Since the session is designed to explain detailed degreerequirements, through addressing the use of online audit tools, some students still need follow-upmeetings with their advisor to resolve their specific issues.4.3 Special Study GroupsThe CST department received a Perkins grant from the New York State Department of Educationin two consecutive academic years, 2013-2014 and 2014-2015. The grant supports a tutoring andmentoring program for first-year students in the CST department. The tutors and mentors areselected from senior students who were interviewed by the faculty coordinator to ensure that the

Forexample, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Aeronautics and SpaceAdministration (NASA) shared common observations about educational disparities in STEMdisciplines as related to African American students and have called for more intense research tostudy these issues. Many studies and reports have been written which indicate that African Americans needto be afforded extra efforts in critical thinking skills because of commonly observed educationaldisparities7, 8 (Darling-Hammond, 2000; Jibrell, 1990; Schorr, 2002).

StudyAbstractIt has been the consensus in the engineering community that sustainability and sustainable designneed to be a part of an engineer’s education for last two decades. Multiple approaches have beeninvestigated in terms of effectively integrating relevant contents and improving students’understanding. Examples include: offering technical electives (such as renewable energy,environmental impacts, etc.), establishing new concentrations focusing on sustainability issues,and integrating sustainable design throughout the curricula. However, effectively comprehendingsustainable design requires understanding multiple issues from a technical, social,environmental, and economic perspective. Moreover, existing studies show that the students’background

Wigal introduces these concepts through lecture material and hands-ondesign exercises and includes introduction of systems engineering tools such as objective trees,functional block diagrams and function node trees. The purpose of introducing these systemengineering methods is to get students thinking about complex relationships, in a non-linearfashion. Wigal discusses and presents systems thinking activities like “mind mapping” andbrainstorming to get students to begin thinking non-linearly and functionally, instead ofphysically.Existing Project-Based Engineering CourseEngineering faculty at the University of New Haven have designed a Project-Based Introductionto Engineering course with the objectives to introduce students to the
