difficult to assess using traditional researchmetrics such as number of publications or number of graduate students trained. Since partnerships between researchers and practitioners are rarely prioritized andinfrequently funded by federal organizations, there is a paucity of knowledge about how toassess such programs. This paper aims to explore that important topic by contributing in a smallway to that knowledge gap and asking: How are the projects funded by the CS4ALL:RPPprogram structured and what is the scope and scale of these partnerships? It is important tounderstand if the funded projects are reaching persons that do not identify as White and Asianmales. Specifically, this research assesses the geographic reach, linguistic diversity

the “business sense” that isperceived to be critical for climbing the corporate or organizational ladder. The success inmeeting these expectations is primarily based on the materials in the financial analysis course(s)similar to graduate level engineering economics.Several studies have examined the financial analysis tools that corporations employ [1,2]. Butthese studies did not specifically track the translation of these tools into the engineeringmanagement work place at the operating manager (first level manager, second level manager,and program / project manager) and engineer level. Consequently they are of limited use to theMEM instructor since they provide high - level organizational data, primarily from larger publicsector firms. The

B.S. in Engineering and 1 B.S.in General Engineering) are still operating and accredited. In 2005, ASEE became the leadsociety for the ABET evaluation of multidisciplinary engineering programs (B.S. in Engineeringand three other related titles). At last count, there were 32 accredited B.S.E. programs in theU.S. (plus 3 General Engineering, 17 B.S. in Engineering Physics and 11 B.S. in EngineeringScience programs also under ASEE purview). This paper provides a case study of a currentB.S.E. program, the shortest and most generic of the multidisciplinary engineering programtitles. The B.S.E. program at Baylor University was first accredited in 1988-89 and has servedand continues to serve effectively in multiple roles for our institution since
paper is directed at one of thosegaps, specifically, the absence of research on how student engagement with the interdisciplinary,intersectional curricular content offered by Women’s and Gender Studies (WGS) programsmight support diverse undergraduate engineering populations. In particular, we hypothesize thatparticipation in WGS courses that focus on STEM-related issues—such as critiques ofobjectivity or the gendered/raced history of scientific and technical knowledge—can have apositive effect on diverse undergraduate populations, especially relative to those populations’formation of engineering identities.This paper examines how engineering students’ engagement with STEM-oriented WGScoursework can support identity development and foster
Psychology to investigate our students’ perceptions in relation to team experiences.With these objectives in mind, our study is guided by the following research questions: How do team problem solving constructs of Organizational Leadership apply to team problem solving strategies in Engineering Design? How do team communication and problem solving strategies change at different points in an extended Capstone Design Project?BackgroundGroup problem solving in any discipline is a complex process requiring individual knowledge,group knowledge, and successful communication of that shared knowledge to meet a stated goal.In the field of Engineering, solving problems effectively as a
