assist them with completing problems.Several factors affect student perceptions of availability:• Subject expertise • Hiring tutors has a price tag. It is not always possible to hire students to be able to support attendees in every subject. • The more subjects each tutor is responsible for, the less likely they are to be able to effectively support students in that area. • Tutoring services without connections to academic units or expertise in tutor training may hire tutors based on performance in core classes, not necessarily their ability to teach problem solving skills.• Engagement • High traffic (before an assignment is due or before an exam) can make it difficult

At thecompletion of the teaching session, each student is evaluated by the others in the group, whichcan result in the identification of strengths and weaknesses. The instructor is available to providerecommendations on better communication practices. This peer-oriented review and evaluationprocess can result in improved communication skills.Criterion 3(h) focuses on a student’s ability to recognize the need for and to engage in life-longlearning.

We do this through a program of faculty-mentoredmultidisciplinary research, professional development, and exposure to real-world issues thatreflect the impact of nanotechnology on society, the business community, human health, and theenvironment. This approach also supports self-efficacy, multidisciplinary team-building,understanding the broader impacts of technology, and building the skills necessary for researchand lifelong learning.Overall, the key goals are:1. To provide an exciting and productive research experience for each fellow.2. To create a small cohort of students, who share common goals, that supports the developmentof

Our School categorizes ELA into four areas: global (e.g.,studying abroad), industrial (e.g., internships, co-ops), undergraduate research, and teamprojects. This study aimed to evaluate ELA participation and investigate the impact on post-graduation outcomes such as full-time employment and graduate school admissions.Additionally, a statistical analysis was conducted to assess the correlation between ELAparticipation and starting salary in industry placements. Our results show starting salariesincreased with the number of ELA (i.e., students completing two or more ELA have highersalaries than those completing a single ELA

. Several different approaches to K-12 engineeringoutreach have been employed to get students interested in the field of engineering, anticipatingthat this interest may impact later career choices. Some such outreach programs focus oneducating K-12 teachers about engineering so they may pass the knowledge on to their students,while others focus on university engineering faculty directly interacting with the students whomthey hope to affect. When institutions of higher education devise K-12 outreach programs, theinstitution itself must consider many factors; time commitment required of developers, fundsavailable, effectiveness of the program, and program sustainability are those that receive the mostattention.

Whilst this may not seem particularly high, the driving factor behind the developmentof the Changing Futures Project was the fact that for those students who do drop out ofuniversity, the impact on their lives and futures can be significant. 2. Background2.1 Retention & SuccessThe question of ‘what works?’ forms the basis of much discussion within the UK HigherEducation Sector where literature on ‘retention and success’ gives an insight into the somewhatdebated social, educational and economic factors underpinning student attrition [11,12,13,14]. Themost frequently expressed explanations as to why students fail to complete their degree reflectthe complexity of the issues and vary in nature from a lack of ‘engagement with studies’ throughto
