It has become a full-fledged partof his everyday activities.The program has deepened relationships between STEM faculty at HS and UP, and it has exposed39 students to a school down the street that few of them had ever considered.After three years of the program, the students feel more at home on a college campus, and perhapsmore excitingly (for the instructor), I feel incredibly at home in a classroom of high schoolstudents.References[1] L.

the DCIThe idea for a DCI began at a Mini-Conference on Undergraduate Education in Dynamics,Vibrations, and Strength of Materials that occurred in September 2002 [1]. The Force ConceptInventory (FCI) had been around since the early 1990’s and was recognized as beingsuccessful in spurring innovation in physics education [2]. At this meeting, participants agreedthat a Dynamics Concept Inventory could potentially provide the same benefits for dynamicsinstruction. A DCI team was formed and first met at the Concept Inventory Workshop at the2002 Frontiers in Education Conference in Boston (November 2002). The NSF-fundedFoundation Coalition was a key driver behind the development of the DCI and other conceptinventories.The DCI was developed using a

This initial conclusion drives the point thatveterans are an asset in the classroom and that leveraging their professionalism, leadership skills,and adaptability can have a positive influence on non-veteran student academics. Future work willfollow additional veterans to increase the study’s sample size and to enhance the ability to performa statistical analysis on the results. Additionally, the authors are looking to expand the research toinclude findings from other institutions to study the broader impacts of veteran presence in theclassroom.References[1] M. Kirchner, L.

first year seminar, it is important for the cohort to include both studentsinterested in science majors as well as those interested in engineering majors because studentsare in either the School of Engineering or the School of Arts and Sciences. This inclusion allowsstudents to meet peers they would not normally interact with. This cohort model enablesstudents to broaden their perspectives as they potentially encounter students with interestsdifferent from their own.The RISE first year seminar is now offered in the fall and spring semesters, as a year-longopportunity for a cohort of s 25-30 students. The fall semester focuses on academicpreparedness and acclimates students to their college environment by introducing them to facultyand support
