These group functioned as independent, close-knitenvironments that enabled students to share their thoughts and seek guidance without inhibitions.The connection between financial wellbeing and female retention was explored by Yang6, byexamining whether a financial incentive such as student loan repayment awarded upongraduation influenced undergraduate women’s retention and academic achievement inengineering. Their findings revealed that loan repayment award not only had a positive influenceon completion rates, but also influenced completion by a greater variety of students in terms ofGPAs. The

-Madison, rubymaser@yahoo.com)AbstractEfforts to broaden participation in science and engineering (STEM) are of national importance.This paper describes the development and implementation of teaching strategies for theWisconsin Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (WiscAMP) Excel program. Theprogram involves: 1) selecting underrepresented minority (URM) students majoring in scienceand engineering whose first year academic performance indicates they are at risk for leavingSTEM; and 2) providing an intensive 8-week immersion experience in STEM scholarship,research, academic and career exploration and advising. Collectively program faculty membershave identified a shared programmatic strategy with respect to supporting students

Students strongly indicated that the program was an importantbridge between their undergraduate and graduate careers and that important knowledge, skills,and interests were developed as a result. One of the main self-perceived deficiencies of studentsentering the program was technical communication, and gains were achieved in this area bystructuring biweekly program-wide meetings around developing relevant skills.

Identity of an Engineering Technology GraduateEngineering graduates identify themselves as a person formally educated in engineering, whobelongs to a group of people practicing engineering. How does the person holding anengineering technology degree career identify? The lack of differentiating research betweenengineering and engineering technology graduates results in less knowledge about self-identification by the engineering technology graduate. Many believe that the positions held byengineering technology graduates further define their self-identity, as they are titled eitherengineers or technologists.Identity research focuses on career trajectory in the graduate student population. This focusplaces research in academia. Methods used to analyze

These are sectorsthat produce a substantial fraction of our gross national product, and, in the case of financial services, a steadypositive balance of payments, but have received very little attention from engineering schools.Engineering in Financial Services Financial services are beginning to employ engineers in growing numbers.

Engineering Students Select a MajorAbstractThis evidence-based practice paper evaluates a set of resources to help first-year engineeringstudents choose their major among four fields. Choosing a major can be a daunting task for first-year college students, especially if the choices span fields with which students have littleexperience. In order to provide first-year engineering students time to discern, a set of resourcesand course activities were designed to assist students in this decision-making process. Theeducational theory that serves as a framework for this study is social cognitive career theory,developed by Lent, Brown, and Hackett in 1994. In particular, resources, activities, andexperiences in the introduction to engineering course were

Studies at other institutions [6,8] have similarly found students respond positively towards computational skills when askedquestions such as “I feel computation (data visualization, modeling, and simulation algorithmdesign) will be useful in my career” [9]. Both studies found no significant change in theseattitudes before and after completing CMSE modules. However, these studies do not provide abasis for comparison to other topics; as Ref.

They further rationalized that collegewas
