Standing Out from the Crowd: Opportunities for Research and Work Abroad in Engineering Dr. Kathleen Condray, University of Arkansas The benefits of an experience abroad are indisputable; students can improve languageskills and cultural fluency, learn to think in new ways, and experience world masterworks of art,architecture, and engineering first hand. Obviously, these benefits also make students moreattractive to potential employers. Time abroad can also help universities with retention as thestudents return with a renewed sense of purpose after encountering such life-changingexperiences. Because engineering students face a rigorous plan of study, however, few

Sincestudents in the microEP program were projected to be substantiallyoriented toward industrial careers, the Cohort Methodology was createdto give them practice in the behaviors that would most strongly benefitthem in organizations with large common goals.The Cohort Methodology was recognized as an interesting new approach toPhD education in 1999 when the microEP graduate program won a NSF IGERTgrant for $2.5 million to support its experiment in PhD education. Thetactics implemented in this grad program have had the result ofpreparing microEP graduates for early career success in both industryand academics, as well as resulting in a supportive work groupatmosphere that has been attractive to underrepresented group students.The

Workshop on Student Retention through Better Advising, Carol Gattis, University ofArkansas One proven way to increase student retention, especially during the freshman and sophomore years, is to improve advising. Research shows that by improving the quality of advising, and including more than just what classes a student should take, the freshman retention rate can be significantly improved. In addition, research shows that for 4-year public colleges and universities, students rate academic advising as the most important aspect of their educational experience, along with instructional effectiveness. In engineering, rarely are faculty given advisor training. Many advisors say they would like

Filling the Gap: Philosophical Foundations of the Maker Movement Thomas Ask Professor of Industrial and Human Factors Design Pennsylvania College of TechnologyAbstractThe maker movement exploits a gap in what Kuhn refers to as “normal science”. The makermovement promotes experimentation and whimsy. It equally embraces old and new materialsand technology in pursuing the maker’s vision of the completed object. Making also fitslogically into the Kolb Cycle of experiential learning with its routing through episodes of feeling,watching, thinking and doing.
