students were introduced to a variety of campus resources, includingShah Center for Engineering career development, Library, Learning Enhancement Center, WritingCenter, and Counseling Services. Students thus had the opportunity to learn more about campusresources, connect with their peers, and faculty and staff from the JSHC as well as the College ofEngineering, and upper-class students from their programs. As the semester progressed, COF-IMPRESS-C scholars were encouraged to attend several other professional developmentopportunity and virtual community event held by JSHC.Dale Carnegie Training: COF-IMPRESS-C scholars were also invited to participate in DaleCarnegie training sessions, a program initiated by the college of engineering and in
replace all five of those courses with a single common introductory class. And as acommon course, one of the goals is to provide incoming students with information and experiencesto help them choose their major or at least confirm that they want to continue in their selectedmajor. At present, this goal is carried out in two ways. First, six class meetings are devoted to themajors; each major has one dedicated class period with each section: the Major Day. Typically, aMajor Day involves an overview of the major through a review of the curriculum and a discussionof career options. Then, the bulk of the time is spent in a hands-on design activity that illustratesaspects of the major (for example, building prosthetic hands to do a task in biomedical

, there is no right answer.3.6 Reinforcement of ValuesMany students noted that their professional responsibilities did not change as a result ofparticipating in the course (n=14), and roughly half of these respondents suggested theirprofessional orientations were reinforced. For some students, this reinforcement came in theform of encouragement to continue on their chosen career path (be it engineering or some other).When this was coded, the students’ reinforced values or career vision tended to be ofhumanitarian-orientation.

the structure for students to gain relevant community-engagement skills and knowledge was to reassess the learning objectives of the HE minor. Tothis end, several faculty, staff and students gathered three times in the 2017 spring and summersemesters. Several of these members participated in the Humanitarian Engineering AdvisoryCouncil, a voluntary committee of faculty and staff dedicated to the HE minor curriculum. Theprocess began with brainstorming a list of learning outcomes for the students. Additional facultyand staff added learning outcomes they felt were pertinent to the list. The final list of 29 learningobjectives was then coded by all faculty teaching courses within the HE minor to see whether ornot their class addressed each

Efforts include both domestic single-institution programs andinternational multi-institutional collaborations [9, 10]. Depending on the type of school and thetarget audience, semiconductor education employs different formats, including modular courses,full-semester classes, specialized semiconductor tracks, and independent curricula [11]. Inengineering education, local workforce development faces significant challenges, particularly inaddressing the shortage of skilled engineers. This talent gap makes it difficult for companies,especially small to mid-sized businesses in high-demand fields like semiconductors, to find andretain

facilitators of a student-led learning process [12]. Engineering educators have adapted similar PBL approaches such as capstone designprojects and engineering student design teams to complement the more traditional, basic-sciencebased engineering curriculum. Project-based learning (noted as PBL*) team opportunities arequalitatively different than traditional PBL efforts in one demonstrable way. Engineering projectteams tend to engage more complex design challenges over a longer period of time compared toin class PBL investigations commonly used in medicine[2]. This qualitative difference createstwo organizational challenges unique to engineering project-based learning teams. Student PBL* teams must sustain team motivation throughout a
provisional patent application in whichstudents describe a technological design they have developed in class. In previous semestersstudents would develop ideas for the patent application with relatively few parameters. Theycould generate ideas for nearly any kind of innovative technological device, process, service, orsystem as long as they could describe and illustrate it in 6-8 pages. It was thought that studentswould appreciate the opportunity in an STS course to work on a writing project that was moretechnically oriented and to develop their creativity by coming up with designs for newtechnologies that could help address practical everyday challenges students face. These open-ended parameters, however, tended to hinder instead of inspire

entrepreneurship within the technical realm. The concept ofDesign Thinking has expanded the application of the technical design process beyond traditionalboundaries, encompassing domains such as economics, government, and management. Thus, itbecomes plausible to extend this framework to undergraduate STEM students, facilitating aprocess of self-design, self-innovation, and self-transformation, wherein the student assumes therole of the designer and their academic path becomes the product [10-16]. While acknowledgingthat students are far from being simple products, the analogy offers valuable insights. Ourstudents bring forth a diverse array of skills and face an array of challenges.
