skills also learned in cornerstone design courses.

) educational programs and careers [1]. This underrepresentation is reflected in the normsand culture existing in STEM fields. The perception of a white-men dominated environment canoften result in unfair stereotypes and biases imposed on women and people of color. These studentscan face assumptions of inferiority and be considered as part of the STEM field only as part of arequirement or quota [2],[3],[4]. Group based project learning is a common tool used in the engineering classroom topromote the acquisition and development of skills that prepare students for engineering careersrequiring significant collaborative effort.

students’ early exposure will benefit them in subsequent courses intheir academic careers [1,2]. Major constraints in exposing students to probability and statisticsin their first year are: course-space availability to accommodate an additional subject, and limitedclassroom time. Additionally, these constraints affect the depth at which an instructor can delveinto the material [2]. Also contributing to difficulty in students understanding the material is thatthey may not have been exposed to the subject of statistics in high school [2].To prepare high school students for the SAT and college, many high schools offer advancedmathematics courses such as Probability/ Statistics and Calculus.

classes.Learning a programming language is similar to learning a new spoken language, so studentsshould have interest learning it, and be motivated to practice. High school Career andTechnology education (CTE) and computer science classes should have extra hands on activitiesto gather more student attention. The best way to learn programming basics is to practice.In high school setting, most school curriculum has enough coding implementation . However,students may have some difficulty to understand the practices if they have lack of algorithmicand procedural understanding of computer science. I decided to add an extra hands on learningtool to my CS courses to show students to strength and power of computer science.MotivationComputer science has become a

It is important that the feedbackprovided to students be focused on improving performance, be understandable, and be clearlylinked to the desired learning outcomes [6, 8]. It is also important that assessment strategies are“cost-effective” for instructors in terms of the time and expertise required for implementation [8,19]. Rubrics have been identified as effective means to help

To accomplish this, we will continue to track a single cohort ofstudents from material balances through the remainder of their career in the chemicalengineering program. We will keep track of student retention, subsequent courses and respectiveinstructors, as well as performance, attitudes, and external experiences such as research orinternships. We also are in the planning stages of a more homogeneous course model for materialbalances. The revised course model will focus on exposing students to problems that engage thefull spectrum of learning styles. As learning styles describe the cognitive processes involved ininformation gathering and problem solving, we believe it is important to teach
