Drop-in tutoring with graduateassistants as well as peer tutors was organized on both campuses. The attendance at these drop-insessions is tracked for scheduling and assessment purposes.Through review of first year seminars, relevant topics and activities to help students developappropriate learning skills were identified [7-9]. These topics were prepared into a series ofmodules that could be used in a first-year seminar. To add a credit for a mandatory first-yearseminar required a broader overview of the engineering foundations courses (required forsecondary admission into the engineering programs).

Doing activities that hands on, messy, relevant to the girls’ world, and age appropriate (11yo to 14yo).Engineering is based on design that includes identifying a problem and finding a solution whileconsidering constraints and trade-offs. While students are introduced to STEM concepts andnotions, there is a stringent need to present them with design principles blended with open-endedproblem-solving approaches faced by engineers in real life applications.The activities presented aimed to tap into the natural curiosities of the young women for inquiry,communication, construction and expression.

well as the type of math coursestaken during the student’s first year. Chen [5] discovered that taking a lighter course load withless challenging math courses while having a poor performance in those courses lead to ahigh chance of switching out of STEM. Another noteworthy result from this study: All other factors being equal, bachelor’s degree STEM entrants who first attended public 4-year institutions had a higher probability of leaving STEM by switching majors than those who started at private nonprofit 4-year institutions. Bachelor’s degree STEM entrants who were male or who came from low-income backgrounds had a higher probability of leaving STEM by dropping out of college than their peers who were female or came from

Given there is such an interest indiversifying the engineering professoriate, a logical question is what is the status of the tenure-line black engineering faculty 5-years after the pledge? Findings are reported by incorporatingmulti-level factors, including but not limited to gender, rank, geographical location, andprivate/public status of the institutions.

ENGG 233 is a required first-year technical course that introduces foundationalconcepts in programming and software engineering to all students, regardless of their intendedprogram.In 2015, ENGG 233 was redesigned to focus on algorithmic thinking through exploratory andapplied learning, as opposed to syntax-focused programming education [Pears, 2007]. Thisresulted in a course format similar to ENGG 200.Both courses have a significant regular laboratory component, where students are given theopportunity to collaborate with peers and receive coaching from instructors and teachingassistants. In these laboratory sessions, students work on exploratory exercises and larger design-based projects. This interactive

Other research at the graduate level has hinted atthe role that non-technical competencies have in the ability to complete, such as academicengineering writing 22. However, the psychological decision-making processes by which studentsdecide to leave their programs is still unknown and represents an enormous gap in the scholarship.Furthermore, it is important to employ creative sampling methods in order to study students whoare actually considering leaving or who have left their programs, but this has proven to be quitedifficult.The explicit objective of a broader project this paper represents is to capture and analyze thenarratives of engineering graduate student

For the course project,students were encouraged to work in groups of 2 (for graduate students) or 3 (forundergraduate students). The students were provided with a list of possible research topics andwere given guidelines to find 5 to 10 recent articles published in IEEE journals and conferenceproceedings and write a review paper. Alternatively, students were allowed to work on a hands-on project. A list of possible research topics that were provided to students is as follows: 1. Communication Security in SCADA 2.

For one, studentsfelt the pressure of competition to achieve the lightest wheel, just as Accuride must keep pace withindustry competitors to maintain or grow their market share.

Ultimately the survey collected responses from 114 students across theeconomic spectrum, from students facing homelessness due to education costs, to those who donot face financial burdens or the need to work to support their education.Overall some of the results of this paper were promising.
