fromtalent identification up to bachelor’s or master’s degree completion. This paper outlines thedevelopment, implementation, and evaluation of the Holistic Programmatic Approach for Transfer(HPAT) model. The model is built on a well-thought-out program design reflected in a transferarticulation agreement and a joint commitment to quality and student success. Integral to theapproach is the requirement that the rigor of the curriculum at the community college matches thatof the 4-year partner. In addition, faculty, administration, and staff work synchronously andcollaboratively to provide intentional student support at each institution, with financial assistanceup to the master's degree completion. Holistic student support implements the

These two efforts are in place to understand, facilitate, andencourage sharing of materials and best practices between educators. The first is thedevelopment and refinement of the web-based repository for curriculum materials; thesecond is a study on the curricular decision-making processes of transportation engineeringeducators.The overarching

A CBE approach can be applied where competencies aredefined (1) to create a new program, (2) for an existing curriculum without significant changes,or (3) to drive curricular redesign where gaps are identified and learning outcomes are re-writtento align with published competency frameworks. A CBE initiative can be defined for atraditional course-based graduation model where students need to complete a certain number andtype of courses and credit hours, or CBE can transform the curriculum and

Jeff is currently leading a campus-wide strategic planning process focused on creating more transforma- tive educational experiences for lifelong learners. Jeff first joined UW-Madison’s faculty in 1989 as an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, where he co-founded the Construction Engineering and Management Pro- gram and developed the construction curriculum. In addition, he has authored and co-authored papers on the subject of educating civil engineers. His body of work demonstrates his commitment to using emerging technology in the classroom to prepare the next generation of engineers and other students for the

Outcomes by their very nature describes what students should know or can do by thetime of graduation. The implication is therefore, that lifelong learning and a global perspectivemust originate within the 4-year engineering curriculum/program. The

This institution offers over ten undergraduate degrees in engineering and computer science. Class sizes typically average 25 students, with upper division classes averaging about 15 students.• Women’s (Masters L): A small women’s college of approximately 1,792 undergraduates in the Northeast with fifty majors, including computer science, biology, biochemistry, bio- statistics, chemistry, environmental science, health informatics, mathematics, and physics degrees in STEM, but no engineering degrees. This institution offers a liberal arts education for its undergraduates integrated with professional work

this ideatakes form as optional work, where curriculum is designed by the instructor to help students gaina full understanding, but it is the decision of each student how much they will choose to engagewith the content. Weimer’s take on responsibility for learning is that faculty have an unhealthy large shareof the load. As educators, faculty design “rules, regulations, and stipulations” to force studentbehaviors into line with our assumptions about what positively affects learning. The argument ismade that this is a disservice to students, contributing to graduates with little commitment to orrespect for learning, who cannot function without structure and imposed control. However, theauthor believes that Weimer in this instance has
curricula revealed major use in circuits related courses with expanded use in introductory and upper level courses. Methods of implementation included use in labs, integration into theory/concept courses, in-class supervised work, and independent homework. All sites also incorporated pre and post affective assessment into their curriculum as a means of documenting use and three sites piloted concept surveys as an initial means of documenting cognitive gain. When queried faculty noted that their understanding of instructional practices increased, that they will continue to use the techniques in future courses, and that they would encourage other faculty to implement ECP and
universityeducation tends towards an integral formation, where teachers take a role as process facilitators,adapting strategies to students' needs. In this approach, all actors are relevant since theycontribute with ideas, reflections, and feedback en-route to a shared learning experience;therefore, everybody learns continuously, which allows us to develop continuous improvementsand apply what we teach. Here lies the value of feedback provided by each student.As can be seen in figure 5, the Questionnaire proposes seven areas to evaluate by students. Thetotal of responses was 817, the rate of responses with comments: 23.75%. The results of thisevaluation are as follows. Figure 6. Item: The facilitator created an atmosphere of trust.Given the

For example, they found that“Integrators,” whose tendency is to ensure that the team works well on an interpersonal level, tendto be best suited for complex projects that require timely completion. Their results suggest thatdiscovery of a leadership style that is effective for the projects that we do in our courses may leadus to develop a leadership curriculum that teaches leadership in that style to achieve better courseoutcomes [14].

: Course Development • Notes: The development of our First Year Seminar (FYS) course began with identifying the specific needs of first-generation students. We used evidence-based models, including Tinto's Model of Student Integration and Schlossberg's Transition Theory, to guide our curriculum design. Our focus was on creating a holistic learning experience that not only addressed academic needs but also fostered personal growth and community building.Slide 5: ModelsTinto's Model of Student IntegrationTinto's Model of Student Integration, developed by Vincent Tinto, is a theoretical frameworkthat explains how students' interactions with their academic and social environments influencetheir persistence and retention in

engineeringIntroductionUndergraduate engineering programs in the United States require an engineering designexperience, often described as, ‘senior design’, as part of the ABET (the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology) accreditation process. The ABET Definition of Design is, “Engineering design is the process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs. …... The engineering design component of a curriculum must include most of the following features: development of student creativity, use of open-ended problems, development and use of modern design theory and methodology, formulation of design problem statements and specification, consideration of alternative solutions, feasibility considerations

As a result, global engineering courses and projects have grown rapidly.There has also been a simultaneous growth in engineering students looking for ways touse their engineering skills in service of improving the lives of those less privileged thanthem. Young students are eager to apply the engineering skills they are acquiring, toengage with these problems. This is echoed in the study conducted by Oberst and Joneson the megatrends in engineering practice, which identified social imperative as one ofthem [3]. As such, there has been a call for engineering educators to create opportunitiesfor students to learn how “engineering is an integral part of societal change” and be ableto accept “responsibility for civilization’s progress” [4].A set
