, all research projects were done at SFSU, and 23 internswere selected for the 5 research groups—two groups for Civil Engineering Group (Group A andGroup B), and one group each for Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering and MechanicalEngineering. The structure and design of the group research activities (including selection offaculty mentors) was based primarily on SFSU faculty interest and availability to participate inthe summer program.Table 2.

one of the three states, students who complete an associate’s degree at acommunity or other state college or university are given preferential admission at public, four-year institutions. Furthermore, some states have created “transfer blocks,” or sets of courses thatare often taken at a community college, which will transfer to a particular program if the studenthas earned passing grades in all the required courses. Five states with MIDFIELD institutionshave established transfer blocks for engineering; two of them include the engineering transferblocks as part of the associate’s degree, and students with satisfactory GPAs are guaranteedadmission to the MIDFIELD engineering schools in those states.Table 3 in Appendix B shows the range of

to succeed academically6. Some of these skillsinclude mindsets and attitudes, metacognition, time management, working with others,seeking help, and utilizing one’s peers and professors. The Introduction to Engineeringcourse is a prime venue and opportunity to help cultivate many of these skills forstudents.Two main resources were used in helping students develop these skills. One of theseresources is the textbook for the course “Studying Engineering: A Road Map to aRewarding Career” by Dr. Raymond B. Landis37. This book covers many of the topicslisted above in the context of beginning and pursuing engineering study. Receptivity tochange and personal growth are strong underlying themes in the text and the assignmentsbased around the readings

The course lecture resources should be flexible for use by a variety of instructors (novice and experienced) in a variety of delivery formats (e.g., flipped, online, blended). In particular, although the initial implementation and testing of the curriculum was in a “traditional” flipped format, future implementations were planned in which students from two or more different courses would be simultaneously performing student-centered activities under the guidance of a single instructor. C. As with all of the lab curricula in the CALSTEP project, the lab should aim to achieve the thirteen objectives for engineering educational laboratories
