The program was initiated in response to the identification of ahigh percentage of SUU students with these disadvantages and to the realization that supportingthese students could increase retention at SUU in the STEM disciplines. In addition, the programseeks to help provide skilled scientists

However, the interconnectedness of these two seemingly disparategoals within the mission are able to be achieved simultaneously and can enhance the futureofficer’s development.

Engineering Education, 2018 New Course Development and Assessment Tools in Automotive Lightweighting TechnologiesAbstractAutomotive industry traditionally has reduced weight primarily by downsizing. Today,the strategy of downsizing vehicle has reached its limits. The OEMs are also facingsubstantial increases in Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) regulations in the U.S.and the other global markets. In this context, engineering students need to understandthe underlying contributors that significantly play a role in vehicle Lightweighting. Oneof the main contributors is the appropriate use of a variety of high strength andlightweight materials to meet the mass (weight) targets. Another aspect and a morechallenging issue is that
. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Pilot study on experience of engineering students in multimedia-enhanced introductory Physics labsIntroduction Both literature [1] [2] and anecdotal evidence suggest that students, on average, do notcritically read textbooks before coming to class. This lack of student preparedness is detrimentalto creating an active and engaging learning environment. The increase in students’ reliance onmobile phones and computers over books, further exacerbates this issue. While previous studieshave shown that students learn better from reading print texts over digital texts [3], the studentsexhibit clear preference for digital medium; in addition to that, forcing
c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Using Lean Principles to Improve an Engineering Technology Assessment ProcessIntroductionA commitment to quality engineering technology education requires a well-defined process ofcontinuous improvement, as well as a commitment to maintenance and management of that plan.According to Juran [1], managing for quality requires three components: 1. Planning - to determine and understand who the customers are and how to respond to their needs with appropriate processes. 2. Control - to evaluate how well the processes are meeting those needs, as well as providing feedback to all constituents 3. Improvement - to maintain and further improve the
