laboratory herein is to integrate fundamental engineering curriculum insuch a way as to provide a hands on application to study the principles at work. The hydraulichybrid vehicle technology is such an application that can be utilized to study engineeringprinciples.Additionally, the course shall be offered as both an undergraduate and graduate course. Thecourse will incorporate not only a hands-on problem-solving learning approach, but will alsoutilize and encourage basic research tools. The course is designed such that the students willperform a research review and assemble a paper that provides a basic survey of current researchareas in the field of hydraulic hybrid vehicle technology. This way, the course provides anopportunity for undergraduate

Walvoord published a practical guide to assessment in2010 [8]. The pre-post methodology is similar to that of one of the co-authors at the Air ForceInstitute of Technology [9] which presents a three-year study of a two-course graduate sequenceand employed a pre-test/post-test methodology with teaching techniques of Felder and Brent [10]to assess student learning using learner-center teaching techniques, one of which was Real-worldmini-sessions in industry, defense, and security.

inherently more complicated than any other academic discipline. Yet,engineering students struggle with numerous social and personal factors to maintain highacademic performance throughout their degree. This study aims to over-surface Bangladeshiengineering students' perceptions of what influences them to graduate successfully. In manydimensions, such as infrastructure, quality of instruction, and access to cutting-edge research,engineering education in first-world nations will likely differ significantly from that in lessdeveloped countries. Therefore, this investigation's results aim to contribute significantly to theexisting knowledge base. This study's outcome aims to understand better the factors thatinfluence students' academic decisions

The Research Questions This research examined management education from a quality assurance perspective,paying attention to measurable ends of such education. The purpose of this research was toevaluate the effectiveness of the Purdue University Engineering/Management Program (EMP) asthe managers were impacted by the program. Evaluation criteria established from the statedobjectives of the program (taken from the brochure), were used as bases for measuringknowledge, skills and attitudinal change. This evaluation study attempted to measure those changes that occurred in the knowledgeskills and attitudes, from before to after participation in the Purdue University Engineering/Management Program. Further research questions of
gender composition studies have not included this variable, although theresults discussed above indicate that it may be relevant (e.g., Harrison et al.18, Randel19,Laeser et al.20). In addition, the research that has been done may be improved upon by givingmore systematic attention to the measurement of gender orientation of the project domain.For example, some authors have simply suggested that tasks may be more masculine orfeminine without directly measuring the variable to provide empirical support (e.g., Wood21).Others have examined the dimension in a cursory and indirect manner. For example,LePine et al.22 utilized a simulation of a military task for command and control teams, whichwas assumed to be masculine, but the gender orientation was

]. Diversifying STEM fields is essential to matching USjob growth demands to maintain global competitiveness [2], [3]. Several efforts seek to increasethe number of diverse undergraduates entering the STEM pipeline; however, there is still a longway to go at the graduate school level [4]. To address this need, many Predominantly WhiteInstitutions (PWI) have created pipeline programs to encourage undergraduate STEM majors topursue graduate studies at their institution. One strong strategy is for PWIs to partner with MinorityServing Institutions (MSI) to create opportunities for underrepresented students to be exposed toSTEM fields [5]. There are several well established partnerships, such as ones that create pipelineprogramming to graduate studies [6], [7
