The ultimate goal is to create a TFAB for eachtechnical track in the curriculum (i.e. bioelectrical systems, communication systems etc.); thisapproach will provide industry and students with an opportunity to have direct input incontinuous curriculum improvement process, form networks, define capstone projects, seek outinternships and more. The TFAB concept is not new in the department, as the wireless systemsgroup have for over 20 years been engaging industry through their own industry advisory board.These interactions were initially focused on curriculum development and the integration ofindustry relevant tools in

Minority serving institutions, commuter campuses andinstitutions with a high percentage of student transfers are unable to keep a tightly controlledcohort of students progressing through the curriculum.

continue to be underrepresented in STEM fields. The STEM Scholars Pro-gram aims to increase the number of African-Americans in STEM fields by preparing high schoolstudents for the STEM college curriculum. Many first-time students enter college without any background knowledge in their chosenSTEM major. This lack of exposure puts them at a disadvantage, as they are learning coursematerial concurrently with basic STEM-related skills, such as computing and algorithmic think-ing. This program aims to train high school students in these skills to increase their interest andaptitude in STEM fields. As a result of this effort, students will be more prepared for STEM majorsand be more attractive to STEM programs. STEM Scholars is an academic year

IntroductionBecause “engineering programs must demonstrate that their graduates have: …an ability todesign a system, component, or process to meet desired needs,” and “an ability to function inmulti-disciplinary teams….”1, design is integrated to the engineering curricula through the use ofdesign teams.

The review sessions arevoluntary so it is not possible to enforce attendance at the sessions.Strategically, in order to circumvent this lack of student commitment the department has decidedto modify its curriculum to increase the lecture hours in one of the senior level required courseseach semester and integrate an FE review session into this regular course. By embedding reviewtopics into a mandatory course, students would essentially be compelled to attend the whole FEreview session without any conflict whatsoever.In the future, perhaps in the next three to five years, the authors would be willing to share anyfurther experience and findings with

The course content is equivalent to that of the surveying course offered in a regularsemester at the university; an objective of the program being to enhance instruction and supportwithout lowering the bar. Surveying was chosen as the first course to be offered becausefieldwork (outdoor activity), integral to the course, is attractive to students and thus helpful tosustain their interest. Because most surveying endeavors require group work, students get a tasteof working in teams to complete tasks. The ability to integrate applications of trigonometry,computer aided graphics and spreadsheets into the course is another reason
