Martin et al.19 alsoemphasize the need for improving parental education regarding the processes for universityadmission, financial aid, expected engineering course load, and long-term benefits of earning anengineering degree. They specifically suggest considering language barriers while designingparents’ events.Transition The transition solutions focused on 1) making curricular changes and 2) developingsocial capital in community colleges for engineering.

interviews at the beginning, middle, and end of the semester.Participants were diverse in terms of their home countries, genders, and engineering discipline.Using thematic coding, we are analyzing the data using both a priori codes drawn from theliterature and inductive codes emerging from the data, with particular attention to engineering-specific and ITA-specific experiences.Preliminary findings suggest that three of the four general categories developed by priorresearchers are relevant to the experiences of engineering ITAs. At the same time, the data allowus to operationalize these experiences in the context of engineering classrooms, including bothlecture and laboratory courses, and identify nuances in each category that are unique to the
corrective alternatives for improvement.One of the most beneficial activities has been the Summer Research Internships (called SUMREX)where students from UPRM have been able to participate in research projects in several affiliateduniversities and laboratories during the summers of 2016, 2017 and 2018. In summary a total of 19interns have taken advantage of the opportunity to do research while being paid and get to knowhow other universities and research laboratories operate.

In developing the revisions to the labactivities efforts have been made to make the activities relevant to situations that students couldenvision encountering in various work situations. Lab revisions have been made with an eye onthe fundamental objectives of engineering instructional laboratories, as described by Feisel andRosa (3). The seven labs presented in the current suite of labs are based on a 10 week quarter,with extra weeks given for a self-designed lab. For a semester based schedule there would bemore opportunity to include additional labs such as a

DBT parallels the underlying pedagogy narrative of New Learning developed byKalantzis and Cope [9], and it overlaps with Energy Engineering Laboratory Module (EELM™)pedagogy [10], which posits that learning experiences must be hands-on, accessible, student-centered, economical, and “turn-key”. DBT and EELM™ project hardware must be affordablefor an institution with limited resources and be buildable and operable by a handy high schoolcourse instructor or technician without situated knowledge or access to specialized tools orequipment.Anecdotally, educators have been using model rocketry for decades in middle/high

These courses are team-taughtby faculty from Engineering and from Communications; specifically, Writing Arts in the fall andPublic Speaking in the spring. Historically, the fall course has featured three major coursedeliverables: (1) a “research sequence” consisting of a rhetorical analysis, an annotatedbibliography, and a literature review, (2) a humanities assignment in which students explore theimpact of technology on societal needs, and (3) laboratory and design reports stemming fromhands-on engineering projects completed in lab.During the summer of 2019, the faculty
