Other qualitative successes included students continuing theirextracurricular involvement in career-focused work after the program ended. The next step forthis research study is to conduct interviews with the students from prior cohorts to gainadditional insight into the potential broader impact of the program on student’s confidencewithin academia and in preparation for their future profession.

Software such as MATLAB and Simulink are sometimes utilized in lecturesto make it more appealing through visual representations of communication signals and systems.Nevertheless, students may struggle to understand some of the abstract concepts. This isespecially true in the electrical engineering technology classroom where the focus is more on a‘hands on’ approach with less mathematical rigor. In such a scenario as this, the question wasasked, “how can students be engaged in the classroom in a way that enhances their learning oftelecommunications fundamentals?” A novel approach was presented as a response to thepreceding

The objective of this study is to understand the impact the STEM Center has had on increasing the number of STEM students who are transfer-ready and who transfer to 4-year institutions.2. Background and literature review Previous research on transfer of community colleges to 4-year institutions have suggested that student characteristics, background, and academic preparations are significant factors contributing to a student’s successful transfer. Student characteristics that consistently contribute to higher transfer rates include being younger, having higher socioeconomic status, and better academic preparation in high school3

In addition, it is recognized that stresstends to be the norm rather than the exception in the field of engineering. Living in constantstress and learning to live with it become a rite of passage for aspiring engineers measuring up tocurrent standards in highly demanding majors. In this environment, a lack of sleep, anddeprivation from social and leisure time become badges of honor that subconsciously measurebelonginess.

Clickers can be used to ensure studentsunderstand fundamental concepts by providing instant feedback to the instructor about studentknowledge gaps or misconceptions [1]. The use of clickers also helps maintain students’motivation and engagement in what’s going on in class, and provides an opportunity for PeerInstruction (PI).

One of the main pillars of the program is to expose studentsat the community college level to undergraduate research so that when they transfer, they have hadequitable access to similar experiences as their university and white student counterparts.The framework presented is supported by research that shows that 1) undergraduate research is ahigh impact

Prosocial engagement is a key variable inunderstanding the formation of the engineering workforce because it contributessimultaneously to the recruitment and retention of students who want to work incollaborative environments (Diekman, 2017) and shapes the culture of the

In response, we proposed a study that tests the causal relationship between how faculty's effective communication affects students' motivation in capstone design projects.

gains [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]. Yet, outside of time-consuming observation protocols [8, 9],little systematic work has been done in characterizing classroom activities, due in part to a lackof proper instrumentation [10]. Additionally, students can engage in activities in very differentways than instructors intend [1, 2], so it is important to account for the student perspective. Thispaper reports current progress towards an effort to develop and rigorously assess a student surveyinstrument aimed at this purpose in post-secondary STEM classrooms: the Student Class Activityand Engagement Instrument (SCAEI).The SCAEI is based on Chi’s Interactive, Constructive, Active, and Passive (ICAP) framework[1, 2] .
