The majority of students were fromEngineering (N=31), Business (N=36), Communication (N=15), and Hotel and RestaurantManagement (N=29) with 15 students representing the four other colleges. Males were alsomore heavily represented (N=94) than females (N=38).

Additionally,six seminars were held with follow up discussions and student reflections. While the averagenumber of program activities in which students participated increased somewhat, the program teamwas concerned that these program-specific activities were having limited reach and impact. During the grant period, loss of the team’s clinical faculty member led to a reevaluation ofthe program structure, specifically the role of the cohort facilitator. In the academic year 2018/2019the program team made the decision to hire a graduate student to serve as the coordinator ofactivities and primary point of contact for students

ABC wasinterested in designing and implementing the project and as a result ABC’s program was born in2010. During subsequent projects, ABC partnered with EAI which provided significant supportand experience in working with Bolivia. As a result of this relationship, ABC began arelationship with several Bolivian engineers that have significantly reduced the projectconstraints on resources and logistics.

One teacher said thatthe project encouraged students to think about problems in their community and build prototypesto decrease river pollution. Several teachers described using the knowledge of biomimicry tohelp students recognize the extensive use of this concept in engineering and design applications.Others said they planned to make biomimicry a fundamental way to teach problem-solving skillsby turning to nature for solutions.There was strong agreement among most teachers that involvement in the Making Inspired byNature project would foster changes in their classroom curriculum instruction and/or

and computerengineering classes.1. IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic has affected education in different ways. Because of the closure ofuniversities and schools, in-person instructions transitioned to online instruction. Instructors andstudents had to adapt to remote teaching swiftly. Previous studies on distance education haveshown that online teaching requires a different pedagogy and set of skills from that of the in-personclassroom [1], [2]. Educators are faced with new pedagogical issues regarding student interactionsand communications, course content design and delivery, adopting new types of assignments andperformance expectations, and different assessment and evaluation techniques [3]. This new teaching environment urged decisions and

According to Amelinkand Meszaros [20], hands-on applications of engineering tend to sustain women’s interest in thefield for the long term. When women can engage in hands-on activities, they feel moresuccessful and relate more to the engineering community. Furthermore, teamwork experiences ofwomen play a large role in how much they enjoy engineering. In their interview study of 55undergraduate students, Riney and Froeschle [2] found many of their women participantsreported a lack of respect from both peers and professors. They also reported a constant need toprove themselves to male peers. In other words, the

The whole experience proved to be very physically, as well as mentally and emotionally, demanding. It was apparent through our nightly conversations within the group of students that we were all greatly impacted by the magnitude of this health problem on this community and its people. What made the impact even more profound was observing the way of life of these people and their perception of the problem. Many of the children were more interested in the way our digital cameras or GPS units worked rather than the blood that was coming through their urine. And others were more

Examples include campus activities, socialization, recreation, leadershipopportunities, service opportunities and engagement in academic activities with peers. However,this culture of inclusiveness begins before the student veteran arrives, while they are on campus,and extends into workplace employment. Unlike many large universities with support staff toassist student veterans, the institution’s faculty are directly involved early in the transition all theway past graduation. Student veterans are part of the overall strategic plan for the School ofEngineering. This paper focuses on veteran and active duty students’ transition to and fromcampus life as well as their time on campus.Background
