FACULTY DEVELOPMENT INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION CONCLUSION 2 Page 17.34.3 INTRODUCTION Higher education makes a vital contribution to sustainable development through the generation and dissemination of knowledge. The effective management of this domain merits top priority at a time when Universities face critical challenges due to unprecedented expansion in demand. Education, at all levels, will continue to grow, because it cultivates the human mind and makes people important and useful in the all-round development of a country. 3
a dynamic and competitiveenvironment1. Each engineering program seeking accreditation must have in place a processbased on the needs of the program’s various constituencies in which the objectives aredetermined and evaluated1. For this purpose, a systematic approach for educational processimprovement and reengineering is needed. Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a quality improvement tool for determiningcustomer requirements and translating them into product or service specifications. QFD hasbeen applied for extracting customer requirements, as well as for designing elements based onthose requirements in both university settings and other educational institutions in previousstudies 2,3,4,5. However, only the question of what is
Program (NDEP) is building a foundation for the future STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) workforce needs of the Department ofDefense (DoD) by supporting science and math programs at the pre-college,undergraduate/graduate, and faculty/postdoctoral levels. At the pre-college (K-12) level, NDEP-supported outreach activities feature in-school, summer camp, and after-school activities withparticular emphasis on math-focused, DoD scientist-and-engineer mentored, hands-on, problem-based learning experiences. This paper is devoted to describing both the composition and theassessments of two K-12 level, NDEP-supported, outreach activities of the U.S. Air Force.Background and MotivationThe DoD recognizes the downward trend shown by

engineering students’ intrinsic motivation, sense of belonging, and perception of campus climateAbstractColleges and universities offer mentoring programs to assist students’ academic and professionalgrowth. This paper contrasts two peer mentoring strategies, one-on-one (PAIR) and networkmentoring (GROUP for on-campus and GOAL for remote students), employed by an e-mentoringprogram developed to remain connected with students during the 2020 pandemic. The program wasoffered at a Purdue university that transitioned to a hybrid campus (a mixture of in-person andonline classes) to address social distancing challenges. A total of 124 female engineering studentswere surveyed one time at the end of the mentoring cycle. Our findings
