statistics was covered in another course) in high school”.As referenced earlier in this paper, a national value of a 10.8% adoption of Probability/Statisticscourses in U.S. high schools was reported by the Department of Education for 2009. Theincreased percentage of students in ENGR 111 of 35.7% which is well above the nationalaverage is likely due to the fact that the student population surveyed only consisted of thoseinterested in engineering. Survey respondents were then asked if their high schools covered thespecific topics which were the general areas of focus in ENGR 111 (basic probability, averaging,standard deviation, frequency distributions, probability distributions) and the results can beviewed in Figure 4. From their responses there is

Garcia also directs community-building and peer-mentorship programs for undergraduate and graduate students, giving underrepresented students the opportunity to build confidence and camaraderie. These programs include the Engineering Success Pro- gram, established to provide academic support to first-generation underrepresented college students, and the Engineering Learning Community Introduction to Research Program, a high impact learning and re- search opportunity called ELCIR Program that offers freshmen underrepresented engineering students a chance to participate in a one-credit class and research project while gaining global experience

required totake. Additionally, at these institutions, graduate students have served as instructors of record.They will be invited to participate in the study as well. We also plan to collect data from thestudents of these first-year programs using an exploratory survey. The questions on the survey willseek to gather information about students’ initial interest in engineering prior to enrolling in theirrespective institutions, their general perception of the first year courses they have just completed,what their intended majors are, what types of activities they engaged in during their first yearcourse and if/how these activities fueled or increased their desire to continue to pursue theirengineering degrees.References[1] S.

hand, among the smallsample in the first cohort who graduated, their average grades were higher than the campusaverage.These results suggest that predominantly White research universities can improve the outcomesof their Black male students by developing their academic self-efficacy beliefs and racialidentity, specifically by establishing seminars, facilitated discussion groups, and/or learningcommunities, as indicated below by one participant. This advising seminar has allowed me to focus on African-American successes and failures in education, which will help [me] to gain better knowledge of what I need to succeed here [in college] and in life. Also, I have had tremendous growth in time management skills and goal

Paper ID #28036Inquiry-based Learning for First-Year Engineering StudentsMrs. Tracey Carbonetto, Pennsylvania State University, Allentown Joining the Penn State engineering faculty five years ago, my professional interests as an instructor of engineering are developing and refining methods of engineering instruction that will allow students to gain confidence and to increase their own success. Previous experiences in the metals and piping industry as a principal engineer have allowed me to promote necessary skills which need to be developed in the classroom so that the students have success upon graduation

His research has primarily been the implementation of technology for use in STEM education, as well as computational physics. He plans to pursue a graduate degree in physics at University of Colorado Boulder, where he can participate in research pertaining to physics, computer science and/or education.Mr. Nick H Abbott Ohio State University Mechanical Engineering student. I’ve done game design and programming as a hobby for 10 years. I’m interested in how we can create more immersion through VR and AR. I’m also interested in how to use technology in the classroom to teach complicated topics.Dr. Deborah M. Grzybowski, Ohio

semester, themajority of students in EDSGN 100 are introduced to engineering design through an 8-week longdesign challenge of the instructor’s choosing. During this challenge, instructors lead studentsthrough the problem definition, customer needs identification, concept generation, conceptselection, prototyping, and iteration phases crucial to engineering design. In the course’s currentform, these steps are further augmented by the inclusion of six educational modules (“World ClassEngineer,” “Professional Communication,” “Innovation Process,” “Making,” “Seeing the BigPicture,” and “Grand Challenges”). However, as the modules were created after the majority ofinstructors had established their preferred design project(s) for the first 8 weeks, the

For example, the St. Joseph House of Faith in Action is anew residential volunteer-supported construction which will eventually be a home base forvolunteering and connecting in the community. A recent study found that a clear majority of studentswere willing to volunteer for weekend community service projects post-graduation [1]. A smallermajority were even willing to forgo some salary as a professional engineer working at a companyknown for its support of community activism.Engineering FYS students lean on their background and/or inclination in engineering design andconstruction to help carry out their particular service project.
