Education, 2023AbstractIt is well-known that first-generation and low-income students are less likely to succeed andpersist in college than their more affluent peers. To help address this, a non-profit was founded toprovide support to these students. The organization houses the Tutor Training FellowshipProgram where Tutor Fellows receive three-fold support in the form of tutor training, workexperience, and scholarship. The work experience comes in the form of free tutoring to low-income middle and high school students. Additional support is provided through free mentalhealth counseling and professional development workshops. Through this program, students alsofind a community of similar students who support each other through graduation and

IntroductionOver recent years, many manufacturing engineering or technology graduates work in positionsrequiring familiarity with computer-aided engineering analysis as well as design andmanufacturing process. They are asked to utilize commercial software for simpledesign/manufacturing analysis, such as performing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in fixture andtooling design to ensure required function. The main reason for this shift is integration ofanalysis at early stages of

Members of the ITprogram faculty decided this service did not need to end because of his graduation. Aftermeetings with Intern 1 and the student ‘onsite’ supervisor, the IT program faculty establishedanother internship to continue this valuable work.The new intern, Intern 2, was also a graduating senior. Intern 2 was excited about becominginvolved. He talked with the previous intern and studied the notes, diagrams, and a Wiki createdfor network developers to communicate. Since Intern 2 was not there as the network wasdeveloped, he had to rely on the student ‘onsite’ supervisor when the reference notes didn’tsupply

There is a lot of subjectivityinvolved in this type of evaluation. We are not aware if ASEE and/or ABET have addressed thisissue; NSPE position is given in Appendix III. Recognizing work experience equivalent to anengineering degree when a person has had no formal education at the college or university levelis of paramount importance to the engineering profession since ‘engineers’ without a degree andconsidered to have satisfied
