We also assume the impact of peer recruiters isgreater on juniors and sophomores who are less likely to have made up their minds about collegeplans thus pushing the impact to Fall 2007 and 2008 even though peer recruiters started in 2006.We expect that with two more years of data we will be able to see how our recruiting efforts areimpacting enrollment by comparing it with national trend data for engineering enrollment.What benefits does the recruiter student her/himself receive? “It is always very rewarding when I see students on campus that had attended one of my past school visits and are now current freshmen.”This quote from a student ambassador

STEMcareers [16, 17, 18]. Program teachers offer varied, hands-on projects in their engineeringclassrooms that are practical, but also community minded, artful, or even musical. This approachto an introduction to engineering course is theorized to attract the creative problem solver neededto succeed in the field of engineering. See Appendix A for the ENGR 102 HS teachingobjectives and learning outcomes. While the focus of this paper is gender and student self-efficacy, much more information about ENGR 102 HS in comparison to other dual creditprograms, the quality of instruction and the logistics of the EPICS High community serviceprogram and the GC DELI online units can be found in previous work by the authors [1, 15, 19,20, 21].During a given

Society For Engineering Education7.0 When to Approach College AdministratorsBefore presenting a new program such as the professional engineer graduate program touniversity administration, there are several principles that must be kept in mind. Briefly, they areas follows: - Do not go to the administration requesting funds. Administrators know from many passed experiences that when unsolicited visits by faculty are made, at some point a request for funding will be forthcoming. These requests are usually accompanied by statements from the faculty member to the effect that the funded project will surely be successful – a promise usually made without any meaningful substantiation. - Have funding in hand

I do not believe that my fellow math majorsconfronted the questions that were in my mind as an engineer. By the 1990’s more teachingmathematicians were willing to promote graphics and the calculus reform movement came intofashion with slogans such as, “lean and lively” and “pump not a filter.”Perhaps the rigor that was conventionally required of mathematics majors is not appropriate forengineering students. I am suggesting that math teachers consider replacing class time spent ondelta-epsilon arguments with visual thinking. Page 14.1354.3This paper
