Recruitingapplicants for the ASPIRE program focuses on advertising the program to as many high schooljuniors and seniors as possible. Consequently, in addition to advertising the ASPIRE Scholarshipon the university’s Office of Admissions and Scholarships webpage, the College ofEngineering’s webpage, and on departmental webpages, we developed a brochure that is sent tohigh school students and guidance counselors.ASPIRE Scholarship eligibility is determined by a combination of financial need, academictalent, interest in the field, and

There are also two external board members consisting of engineering educators – one in our state and one in a neighboring state -- such that travel time and cost for the external board members to attend meetings are not hurdles. The STEP Advisory Board meets two times a year -- once in fall and another time in spring – and the meeting format consists of a reporting component and a planning component. In the reporting component, the Advisory Board reviews project progress and provides feedback; in the planning component, the Advisory Board assists the Project Team to set priorities and provides suggestions for strategies.

Current status of the development and future plans are discussed.IntroductionWith the expansion of the renewable energy sector, the United States is facing a critical shortageof wind turbine technicians skilled in effective and safe troubleshooting strategies [1]. In 2015,wind energy provided 4% of the nation’s electricity and is expected to increase to 35% by 2050[2]. In the next 5 years alone, over 15,000 new technicians will be needed. With wind energyemployers already struggling to find qualified technicians, new methods of education andtraining are needed now to meet wind energy demands [3].Troubleshooting is a key skill thatmany current and prospective wind turbine technicians

Examples include refusing to participate, vocally objecting in the class to doing theactivity, giving low course evaluations, and/or distracting other students from participating.There are, however, effective strategies instructors can use to reduce student resistance [15, 16,17]. These strategies fall into three categories: planning, explanation, and facilitation [18].Planning strategies can be used during the development of an activity, in how it is organized, andhow to evaluate its effectiveness. Explanation strategies emphasize how an instructor can framethe purpose and the goal of the activity. Facilitation

,advisors use holistic advising methods to ensure students are comfortable while being on trackfor their academic path. Each scholar has a team of dedicated professional advisors and a facultymentor while in the program. Advising sessions are in-person or via Zoom, usually 20-30minutes. At the beginning of the semester, the discussion usually revolves around which classesthey should take for their career goals. During the semester, students may come for advice forany problem they have and are willing to share, whether academic or personal. Advisors usuallyput notes in the system so students can access them later, especially if the session concernsacademic planning (for instance, course schedules, applications for graduation, or other forms).These
