An enrollment model for evaluation of alternativestandards for admission was developed in 2014 for enrollment management at a sustainablelevel. The development of these measures was presented at previous FYEE conferences andresulted in improved 6-year graduation rates among our incoming engineering cohorts insubsequent years.Additional data mining of enrollment databases used in the development of enrollmentmanagement measures allowed further slicing of engineering enrollment into smaller cohorts ofinterest.

The novel implementation makes use of theASME Professional Practice Curriculum (PPC), a set of on-line “short courses” developed byASME and available to the public at no cost. By integrating these “short courses” into theCapstone Experience, students can participate in a significant professional developmentexperience that is beneficial to both their long-term career goals and their execution of theircapstone project. In addition, the on-line self-study provides an ideal format for engaging thestudent in the type of lifelong learning required for professional success.

Assessment measures have been developed to measurethe effectiveness of the new system which will be used in the DSP course for the first time inspring 2016. The first senior cohort that will be assessed for this work will complete theirculminating project during the spring 2017. If the system proves successful, it will be useful toother universities and to other areas of the EE curriculum such as controls and communications.References 1. Cameron H.G. Wright, Thad B.

The American Society of Engineering Education(ASEE) and the Rose-Holman Institute of Technology sponsor an engineering case website thathas about 350 case studies1. The presence of this website leads one to believe that someengineering and engineering technology faculty members use real-world case studies.The advantages for integrating cases into any curriculum abound in the literature. These can begeneralized into four categories: 1) cases provide students with a link to the real world; 2) casesdevelop students’ critical thinking and problem solving skills; 3) cases develop students’communication skills; and, 4) cases involve

Calls for increased participation by all students, including thosewho have been historically marginalized, motivate the need for theoretically grounded ways ofdeveloping and assessing educational programs [1]. This paper draws from sociocultural learningtheory and applies four theoretical and empirical analyses to derive design principles for equitythat can inform curriculum, instruction, and assessment of preK-12 engineering educationprograms. We present a model for equity-oriented preK-12 engineering learning and delineate itsdimensions and principles, illustrating each with examples and discussing ways of implementingequity-oriented

EML emphasizes educating the “whole engineer” by supplementingtraditional engineering theory with nontechnical concepts related to curiosity, connections, andcreating value (the three Cs). “Curiosity” encourages students to investigate and question thesociety that surrounds them within the context of the technical material they are learning in class.In short, it encourages students to be problem seekers and definers as opposed to just problemsolvers. Students are then ready to make “Connections” to synthesize new and old knowledge tocreate innovative solutions to problems.

IntroductionUndergraduate research is a high-impact practice leading to student success, engagement,interest in higher education, and skills development [1] [2]. There are two well-known modelsfor incorporating research experiences in a program: Undergraduate Research Experiences(UREs) and Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) [3]. UREs representthe apprentice model. They feature individual students in faculty research laboratories andprovide the opportunity for one-on-one mentoring. On the other hand, CUREs are embedded intothe curriculum and are available
