For the typical STEMundergraduate, whether freshman or advanced, the art of thinking graphically seems largely nonex-istent. There are certainly some graphing aids available. Essentially every college freshman ownsa graphing calculator. They were required to use them in their middle-school and high-school mathcourses. But how many of those calculators provide enough

Briefly, the undergrads tend to view their advisor moreor less as they view parents: Old and perhaps even likeable, but not necessarily very well-informed in the latest technology, unlike their teachers in classes, or their friends’ bosses in theirCo-Op jobs, or the people they meet at Conferences or Career Fairs. The result is that they freelydiscuss their projects with their teachers and friends, and bring back insights from variousdisciplines. Thus, for example, the undergraduate-initiated project on Acoustic Shaping causedsome participants, 3 years into the project, to discover that their Physics teachers knew all aboutacoustics; this led them eventually to get (free) help from experts in Electrical Engineering tominiaturize their

Such qualities wouldsignificantly improve their performance in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics) career fields and education in general. Our exploration showed that much researchhas already been performed by other researchers to facilitate high schools in fostering STEMinterest with robots 6 -10.

Study results showed thatalthough GTAs could not be directly tied to retention they had a large amount of control overclassroom climate, which in turn did impact retention rates. Moreover, students cited GTAenthusiasm and attitude as facilitating the students‟ learning. Given the similarity of retentionand attrition issues across Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) fields, findingsfrom this study in science are very likely to be relevant to engineering.Graduate Teaching Assistants in EngineeringAccording to the National Academy of Engineering: “the essence of engineering – the

methods in this paper.BackgroundFounded in 1932 under the name Engineers' Council for Professional Development, ABET(formerly Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) accredits post-secondarydegree-granting programs. Many people interpret this to mean that ABET accredits departments,colleges, or even courses. In reality, ABET accredits programs, and your accreditation workshould reflect the program as a whole.Some programs treat the six-year time lag between visits with the following timeline: - Year 1 – Celebrate success of previous ABET visit. - Years 2-4 – Feel that ABET is a long time away. - Year 5 – Begin to worry about ABET visit the following year, and survey every class imaginable to be ready for year 6 with the
