Table 3: GUIDE Scholar Demographics (Fall 2002-Spring 2006) Women Ethnic/Minority First Year Scholars 61% 41% Undergraduate Mentors 81% 22% Graduate Student Mentors 34% 6%Over the four years of the program, the students participating in the program have changed.During the first two years of the program, more scholars were enrolled in Calculus I or higherand therefore were more prepared for an engineering curriculum. This was due to the
curriculum istaught and interpersonal climate (Anderson1;2; Anderson-Rowland6, 1997; Brainard & Carlin16,1998; Liu & Blanc38, 1996).Most of the studies that have concentrated on the recruitment and retention of women inengineering, have studied the factors that affect the educational journey of students at thebeginning, and/or in the middle of their college years. There is very little systemic empiricalresearch that focuses on students’ who are about to graduate from an engineering department. Itis important to study the experiences of students who have completed or are about to obtain anengineering degree because, since they have recently gone through situations that femalestudents experience by being a minority in engineering, they can
actually be a virus or a malicious piece of software that may affect their computeroperation. So one of the things that needs to be included in the instructions, is how to properlyvet a piece of software before installing it.In addition to operating system issues, web browsers have become an integral part of the waystudents communicate, create, and interact with faculty, classmates and course materials. Aspreviously mentioned, all university students have access to Office 365, which can be accessedby local apps, but also allows access via a browser. In addition to Office 365, the university usesBlackboard as the main content management system (CMS). So students need to rely on theirbrowsers working. Some students do not know there are multiple web
Year Fig. 6: Average of students grades in Structures I in the CEE curriculum. The ratio of EAP students to all students were 7/10, 6/7, 11/13, and 4/15 for 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016. One of the individual courses in the CEE is Structures I (CIEG 314, an introduction tostructural analysis) which has some common topics as those discussed in the projects of the EAPactivities. The ambassadors have shown a better performance in the course and the average of thefinal grades in the course, as shown in Fig. 6, validates this assessment. The graduation rate,measured by the years for the bachelor’s degree completion, is presented in Fig. 7. The EAPstudents finished their bachelor’s degree in CEE in sorter or at least equal time, compared

Odaand Ichinose developed an application called “Lip Reading AI” in 2007.16 The system allowsusers to look at their mouth-shape movements and compare them with standard movements. Tomake the application more efficient, in 2012 Arai and Oda integrated computer graphic (CG)animation into the application.4 They created the user’s 3D face model in advance. The modelwas then used to show the standard

After careful consideration, the Robolink Co-drone [1] was chosenas the experimental platform for students to study drone flight, control and stabilize a drone.However, developing a set of comprehensible lectures proved to be a difficult task. Based onthe requirements of the certificate program, the lectures were designed to cover the followingtopics: (a) an overview of fundamentals of drone flight principles, including the forces actingon a drone such as lift, weight, drag, and thrust, as well as the selection of on-boardcomponents and trade-offs for proper payload and force balance; (b) an introduction to theproportional-integral-directive (PID) controller and its role in stabilizing a drone and reducingsteady-state errors; (c) an

comfortable seeking help from their peers. However, they feltcomfortable asking for help during the sessions, using the academic support resources, andseeking assistance from the faculty. This greatly enhanced communication between freshmenand their course faculty. To enhance opportunities for the creation of academic and socialintegration, an approach that is of increasing popularity in colleges is the use of learningcommunities. Small groups of students take several classes together to enhance academic andsocial integration of students, and strengthen their cognitive skills.6Lower rated categories included the content of the Math Review sessions which was biased moreto the Pre-Calculus students, although many were beginning Calculus 1 or 2.

Driven by such accreditation andworkplace demands, several institutions have embarked into establishing full scale EngineeringCommunication programs within their curriculum (e.g. University of Toronto, MercerUniversity), or have developed stand-alone courses for their students. In a few instances, such asthe case of MIT, communication instruction is embedded within the disciplinary curriculum.The key challenges in introducing communication pedagogy into an existing engineeringcurriculum are scalability and limited resources. Conventional approaches to
Executive Summary in the BOK2 is: “The manner in which CivilEngineering is practiced must change.”11 Recognizing the need to positively change a process, acurriculum, or even a specific course, is the essence of continuous improvement. Mapping theBOK2 outcomes to the capstone sequence was an important first step, but faculty recognized theneed to effect additional improvements.Although there is always an academic aspect to every assignment in an engineering curriculum,faculty decided that there needed to be a better academia/real world balance in the capstone.Faculty agreed that one way to strike this balance would be to revise the course deliverables tomore closely reflect actual project deliverables.

important for substantive discussion to take place with a new group member insuch a short period of time. The confidentiality agreement was an integral aspect of the courseas it allowed for thorough discussion on a variety of sensitive subjects. The agreement allowedstudents to feel confident that as long as what they said was respectful, there would be norepercussions for voicing their opinions.Student’s Perspective: In addition to the class agreement regarding respectfulness, theconfidentiality agreement ensured open and honest conversation for the duration of the course.This agreement was easily the most crucial aspect of the course as it made open discussion workso well. Without this agreement, a large portion of the course conversations would

Data collection should not be done in the sterile environment of accreditation. Rather,it must be integrated into the entire institutional framework of assessment to be effective. 3,4,5“The biggest challenge for assessment with respect to serving dual purposes is to generateinformation based on locally developed methods that can be reported to external audiences inmeaningful ways.”4Knowing that NC State’s engineering programs would come under an ABET and a SACS reviewduring the spring and fall of 2004, the engineering programs began to develop plans
