Design pillar course iscomplemented by a two-credit Safety and Ethics course. The block-schedule curriculum doesnot add more credits compared to a traditional curriculum, but instead uses the hours moreeffectively through restructuring (e.g., combining two separate thermodynamics courses offeredin consecutive terms into a single thermodynamics pillar course). This provides larger blocks oftime for students to actively engage in learning in the classroom with the support of the instructorand allows for a hands-on unit operations laboratory experience for five consecutive semestersfor the students in parallel with their core courses.Table 1 provides the sequence of courses and labs which make up our core curriculum.

Most of the students (Cohort 1-9) have been enrolled in MS programs atBrooklyn College, City College, Hunter College, John Jay College, the College of Staten Island,Lehman College, Queens College and directly in the doctoral programs at the CUNY GraduateCenter. The NYC LSAMP Cohorts at CUNY were not based at any one campus site, as theCUNY Graduate Center on inception of the program was the primary institution that grants theDoctoral degree in CUNY. Bridge to the Doctorate Scholars were engaged in a series ofactivities designed and implemented to ensure the transition to doctoral programs. Theseactivities serve to create a learning community of scholars across the campuses given the factthat the

focused on factors that relate to university initiatives.I. IntroductionIn the 2018 report, Graduate STEM education for the 21st century, the National Academies ofScience, Engineering, and Medicine stresses the need to have representation of all segments ofsociety in graduate schools and change the trend of exclusion in STEM fields [1]. In engineeringsome underrepresented minorities (URM), have significantly low representation in Ph.D.programs. This is the case for African Americans, who received only the 3.5% of doctorates inEngineering in 2015; Native American, 0.25%; Pacific Islands 0.021%, and Hispanic American,6.19%. [1]To help URM students to overcome the challenges they face as minorities in their doctorate, wecreated the Rising Doctoral

The higher education environment ingeneral and engineering education environment in particular incorporate to some degree criticalthinking-based pedagogies such as open-ended problems, and design exercises [2], [3].Recognizing relevant information and identifying dependencies are essential elements of criticalthinking. The process of critical thinking becomes intellectually more demanding if thedependencies between various pieces of information are either ill-defined or not defined. Thereal-life problem space spans the spectrum of full information about the variables

Itis particularly important to make sure your brain is not exhausted and not losing its thinkingcapabilities. It has been found that both focus, and un-focus are vital for efficiency, thinking,and learning. When the brain is unfocused, it uses the energy to activate old memories, goesback and forth between past, present, and future, and reinforces imaginative and creativethinking [1].A study conducted at the University of British Columbia [2] suggests that people who arestruggling to

We also assess each outcome in at least one other course, typicallyin a way that is analogous to a corresponding activity in capstone. Thus, our capstone sequenceand our assessment system are woven together. This paper describes our assessment tools,focusing on their use in capstone; many of the tools are used together to overcome the challengesnoted above.In describing a comprehensive assessment system for the current ABET student outcomes, thispaper is similar in approach to some previous ones.

At a high level, case studiesacross Botswana (Tabulawa, 2003), South Africa (Harley et. al, 2000; Nykiel-Herbet 2004), andTanzania (Vavrus, 2009) highlight four salient barriers to curricular change: 2 1. Educators’ training on and personal experiences in learner-centered approaches is often limited (Coultas and Lewin, 2002; Schweisfurth, 2015); 2. A lack of available resources in physical learning environments can inhibit implementation of learner-centered approaches (Schweisfurth, 2015) 3. Cultural expectations at the institutional and national level (eg., appropriate educator

andcost-effective methods due to its energy density. It offers a vast range of speed and torque. Animportant characteristic of a hydraulic system is the multiplication of force. Because of this feature,hydraulics are pioneers in the field of heavy load handling. Large load handling would requiresophisticated electronic control and extensive mechanical arrangements with lots of gears andpulleys if tried to execute without hydraulics. A hydraulic circuit consists of some majorcomponents such as prime mover, pump, fluid conductor (hose, tubing, pipe), reservoir, directionalcontrol valve, and hydraulic actuator (cylinder and motor). It also consists of additional supportcomponents such as pressure relief valve, filter, and pressure gauge. Figure 1

Clear and cogent writingand communication skills are critical competencies as identified by ABET (Accreditation Boardfor Engineering and Technology) [1], and the National Academy of Engineering [2]. Today’ssuccessful engineer must master more than one competency (see figure 1), includingcommunication and writing skills, which comprise between 20%-40% of an engineer’s workday:writing project proposals, memoranda, business letters, and e-mails
