We also have a competitive internal mechanism for buying down teaching load from the required 3/3 to 3/2.2) Start-up Funding comes from restricted funds and fees. It is not part of the college’s budget.3) Our start-up packages are typically quite modest (< $15K). We work to provide them the equipment they need, but it may happen over their first couple of years. While grant seeking and getting is encouraged, it is not required for tenure. We don’t see the start-up package as a “loan” against future external funding.4) Our campus tenure policies do not explicitly require obtaining funding as a condition of tenure unless it is

A recent study by New York Times projects that climate change will soon drive agriculturaland energy shortages in the Southeast region [2]. Developing this workforce via higher educationcan create new economic opportunities and transform traditional industries in this region. Thecontribution of curricula to ecological knowledge and promoting students' environmentalawareness, presumably the main drivers of environmentally friendly behavior, is alsoacknowledged and analyzed in the literature [3]. In this context, and based on studies that exploredthe

They helpgraduate students navigate their programs and achieve their academic and career goals byoffering support, encouragement, and constructive feedback. This is why it is essential tocomprehend their opinion of the GRE as a graduate school application component for MS/Ph.D.programs.BackgroundNearly all studies on the GRE as an admissions component have focused on its predictivevalidity for graduate students’ success in terms of grades, time to degree completion, advisorrating, and peer-review publication ratings, among other graduate student success metrics.Kileger et al. [3] adopted a multivariate approach to measuring the predictive validity of the GREand

Retaining students through graduation is anongoing challenge, costing universities millions of dollars at all levels of higher education, fromcommunity colleges to the doctoral level [3]. In the United States, college retention hasworsened over several decades, such that “in 1990, the U.S. ranked first in four-year degreeattainment among 25-34-year old; [in 2014], the U.S. ranked 12th among other countries” [4].Data from the National Center for Educational Statistics [5], show many U.S. educational leadersare aware of retention problems in higher education and are making progress in preparing andhelping students to raise the retention rate.In historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs

and technical aspectsof reaching and safely arriving on the Moon, the more complex challenges of "Live" and "Explore"are rooted in creating sustainable systems for human survival and enabling scientific discovery ina harsh and unfamiliar environment [1,2].One of the foremost obstacles to "Live" is sustaining human life on the Moon, where theenvironment is starkly different from Earth. Unlike Earth, the Moon has no breathable atmosphere,limited water availability (mostly in the form of ice at the poles), and no natural soil capable ofsupporting agriculture [3]. Moreover, extreme temperature variations ranging from blistering heatduring the lunar day to freezing cold at night add another layer of difficulty. Reduced gravity,about one-sixth of

; this in turn is influenced by the presence of role models [5], [6] and access to resources [7],[8]. Propensity to act is the personal disposition to act on one’s decisions, which can be understoodas learned optimism [4]. Students’ entrepreneurial intent is also a function of a range of situationalfactors, such as social norms reflected in the institutional environment [9], and of students’ personalcharacteristics, such as propensity for risk-taking [10].The feasibility and desirability factors are influenced by the breadth and positiveness of previousentrepreneurial experience [3]. For students, and especially lower-division students, this model canfall short, if only because such students are unlikely to have any entrepreneurial experience at

terminated[2].The revised OSA theory found self-awareness can be positive when people agree with theirstandards [3]. The current research landscape suggests that self-awareness is multifaceted, but complex.There are the components of self-awareness that involve interpersonal and intrapersonalcomponents that account for beliefs, values, internal states, perceptions, and behaviors [4]. Thereare also practices that one can engage in to become more self-aware, such as self-evaluation,which includes self-reflection and insight, and momentary and continuous recognition [4], [5],[6]. Self-reflection refers to “the inspection and evaluation of one’s thoughts, feelings, andbehaviors” [7]. Insight is defined as “the clarity of understanding of one’s

We now devote roughly 1/3 of class and lab time in our introcourse to Excel and programming. Encouraging algorithmic thinking and working within theconstrained environment of a programming language helps reinforce the structured approach todesign and problem solving introduced earlier in the course. Experience has also shown thatmany students have an easier time learning programming when coupled with hardware sincethey can see the effect of code running in the real world.
