Angelo State University (ASU), a primarily undergraduateinstitution, located in San Angelo, Texas, USA, serves students from this city and neighboringrural regions of West Texas. The student subgroups of interest include Latinx and female studentsin an undergraduate engineering program. Adequately serving these subgroups is critical giventhat it is expected that new Latino workers will account for 78% of all new workers between 2020and 2030 [18] hence colleges must adopt best practices to prepare Latino and remove obstaclesthat hamper their graduation rates.

They investigated the various solar thermal technologies to determinewhich type was most appropriate for the campground. Although the heat exchanger in an indirectsystem increases the complexity and decreases thermal efficiency, the interns selected this typeof system to ensure adequate freeze protection. They also researched energy efficient lightingequipment for the campground and refrigerators for the residence and studied Americans withDisabilities Act guidelines for lighting levels and spatial requirements in public restrooms.Periodic consultations with park staff ensured

invest time, because thestudent needs a grade to graduate. But paid undergraduate research or work-study summerprojects are not always conductive. The reason is students prefer internships in a company, evenif it pay less, because the company may employ them and they experience industry.Some engineering students have high integrity and are perfectionists, that they continue workingon a project after they receive grades for the course.Faculty AdvisorThe faculty advisor must be enthusiastic about the given project. For every project the authorhas spent extensive time with the students. Before assigning any project the author has a certainidea and expectations. But the students were left to come with their own ideas based on theirstrengths. Most of
of them as faculty, they are proud of themselves for the accomplishment.ConclusionsThe creation of this capstone has spurred a great deal of further study and research including: 1. The analysis of Project Based Learning (PBL) as it relates to construction related curricula. 2. The analysis of interdisciplinary teams and peer assessments. 3. How to recognize and assess the benefit of industry classroom partners. 4. Analysis of how teamwork training may benefit the outcomes of senior projects.Over the next year, the program team will continue its work and collect data for future expandedreporting on assessment methods for multi-disciplinary teams, best-practices derived from ourPBL experiences, additional collaborations in the

That appeals to me as an engineer.” While participantsconveyed appreciation for the short video vignettes and case studies, the curricular resource thatwas most often lauded was the deck of playing cards with positive leadership concepts on them.That two faculty members spontaneously pulled out the card decks during the interviews attestedto their everyday utility for application of program concepts.
