Paper ID #38417Early Research Scholars Program at UIC AdjustmentsRenata A Revelo (Clinical Assistant Professor) Renata Revelo is a first-generation college student, migrated from Ecuador to the United States as a teenager with her parents and sister. She is the first in her family to obtain a Ph.D. She is currently a Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Illinois, Chicago in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Her research focuses on shifting the culture of engineering via the study of engineering identity which centers students of color and examines systemic change.Joseph

theseteam skills should be part of the grading process. Combining the evaluation of the projectmeeting the stated criteria and the individual’s ability to apply team skills should allowassignment of individual grades in a group project.The course where these methods have been applied is a first year Engineering design andcommunications course taken by Associate and Baccalaureate degree students in a variety ofEngineering and Engineering Technology majors. In response to the student population, thecourse uses a series of projects that emphasis creation of documentation including formal reports,drawings, web pages, and other presentation methods. The projects take approximately twoweeks to complete with a total of four projects and a final project in
expansions in the East Bay and SFO Airport at three billion to the New Starts program for the Federal Transit Administration with over a hundred projects and $85 billion in construction value. At the latter, he also acted as source selection board chairman and program COTR for $200 plus million in task order con- tracts for engineering services. Working for the third-largest transit agency in the United States, the Los Angeles County MTA, Michael managed bus vehicle engineering for $1 billion in new acquisitions and post-delivery maintenance support for 2300 vehicles with some of the most complex technology (natural gas engines and embedded systems) in the US transit industry in the 1990s. Michael also has extensive
support. The Program initially started in 1989 with full implementation in 1997.The program goal is to give the engineering graduates the education and training needed to solveproblems related to the design and implementation for GE Transportation. The specific programobjectives are:≠ Provide GE Transportation with a stream of well-trained engineering workforce.≠ Provide GE Transportation with professional expertise and local resources to assist with advanced technologies.≠ Provide graduate students with a curriculum focusing on mechanical/electromechanical, thermal/fluid, electrical, electronic, and software systems.≠ Provide/develop courses in the subject areas related to the activities and needs of GE Transportation.Program

research and development, most remotely-accessiblelaboratories have remained as isolated technical novelties, with most projects being shutdownonce their initial funding runs out. This point is reflected in the fact that most works in theliterature address only the technical merits and potential benefits of remote access technologies, Page 14.1209.2rather than addressing the impact of remote experimentation on engineering pedagogy. Clearly, anew fundamentally different approach to remotely-accessible laboratories is required.Recently, a new paradigm for remotely-accessible laboratories, namely the eLaboratory, wasintroduced by the authors5.

some teaching practices are more effective than others when teaching science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects; however, there are very fewinstances where these teaching practices are measured within university constructs. Along withprevious research, there has been a nationwide push for the adoption of research-based teachingpractices in STEM classrooms. We conducted a verbal survey interview with engineeringfaculty, using a modified “Teaching Practices Inventory,” to determine the teaching practicesthat are actively utilized in their respective classrooms [6]. Each faculty received individualfeedback and advice related to his or her responses and collective data was used to determinewhere improvements can be made on a

Today we’re here to share a practice that has been working well for us in getting young women interested in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) fields.The program is called WISE—Women in Science and EngineeringWe want to share the realities of mentoring high school students from inner city public schools versus private schools in STEM research at an R1 University. 2First we’ll discuss the purpose of our presentation, then we’ll go into a detailed description of our program, provide some history about the program and changes that have happened along
the professorexchanged ideas, followed a format they had discussed and spent time developing a relationship oftrust. Similarly with the students, the rapport in Case 2 was exceptional, student-teacher, teacher-student. Student ratings in Case 2 were exceptional. And, just to test the hypothesis that highratings come from easy courses, graduates of this engineering technology program are focusingtheir graduate study in the subject area of this professor and are doing top quality work.ConclusionThe advice is simple; find a mentor and learn to teach. Success and the attainment of tenure canbe an individual project but it doesn’t have to be. Help is often available; seek it out. Attendteaching workshops, attend research workshops, learn from

Creative Approach to Teaching Project Management Service Learning Roya Javadpour California Polytechnic State UniversityIntroductionA project is a complex, non-routine, one-time effort limited by time, budget, resources,and performance specifications designed to meet customer needs[1]. Therefore, theyrequire a unique approach to management and administration. A creative approach istaken in designing and teaching the graduate level Technological Project Managementcourse offered as part of the Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering department’sprogram at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. The coursecovers the basic
metric representing the associatedperformance so as to be used as a comparison between other similar devices. It is simply atest to compare performance that may be used to aid the selection of equipment. There iscurrently a wide range of benchmarking programs readily available. Primarily thesestandards fall into one of three categories - trade magazines, standards organizations suchas SPEC and TPC (Ideas International) and finally individuals. There is a wide range ofBenchmarks and often a collection of them is used, a possible advantage being that others Page 6.234.1 Proceedings of the 2001 American Society for Engineering Education
