educational process andprepares students for success entering a constantly-evolving professional landscape. The modelis designed to strengthen the relationship between our college and industry from four strategicdirections. • Providing faculty from engineering and technology disciplines as consultants to industry through a dedicate outreach program, the Center for Innovation in Technology and Engineering. • Generating continuous feedback through establishing relationships with industry professionals at the college and university level. • Encouraging student professional and technical development through a Career and Development Leadership Center. • Creating opportunities for students to gain valuable industry
studentsperceive to be most responsible for their build-up of social capital, as well as how the resultingsocial capital influenced school and/or career decisions in CS. With an understanding of CSSI’simpact on students’ persistence in CS, our findings will inform the design of future CS supportprograms such that they encourage and build social capital and persistence amongunderrepresented students in the field, ultimately working towards greater diversity in CS.Background A. Persistence in CSPersistence refers to an individual’s commitment (whether intended or realized) to stay in a field.Its study is motivated by the substantial opportunity cost that results when undergraduatestudents leave the field [26] and CS’ highest attrition rates among Science

discuss the experiences of these students who took the seniorproject capstone class with my colleague last year. As kind of expected they were very positivewith the outcome and obtained an enhanced understanding of data exploration, feature selectionand classification algorithms, even model comparison and assessment which they attributed totheir early exposure to python as well as the reinforcement of the usage of vectors, matrices andMatlab functions for statistical applications.In conclusion, it can be stated that with proper guidance, monitoring, and diligent care,engineering technology students can be exposed earlier to manipulating tabular data usingpython’s pandas, data visualization using matplotlib, supervised learning using linear

Online students have been encouraged to attend the traditional career fairs, thoughdue to travel restrictions and distances, most have not participated. In addition to limitations ontravel, traditional career fairs also faced space limitations with meeting the maximum number ofemployers since 2015. Each year additional employers expressed interest but were turned awaydue to space limitations. Knowing the limitations facing the traditional career fair, the CPDO andour office partnered to design a virtual career fair.

. Streaming media tutorials, Flash animations, Java baseddemonstrations, and example questions and problems are among the many applicationsthat have been developed to augment both the remote and the local experience. Themajority of these applications are designed to be used outside of the “classroom” toexpand the students understanding of the material. Remote labs, which use networkconnectivity to provide access to oscilloscopes, virtual circuits and other analysisequipment, allow for the delivery of fundamental electrical engineering courses.3The communication requirements inherent in the teacher-student relationship are anotherobstacle that must be overcome in a remote learning environment.

% probability that that would be thelast heard about the matter).. Two days later, the students' rate of progress had decided the issuein their favor. The topic of acoustic levitation/ positioning was selected as one where a relativelyharmless experiment could be designed, with a passing knowledge of acoustics and fluidmechanics. Acoustic positioning deals with moving one or a few particles to the stable points ina resonant sound field; we decided to see if this idea could be extended to form entire surfaces.The proposal was written by the student team, of whom 2 were Co-ops at Delta Air Lines, andone a Co-op at NASA Langley, and e-mailed for editing to the advisor. With little time available(a usual feature of most undergraduate initiatives, probably
