intriguing adjustment to STEM curricula, whichrenovates out of class activities for the reality of the search engine era.Another approach for hierarchical technology enabled STEM delivery is the Online ClassroomModel (OCM). The purpose of the OCM is the guidance of the design, implementation, andassessment of online education systems utilizing four learning theory oriented components andthree human–computer interaction principles. This model promotes augmented face-to-faceinteractions by offering several features, such as collaborative multimedia presentation, virtuallaboratory, social and collaborative Q&A community, and a robust communication framework tothe online classroom 8.

O No opinion regarding feasibility.Table 1: The acceptability and feasibility rubric for the CEPC survey completed by the CivilEngineering Department Heads.Each participant was invited to make free-form comments on any of the criteria at the end of thesurvey. The presentation was interspersed with a lively question and answer session. There wasa fair amount of skepticism from the audience in the Q&A session, punctuated with some openhostility to the prospect of more demanding accreditation program criteria. However, the post-session survey results from 59 respondents reflected a more balanced view of this effort.Figure 1 shows the survey
like a surprise to me that it was kind of like that. I was excited for the class. But what I saw that really what I was spending my time on was just trial and error and making things work. If we had time to like pull apart the fan and be like oh look there's the gear that actually makes the Q run. Or like there's the point that like sends the signal, um. I don't. It doesn't give me any negative connotation on engineering whatsoever.

The facilitator also meets the students, and actively promotes introductionsamong the students to increase opportunities for networking. Activities are also widelyadvertised on social media platforms.Seminars which have worked well for UMBC, UMCP, and UMB through the PROMISESummer Success Institute (SSI),2 which also attract underrepresented students, internationalstudents, and majority students from multiple disciplines, often serve students at a variety oflevels, e.g., first year, M.S. thesis year, Ph.D. candidate.
