To facilitate this idea, engineering programs at York College of Pennsylvania offer acommon first semester, where all engineering students (and some undeclared students curiousabout engineering) take a design-based engineering course, Engineering Practices and DesignStudio (EPADS), along with other common courses. This design course consists of two modules:an Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) module; and a Mechanical and Civil Engineering(MCE) module. Students spend seven weeks working on each module, exploring basic conceptsin each discipline. In the MCE module, students work with Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools,basic hand tools, and machine tools in a machine

These mentors are called Education InnovationFellows (EIFs).In response to the struggles of some CoPs to form, the messaging of SIIP has evolved to invokethe simple message of “teach like we do research.” This simple message carries several importantmessages to maintain faculty buy-in. Like research, faculty governance is respected, givingfaculty jurisdiction over how their courses are designed. Like research, improving teaching is anincremental process, in which data and peer review drive decision making and knowledgegeneration.

The TCCs continue to make great strides toward improving the livesof their members on the Reservation by creating culturally sensitive educational opportunities.However, there was concern with the low enrolment in STEM courses and programs. In order forthis situation to improve, programs had to be developed which not only motivate students topursue college education in STEM, but also help guide them through graduation.

Students mightchoose STEM due to alluring job prospects, pressure or encouragement from family members, orthe recommendations of an instructor or counselor. Others might be following a passion forscience or math, or using their undergraduate program as an intermediate step in their journeytowards an advanced degree [3], [4]. Of primary interest for this analysis is the influence ofperson-to-person interactions that fostered students’ interests in STEM. These interactions can beparamount in initiating and developing students’ feelings of belonging within their eventualdisciplinary community.One approach to improving the retention

Central tothis decision was the perception of the REU students that scientific research was an individualendeavor not aligned with their desire for personal interactions in their future careers.This study supports further consideration of remote REUs, especially given the high cost of in-person REUs and geographic, family, and other constraints experienced by some students
