we could enhance undergraduate education in engineering. The course has routinely filledto capacity and has received very positive evaluations. A committee of faculty from across the Institute hasembraced it as one of a handful of courses satisfying the ethics requirement in electrical engineering. Many of theideas developed for our course have recently been incorporated into a required senior course in electricalengineering entitled “Project Engineering and Professional Practice.” Most important of all, we have established amodel that might not only diffuse to other departments of electrical engineering, but which might also be adapted toother disciplines of engineering.References1.

educational intervention programs for minority studentsinclude the following components: (a) intensive monitoring of participants, (b) an articulatedprogram that reaches across grade levels, (c) consistent messages to raise aspirations, (d)building group cohesion and a sense of membership in the school and the program, and (e)access to rigorous curriculum and support to succeed in that curriculum. The UW GenomicsOutreach for Minorities (GenOM) Project is an undergraduate research program forunderrepresented ethnic minorities that focuses on not only these four components, but also ondeveloping career pathways in science and engineering. This program not only provideseducational and research opportunities for underrepresented minority students

This decides the total number of points available for the team. Individuals withinthe team are allocated points from within the total number of points based on instructorobservations, TA observations, and peer evaluations. It is not at all uncommon for some teammembers to get high grades (A or A-) while others get grades at the B or C level. Once, therewere four (A to A-) level grades and one F grade for a team of five students.Interim Individual Progress Reports -- In spring 2012
