, whethernegative or positive, provided feedback to improve the course. Although students value in-person interactions over technology-based interactions, technology is a good ally to fostercommunity and aid the learning process.IntroductionEngaging students in the classroom is always challenging for instructors, but research suggeststhat motivation can be sparked by appealing to students’ desire to make a positive impact on theworld [1], [2]. Keshwani and Curtis [2] found that sophomore students in biological engineeringare motivated by the opportunity to make this world a better place, help others solve problems,and improve other people's lives. Keshwani and Keshwani [3] provided evidence that 67% ofbiological engineering students, who participated in a

-Lincoln has embarked on a department-wide transformation of advising and retentionpractices to support undergraduate student success. The department has three undergraduatemajors across two different colleges. The motivation for the transformation included rapidlychanging advising systems and processes at the institutional level, institutional goals forretention and graduation rates, faculty, and staff desire to enhance student belonginess in thedepartment, and increased faculty-staff partnership. The theoretical framework used for thetransformation was the ecological validation model designed to foster student success byfocusing on the strengths, needs, and experiences of students. The model is based on sevenbehavioral norms and was

To best solve theseenvironmental challenges, society needs college graduates ready to enter workforce that possessan understanding of natural processes along with the ability to incorporate these processes intotraditional engineering solutions. Therefore, a new course in Ecological Engineering and Science(EES

their differential equationscoursework to new concepts in their signal and system analysis course. Alternatively, studentsmay need to transfer their physics knowledge to their power systems design course. Thoughfundamental for success in engineering, very little research has investigated the transfer oflearning between basic math, science, and physics courses and the rest of the engineeringcurriculum, specifically through the eyes of students. As a result, little literature is available forhelping instructors assist students in transitioning into these courses. In addition, there is littleguidance for students seeking to learn best practices for transferring their learning. This paperpresents findings from interviews with current biological
