. Systematic review techniques have recentlygained traction in the field of engineering education. A systematic review performed over aspecific area of practice can consolidate results from many studies into a synthesis of bestpractices.This paper presents the best practices for teaching introductory circuits which were identifiedthrough a systematic review of prior research. Relevant publications were identified andappraised with a set of coding criteria generated by the researchers. The coding results wereexamined and used to write a mixed-methods synthesis of consensus, disagreement, quality, andlimitations amongst studies identified by the systematic literature review. The results of thereview may inform educational techniques employed in post

This project will use a data-driven and evidence-based approachto identify the barriers to the success of underrepresented minority students and to generate newknowledge on the best practices for increasing students’ retention and graduation rates, self-efficacy, professional development, and workforce preparedness. Three objectives underpin thisoverall goal. The first is to develop and implement a Summer Research Internship Programtogether with community college partners. The second is to establish an HSI Engineering SuccessCenter to provide students with academic resources, networking opportunities with industry, andcareer development tools. The third is to develop resources for the professional

IntroductionIt can be said that, from many aspects, the best time for an engineering student to obtaintheir Ph.D. is after a period of working in industry. By the time one completes five toseven years of higher education, students can be “burned out” and otherwise not ready forthe rigor of a Doctoral Degree. By breaking at this point and working in industry for afew years, students can obtain a better understanding of the practice of engineering thancan be obtained from the classroom and co-operative (co-op) or internship experience.Furthermore, they can better understand exactly what area of engineering they wish topursue in their
presentation requirement. Each student was required to give a final project presentation to the entire research committee, which was comprised of the PI, co-PIs, and senior personnel on the grant.

, given newadvances in cloud-computing and real-time synchronous collaboration, the ability to quicklydigitally prototype unique concepts in CAD has never been easier. Given that new engineeringgraduates are part of the “digital native” generation, anecdotal evidence suggests these designershave a natural inclination and ability for this digital prototyping. Our study seeks to formally testwhether a dichotomy exists between younger designers who are entering the workforce, andolder designers who are veterans in product development, regarding the best-practices in CADusage for conceptual design - “Conceptual CAD”.The paper begins with a critical review of the existing body of literature which advises thedesigner against Conceptual CAD.

The similaritiesbetween the missions of the Libraries and ASEE@SU, both of whom pledge to aid students inachieving success in their academic careers and beyond, and the desire to find the mostsuccessful avenues for connecting with graduate students helped to foster a mutually beneficialrelationship.

Teachers conduct their research alongside engineeringstudents (undergraduate and graduate) with supervision from engineering faculty in variousdisciplines (mechanical, chemical, etc.). Of central importance to the project team is how tofoster the translation of that research into practice, specifically into the high school mathematicsand science curriculum.

administration expressed the need for more professional developmentworkshops which has led to growth of the series. Additionally, as part of a Colorado statewideinter-institutional collaboration (GradCO) we are sharing a selection of these workshops beyondour own campus community. These developments have inspired the library to evaluate whetherthe series is meeting the needs of graduate students. Specifically, we are interested in expandingour scope toward career readiness for scientists and engineers entering careers in industry,research, and academia.Existing career readiness frameworks address several core competencies. To best understandwhether our workshops are meeting career readiness goals, we mapped our catalog of pastworkshops to these

In many ways, engineeringrepresents a microcosm of the institutional and structural barriers to persistence traditionallyunderserved graduate students face in higher education across all majors, resulting in adverseeducational outcomes [11].
