Thishas been extremely helpful in preparation for adding the new AAS PLT program which requiresmore equipment and more space. Currently the equipment in the photonics lab

After the introduction of linear programming,students participated in an approximate 10 week case study that aimed to apply networkmodeling to a problem based on real-world events. Inspired by the historical seismic activity ofthe Middle East, the Spring 2023 class case study sought to develop a distribution plan of reliefsupplies (ex., bottled water) from pre-positioned storage facilities in Turkey that could be used inthe event of a natural disaster. The case study involved 4 research assignments the studentscompleted outside of class paired with 4 in-class

This places the students in a positionof leadership with influence on the club’s success. Additionally, Melissa and Isabellafound that many students in the STEM Club were interested in pursuing engineeringcareers but unsure which engineering field. This uncertainty lends itself

Strategies employed by the LINK scholarship program focuson integration of new transfer students into the College of Engineering culture and onprofessional planning and skill development. We recognize that extracurricular involvement andleadership experience while an engineering student are important aspects in professionaldevelopment, but that a two-year timeline makes them difficult to achieve without intentionality.Efforts to integrate new transfers include a zero-credit (no cost) seminar that serves to familiarizestudents with the college and university environment and resources.

This instrument will be used to map decision-making competency toacademic choices and outcomes. The third goal is to develop an Academic Dashboard as a meansfor sharing relevant research results with students. This will allow students to have access to thestrategies, information, and stories needed to make and implement adaptive decisions.

Although the university still had a heavy hand in finalizing the classroom activitiesfor year two, this model of engagement allowed for more teacher buy-in with the material,consistent with our goals for sustainability.
