Findings related to African American student andalumni participation in the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) mirror several findingsfrom the study of Latina/o students in the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE).Specifically, results from the two studies share three common themes. Participants describeNSBE and SHPE as 1) providing opportunities for or explicitly emphasizing the development ofprofessional and leadership skills; 2) having access to an engineering role model or becoming arole model themselves; and 3) creating a family-like support system.

educational involvement, student learning, and autonomy.1. IntroductionTraditional models of faculty time management show distinct lines drawn between the areas ofresearch and teaching. Junior faculty are tacitly advised to spend as little time on teaching aspossible. In the book “What They Didn’t Teach You in Graduate School”1, the authors echo theview of teaching and research as separate activities, “Some people want to become professors,love to teach, and believe research is a necessary evil to get their ticket punched.” Contrary to thetraditional advice given to faculty and researchers, we are increasingly seeing crossoversbetween teaching and research activities. Many faculty care deeply about the education of futureengineers, and the lines

, University of Delaware, Newark, DEIntroduction First Year Experience (FYE) engineering courses at large, research-focused universitiespresent a unique challenge from a curricular and administrative perspective. Prior researchindicates large lecture-style courses should be interdisciplinary and highly interactive, whilesimultaneously presenting enough technical and career-specific content within each engineeringdiscipline to aid or reinforce students’ choices of majors [1-5]. These course characteristics aremost effectively supported by student-centered pedagogical approaches, such as Problem BasedLearning (PBL) [7,8], where experienced faculty instructors provide some course structure withperiodic lectures and ample time for break-out

Currently, there are seven million students in community colleges nationally andover two million students in public California community colleges [3, 4]. Understanding andimproving pathways to engineering via the community college route has the potential tocontribute currently untapped engineering talent to help fill the projected engineer deficit.Metrics should be established in order to assess the current rate of success and identify areas ofimprovement in community college transfer programs.Background on transfer program goalsSuccess of engineering transfer programs can be defined by how well it meets its objectives.

Awards are made in four tiers: • Tier 1: $4,000 for two consecutive semesters enrolled in two transfer level STEM courses each semester during one academic year. • Tier 2: $5,000 for two consecutive semesters enrolled in three transfer level STEM courses in one semester and two during the other semester of one academic year. • Tier 3: $6,000 for two consecutive semesters enrolled in three transfer level STEM courses

The assessment wasadministered midway through the semester, at which point students had been working with theirteam for approximately two months and therefore would have knowledge of the teamworkcapabilities of their group members. Students were assured that their responses would remainanonymous.The approach used by ITP Metrics involves the distribution of 10*(k-1) points across one’s teammembers (k = number of team members; teams consisted of three or four members, meaning thedistribution was out of 20 or 30 points) for each of the five teamwork competencies
