c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Engagement in Practice: Increasing the Researcher/Inclusion Staff Collaboration Culture for Inspiration of Diverse Learners in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).Abstract: Through the establishment of an Outreach, Admissions, Scholarship and InclusionServices (OASIS) team, the University of Iowa College of Engineering has greatly expanded theactivities of faculty, staff and students to benefit the broader community. A key activity of theOASIS group is the connection of researchers, student organizations and academic programs,with programs that engage special populations to expand the reach of the academic communityand to advance the
internships.This paper discusses some of the challenges in the program and some projects that arebeing used to enhance engineering education of the students. It discusses the impact theNASA-UMES Summer Internship Program has on the education of the engineeringstudents. It also covers a senior design project arising from this internship program.Furthermore, it discuses First Year Engineering Students collaboration with the AviationSciences Program, and a Doppler Radar Study project involving engineering students.Key Terms – Industry Partnerships, Tri-cycle training device, summer internship, seniordesign project, Doppler radar 1.

behaviors for the advancement of eitherinstructional practices or engineering education research9. A need of fundamental change inuniversity policies is pointed out to better support and create a better interface with students aspart of our everyday operations10 .As suggested by the data and consensus of engineering educators HSIs also need to formulate anew strategy and approach to instruction to address these issues. Incorporating collaboration inthe instruction process might be one of the methods to enhance the teaching and learningprocess.Lack of inclusiveness and sense of belonging are some of the factors for the lower success rate ofminority students. Jordan et al proposed an intervention to improve sense of belonging11.Variousapproaches and
models are identified as particularly strongpositive elements of undergraduate research experiences 1, giving students confidence to pursueadvanced STEM education and careers of their choosing.Furthermore, as Engineering Education shifts toward active-learning based pedagogies centeredaround “open-ended” problem solving experiences, librarians are given more opportunities tointeract with students at all stages of their undergraduate careers. This interaction can be fosteredthrough faculty-librarian partnerships or collaborations, provided that the relation is framed as ateam effort dedicated to student learning. Distinct from a relation of simple “service providing”,librarians as teaching partners should have confidence in their expertise
