volunteers to network with the professional volunteers during the camp; (b) Recruit volunteers from other than the “usual suspects” groups (that is, look for ways to include other professional women who might not have the opportunity through their work and professional networks to do similar outreach activities).It is also clear that the student volunteers saw their involvement as a professional developmentopportunity in which they fully engaged. This can be built upon more intentionally withpreparation and follow-on activities in the future.AcknowledgmentsWe gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Society for Women EngineeringSouthwest Idaho section, the Micron Foundation, Idaho National Laboratory, the

This is asignificant accomplishment because these counties have been competing for more than 20 years.Our next step is to prove our baseline by conducting one or more pilot projects in 2016.References1 Ortiz, T., Holloway, B., Harris, M., Pluckebaum, A. and Jamieson, L.

Additionally, 19.4% did notidentify their interest by the beginning of the semester. The majority of students were males(83.3%). Students came from diverse ethnic background. Overall, the demographic compositionof the first cohort aligned with that of the college. Finally, all students self-identified their pastacademic success within the “A” to “B” range.The faculty fellows developed a set of values to ensure that an overarching goal of preparing anew generation of technologists and engineers was achieved:17,16

The UAS was functionally complete, and wasflown by the expert pilot (the hobby store owner) as part of a choreographed test regime.Because the first flight occurred at the beginning of December, further testing must waitfor better weather.

He asked me my major, and informed me that was also his background and proceeded to say this: “This may be the first B you’re going to make in a course, but it most certainly won’t be your last.” Similar to the suggestions for educators who would like to support students as it relates to their isolating experiences, in order to address the lack of support educators can take a genuine interest in the success of their students. By developing meaningful relationships that focus on the student's’ priorities and providing advice and support that can advance their goals, educators have the opportunity to provide encouragement at critical points.

Funding for projects comes from an endowment provided by a largeindustry partner of the institution and various donations for the specific projects.Due to University B being a smaller private institution with 14 undergraduate majors in theCollege of Engineering, it is commonplace to have interdisciplinary capstone design teams madeup of students from two or more engineering or science majors. Projects are housed in a specificdepartment but capstone design instructors work together on interdisciplinary projects to ensureall requirements for each discipline are met to

(desire to eliminate incongruity). Curiosity (motivated behavior) leads to improved understanding (learning), if the incongruity in humor message is relevant to what is to be learned.From a theoretical perspective, then, the successful use of humor depends on (a) the humormessage capturing the attention of the learner and being relevant and appropriate, and (b) thelearner resolving the incongruity in the humor message. Empirical research into the instructionalvalue of humor, however, has yielded inconsistent results, largely because learning is anemergent property that results from the interaction of the many factors at work in any classroom.Some of these are under the instructor’s control, but many are not.

The answers on this ques-tion are interesting, as 8 of the 11 participants actually reported that their answers changed.The following statements will be given as examples in order to display the students’ thoughts: • Student A: “I think they are same. I had already experienced working with people from different culture. I was able to apply that experience and improve my skills.” • Student B: “Somehow. I got a more realistic view towards my feelings to this issue.” • Student C: “Yes, my answers have changed by a
