American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Work-In-Progress: A study of the effects of peer tutoring in relation to student GPAScott Steinbrink, Adam Nogaj, Saeed Tiari, Lin Zhao, Karinna VernazaAbstractIn the fall of 2015, Gannon University implemented a semi-mandatory peer-to-peer tutoring programwithin a variety of courses that have traditionally been linked to high student attrition. Some of thesecourses have previously been identified as critical for success in the NSF S-STEM grant in effect at theuniversity, and thus it is of interest to determine whether students in the S-STEM program would benefitfrom inclusion in the peer-tutoring program. The peer-tutoring program presents a naturally
Food Processing: Another Case Study in Biologically Related Product and Multi-scale Design Joseph A. Shaeiwitz, Richard Turton West Virginia UniversityIntroductionThe profession of chemical engineering is in the midst of a change. Biology is joining math,chemistry, and physics as an “enabling science.” Chemical engineers are more often required todesign new products rather than new chemical processes. The past generation has seenenormous research advances in the enabling sciences in colloid-scale, nano-scale, molecular-scale, and atomic-scale technology.In response to this expansion of the skills and knowledge required of the 21st century

We start by discussing Exploratory Reading Groups, a
designing a biochemical-modelsimulation project since 2014, aiming to offer easy and affordable access of high-school studentsand teachers to a self-sustained engineering education program. Our project is based upon a freemodule-based platform (i.e., trial version of MATLAB Simulink) for solve ordinary differentialequation (ODE) models for bioreactors like cell-growth bioreactors and microbial fuel cells. Theresearch question studied in this work is whether the real-life related ODE models, along with aSimulink-based modeling platform, is helpful to attract high-school students’ interest in using mathto solve engineering problems. Four evolving versions of the project have been implemented inthis work, and the survey results were thorough studied

Effective advising helps studentstake stock of their interests and values and connect them to their academic, professional andpersonal goals. In other words, effective advising promotes introspection and reflection. Over thepast two and a half years, we have transformed our advising program using a flipped classroomapproach, combined with a series of questions designed to promote introspection and reflection inthe student.The Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering requires students to meet with an advisor once persemester.
