students. The new Engineering Plus degree has a core setof required foundational courses in engineering, a multi-year design sequence, and allows forself-defined pathways. The new curriculum also offers three defined degree pathways that havebeen chosen based on an examination of student “fate” data: secondary education, pre-medical,and environmental studies, with additional pathways planned for the near future. The fateanalysis examined the paths of students who were enrolled in an engineering or STEM major inone year and samples their major choice in the following year. This analysis maps the flow ofstudents into and out of the major with demographic slicers to more closely understand these in-migration and out-migration choices.This paper will

This incoming large flux of students is essential to reducethe shortage of STEM graduates in the United States2-4. Studies have shown that students whoparticipate in STEM programs before college increase their chances to succeed5-8. Theseprograms provide them with important knowledge and skills and help them gain a betterunderstanding of science and engineering careers.This paper describes a two-week STEM Summer Enrichment Program (STEM-SEP) designedfor high school students. STEM-SEP’s goal is to improve the recruitment and preparation ofstudents, particularly those from underrepresented groups

What differentiates modern VVO techniques from traditional approaches is the useof integrated monitoring and communication systems. In the past, utilities would manage voltageregulators and VAR compensation devices independently, which would be suboptimal onfeeders, substations, and the distribution system.

, 100% of the responding indicated they were extremely (94%) or somewhat (6%) satisfied with their overall experience in the S-STEM program. All students indicated their meetings with the S-STEM Student Success Coach were extremely or somewhat informative. Also, success rate of S-STEM students is higher than the other students in all STEM courses (e.g. calculus I, engineering statics, physics I). At the present, the actual impact of the Student Success Coach on academic success remains to be determined as incoming ACT scores indicate that the S-STEM cohort is academically better prepared. Further analysis is planned to investigate this. Additional updated and detailed information will be provided on our poster.Introduction

While the Career Services presentation was perceivedas being extremely/very useful by most students, students were not as satisfied with workshops focused on general study skillsand time management. In the future we plan to rework these sessions to include a clearer connection to the CS major. A majority of the students were extremely satisfied with the organized social events with student leaders from Women inTech and the Diversity in Computing (Diversineers) student groups in our department.

An innovative plan must be developed to assurethat the number of students enrolled in surrounding for-credit Tech Ed programs increases, andthat increasing retention and graduation rates is a priority [3].
