Due to the diversityof grade levels, subjects taught, and budget restrictions of their school, our intentions of havingthis tool be a “take-away” from the program has met with mixed results. While some teachershave indicated that they have the resources and support of their administration forimplementation of courses based on the Infinity Project™, it is not feasible for all, or even most,of the past RET participants. Therefore, the 2006 UH-RET program will allow teachers theoption of receiving the Infinity Project™ training, but it will not be an

Thefocus of the project was to link engineering faculty with faculty from core subject areas such ashistory, math and English. The experience was very rewarding. Shortly after employment, the writer enlisted his former graduate advisor in a joint ventureto write a paper, and possibly a chapter in a book. The former advisor welcomed the opportunity,and the efforts were successful. As his former advisee, the author posed no threat to the quality ofwork that the advisor is accustomed to producing.

Several institutions across the country have piloted or adapted the assessmentsystem for programmatic feedback. Some programs are using the assessment system as a means tosupport ABET accreditation expectations.As engineering programs in the United States work to integrate ABET expectations, particularlythose focused on engineering design, more information is needed to properly support faculty in thisendeavor. To increase understanding of assessment in the context of design capstone courses, a two-phase descriptive study of assessment practices in capstone design courses was conducted. The

The elements that the author wanted to see in a service-learning experience included the following: o Math that explicitly included course content o That the experience explored ‘non-technical’ or social structural issues and perhaps engage the community more broadly and make the students think more broadly and integrate their thinking about STEM in a social context o Service-learning as an option for students, not a requirement, and therefore equivalent to other course expectations.

One of the strategies that can assist different disciplines inimplementing General Education SLGs is Course Coordination. Many disciplines, especially inscience and engineering go through accreditation processes. For instance, Computer EngineeringTechnology, is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).The disciplines that go through an accreditation process must comply with a set of standards. Inthe process of implementing Course Coordination SLGs in Computer Engineering Technology,we noticed that several of these standards were similar to the criteria used for accreditation.

To assess the impactof the new curriculum, we used two previously developed scales: Appreciation of Cultural andEthnic Diversity scale (Price et al., 2011) and Science Identity survey (Chemers et al. 2010;Estrada et al., 2011) adapted for engineering.
