In addition to other academic andindividual factors, student feelings of community and career awareness are contributors toengineering students’ persistence toward degree completion. As part of developing retentionefforts for a new engineering Bachelor of Science degree program at Penn State Hazleton, wehave created a recurring program of employer engagement to center students’ focus on the

Evidence from university service-learning experiences support this hypothesis inprograms such as EPICS (www.purdue.edu/epics) and chapters of Engineers Without Borders,which are attracting higher percentages of women than the overall engineering population. Further evidence comes from the Changing the Conversation study which is finding thatthe way engineers talk about engineering with the emphasis on the technology does not connectwell with young people. What resonates much better is when connections are made between thetechnology and the impact on people and communities. If students who want to make adifference in their communities see the technology as a tool to accomplish

. At a time when local, state, and national resources for education are becomingincreasingly scarce, expectations for institutional accountability and student performance arebecoming more demanding. There is a need for more educational innovations that have asignificant impact on student learning and performance5.ABET requires institutions to establish an advisory board to provide input on educationalprograms and curricula6. One challenge that is typically faced by a higher-education institution ishow to determine which new programs to develop and curriculum changes to implement amonga diverse set of constituents7. This research takes a pragmatic approach to determine newacademic program development needs. The paper proceeds by discussing the

concerns thatstudents and instructors had was about the impact of remote learning on student outcomes,especially in the context of team-based work, as all three courses involved teamwork. To addressthis concern, instructors had to ensure that students had a way to engage with teaching assistants(TAs), industry mentors, and their design team in order to complete their project. Moreover,some students and TAs were in different time zones as a result of relocating due to campusclosures, which created further communication barriers. Structured online meetings wereconducted to facilitate interaction among peers and between teams and mentors.
