. Infact, “the only difference between research and inquiry based learning is the prior state ofknowledge of the broader community. In research it is unknown by all; in inquiry it is onlyunknown by the learner” (Fortenberry1, 1998, p.54). This implies that learning through inquiry isfundamentally equivalent, in the student’s perspective, to conduction of research. To the studentthere is no difference.Institutional SupportUnfortunately “many faculty, departments, and institutions struggle with initiating, sustaining,and enhancing their research programs on campus despite the national attention given to thebenefits of undergraduate research,” (Karukstis3, 2006, p. 1744). Luckily this is not the case atEastern Washington University. In fact, quite

As some of the scholars are first-generation college students and othershave parents unfamiliar with RIT, having information about support services available, allowsthem to assist us in encouraging their scholar to take advantage of their individualized supportnetwork. The orientation concluded with a list of other financial aid resources and time forquestions and answers. The participants expressed appreciation for the information about thescholarship program and for getting an opportunity to meet other supporters.The final initiative that we started this year was industrial networking. Due to restrictions because of thepandemic, the students were not able to tour local facilities to see engineering in action

Forexample, students can choose to add depth in a chosen discipline and/or pursue another area ofstudy. FAP is also integrated into CETA’s marketing collateral, open house recruiting events andorientation sessions to engage and retain first-year students. This paper describes the specifics ofFAP and how it is successfully being used to stimulate student interest, increase participation,and thus improve their prospects for lifelong career success.Strategic Engineering Technology Program IssuesA key strategic objective of CETA is to continuously

outreach activities and projects led by both industry andacademia, for diverse groups of prospective students, mostly K-12 students. There is however avery limited offering of outreach programs targeting adult populations, one of the reasons beingthe fact that it is not an easy task to convince adults to volunteer for workshop activities.Scheduling issues, conflicting with work or personal schedule, are most of the time the mainreasons to turn adults away from programs that would otherwise interest and benefit them. A lotof times various incentives may help in convincing potential participants to rearrange theirschedule and participate in educational programs. The project presented in this paperencountered in part this problem in recruiting

(NSF) Experimental Program to Stimulate CompetitiveResearch (EPSCoR) program. The program teaches UAS technology at rural Alaska high schools, andprimarily focuses upon mapping and monitoring near native villages. The term “blanket toss” comesfrom an Eskimo tradition of tossing a hunter into the air to scout distant game. Like the person beingtossed, a UAS provides a higher, broader perspective of their community.The Blanket Toss STEM program began in the spring of 2014 with $750,000 in funding spanning threeyears. Students from the native villages attend Upward Bound classes at the UAF campus during thesummer and learn to operate UAS at the Poker Flat Research Range. During the academic year,students take part in UAS-centered learning

How effective is simulation-based teaching methodology in comparison totraditional hands-on activity based labs? To answer this question a study was conducted toexplore the impact of the use of computer simulation design methods on students‘ learning forcircuit construction in an undergraduate technical course.

constraints such as desirability,affordability, language, safety etc. pose as major barriers for most students to participate in suchprograms.International student groups bring significant cultural diversity on a university campus. In2012/13, an estimated 819,644 international students studied in US with 19% (2nd highest)enrolled in various engineering and technology programs17. International students andassociations promote awareness of cultural diversity and global understanding within theuniversity and the broader community. Engaging local students with these diverse groups ofinternational students through activities, group projects, and discussions can be an effective wayof exposing students to learn cultural diversity, practices, ethics, and
