Initial results indicate a positive impact on the student population participating inthe project.BackgroundThe NSF-funded S-STEM program is designed to provide low–income academically talentedstudents with financial and academic support through scholarships and activities that promotetheir retention to graduation [1]. S-STEM programs differ from institution to institution.However, there are key elements like academic support, community engagement, and careerreadiness that are included in
the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) It is well known that time is money. When a newly hired employee comes on board in a company, the employee must be trained on the specifics of that company’s equipment. There is a certain learning curve that is required to complete this action. If the newly hired employee had previously been trained in the operation (i.e. hardware & software etc.) of this company’s equipment, the employee’s learning curve time would be greatly shortened, saving the company a great deal of up-front training money. This is a great reason for that company to make an equipment donation.• A pre-trained workforce for companies that utilize this equipment Companies that

However, many fewer girls reported aspirations for a career in a STEM field (13%).Examples of STEM career aspirations named by girls included: chemist, computer programmer,aerospace engineer, mechanical engineer, forensics, marine biologist, medical research,radiologist, video game designer, to name a few. Of the specific STEM components, girlsexpressed the least interest in engineering with only 6% reporting explicit plans to study aparticular engineering major in college and only 4% explicitly naming a future engineering jobor career.Comparisons of logistic regression

The survey was sent to men and women of all ranks faculty inengineering and computer science programs in order to compare the results by gender and rank.The survey questions were divided into five categories, as discussed below:1) Demographic Information – Because this study was all about the gendered experiences of theengineering faculty in the system, collecting the demographic information was the first step. Thedata in this category included gender and race/ethnicity.2) Employment Information – The main objective of this study was to evaluate the

No longer will it be sufficient for engineering schools to simply outsourcetheir quota of humanities courses to departments across campus and remain ambivalent as towhat their engineering students are learning in those classes. This leaves engineeringdepartments with two options. Either they can take a renewed interest in the courses they chooseto outsource, assessing their value and building curricular bridges relating these HSS courses tothe whole engineering curriculum or engineering departments can integrate curricularcomponents into their own departmental offerings; curricular content specifically designed tomeet ABET criterion relating to the humanities and social

The use of software tools should be an integral part of the laboratory course, not anafter the fact add-on. It should permeate the students’ efforts and extend from the initial pre-laboratory work through the simulation, the data collection, analysis and the generation of thelaboratory report.In Lab Zero we introduce the use of MATHCAD to
Italic for math symbols and math symbols only while notes,labels, names, and units should be in the vertical text style. This international standard is veryhelpful to the reader, as Italic symbols stand out distinctly in the test. Students probably have notbeen taught and apparently have not learned by example this very useful convention, so it isemphasized here. The importance of headings in organizing a technical report is also stressed. Page 7.1242.3Attention to this section ensures a report with at least minimally acceptable physical appearance.

ProcessProject management and team management skills are developed during the capstone course.Teams are encouraged to schedule and manage their own weekly team meetings outside of classtime. Students learn to break down the overall problem into manageable major and minor tasks,then create timelines and schedules. Students must estimate and construct a budget. Each teammember performs tasks as assigned, planned, and managed by the team. Successful end-results(deliverables), as well as oral and written presentations communicating the student’s solution tothe problem are expected. Course faculty act as the engineering manager over the teams and helpto facilitate the project and guide student/team progress.The traditional model at UNHM had been to find

The mentees were undergraduate seniors thatwere considering applying to graduate school.By the end of the mentoring relationship, participants completed a written personalstatement/CV, identified writers that could provide strong letters of recommendation, evaluatedresearch experiences, addressed any mitigating factors such as GPA, and learned about anyhidden knowledge regarding the GSAP and
students as discussion can be grounded inconcrete scenarios as a vehicle for introducing abstract ethical principles (Bockman & Boehrer,1990.) By examining case studies students can learn to identify issues, understand powerrelationships and key players, and identify the factors that underlie the issue (Merseth, 1991).Engineering students will have the opportunity to explore the myriad of circumstances, key factsand relationships and then analyze the situation and apply their ideas with the existing evidence.Case studies are frequently utilized in engineering education to analyze defined problems usingactual information in order to build skill in applying and developing different skills depending onthe field of engineering.

course in ‘innovation’, we think that these skills should be learned in the context of a structured approach to problem solving - problem formulation, problem analysis, and solution. The ‘Grand Challenges’ can be incorporated as elements into the early design courses to help provide a context and engineering background for students as they take the science and mathematics analysis courses. This also aids in indicating to students the areas where mechanical engineers are needed to provide leadership in the development of innovative and sustainable solutions to these challenges [4].Gilbuena, et al.
