the college experience of first-generation students who participate in the First-Generation Program and those who do not. Theauthors would like to incorporate some of the activities from the First-Generation Program intoother programs to help other first-generation students.IntroductionWest Virginia University Institute of Technology (WVU Tech) is a school with approximately1600 students that heavily recruits from the local area (historically Montgomery, WV andcurrently Beckley, WV) [1]. Approximately 35% of the student population of WVU Tech arefirst-generation and 66% are either first-generation or low income. Of the students admitted inFall 2017, only 19.38% had a general ACT score above 23 [1]. The goal of this research is toidentify and

Over two decades ago, ABET Engineering Criteria (i.e., EC2000) for thefirst time included professional skills, intended to address the demands for interpersonal skillsand global awareness among 21st Century engineers (Shuman, Besterfield‐Sacre, & McGourty,2005). In fact, a greater number of EC2000 a-k Student Outcomes pertain to professional skillsthan technical skills. This is even more the case in the current (1-7) Student Outcomes Criteria(ABET, n.d.). ABET’s reasoning behind including professional skills in Student Criteria inEC2000 is equally applicable to ABET’s current proposed inclusion of DEI elements into theGeneral Criteria: [To promote undergraduate engineering students’] ability to

A more balanced educational experience might be particularly relevant given thelarge number of folks with engineering degrees who work outside of engineering occupations;the NAE estimated that as of 2013 there were 65% of all degreed engineers who worked inoccupations not considered engineering [41]. The ABET EAC program criteria add additionalcurricular constraints on specialty degrees, with the majority of the identified aspects relating totechnical issues; programs accredited under the general criteria do not face these additionalrestrictions [42].

present our University’s efforts to contribute to this need by way of a hands-onactivity designed for high school students. The workshop was devised to achieve three primarygoals: 1) Encourage consideration of a career in electrical and computer engineering 2) Buildexcitement about the Internet-of-Things and provide students with a future technical focus and 3)Introduce students to the fundamental building blocks that make up the Internet-of-Things. Duringthis activity, students complete a project in which they first construct a circuit to read data from atemperature sensor using a microcontroller platform. The students then write software to transmitthat data over a short-range wireless network and then eventually to an Internet-connected

college students (FGCS) face considerable obstacles to college success,including a lack of role models in the family, a lack of familial mentoring and support, a lack offamiliarity with the college climate, and, generally, lower socioeconomic status [1-6]. They tendto be less academically prepared for college, and English is not their native language for a higherproportion than of continuing-generation college students (CGCS) [3]. However, in many ways,recent research suggests that FGCS are very similar to CGCS. They respond to the same factorsencouraging college persistence and success [7-8], and often demonstrate considerable “grit” inpursuing their undergraduate careers (9), a factor instrumental in undergraduate achievement.Indeed, Boone and

In order to represent the extensive impact thattechnical standards have on a wide range of industries, it was necessary that a variety of differentstandards bodies and faculty from various disciplines be represented.

However, students must have aknowledge that goes beyond mere theory. Fundamental knowledge, traditionally gained ineducational laboratories, provide a better base that is long lasting and easy to recall in futurebased on their experience and sensory memory. Learning styles vary person to person asdiscussed in many publications [1-5]. Since routine class lectures normally do not promoteactive learning and not every student can easily absorb and understand theoretical knowledgepresented in this kind of class setting, hands-on laboratory based assignments usually aremore effective in generating a greater

Although alignedtextbook readings are also noted for those that prefer that method of preparation, the vastmajority of students self-report that they only watch the videos to prepare for lecture.
