During the program, the teachers are taught introductory weather science,the IDV visualization software basics, and how to obtain free weather data from the National Oceanicand Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Restrictions due to the COVID19 pandemic requiredmodifications to our planned initial year activities, but we were able to pilot and obtain feedback toimprove the program. Our plans for the 2021-2022 school year include offering our full summerprofessional development workshop, observing teachers in their classrooms while they implementmeteorology lessons with computational thinking, and

Students, working in small groups, use the knowledge andskills acquired throughout their undergraduate education to develop the documentation requiredfor actual engineering project design (i.e. project analysis, design calculations, drawings, 169material quantities, basic cost estimate, design schedule, and an overall work plan) and presentresults in verbal
engineering technology degree programs alsoface similar questions as to how their program differs from engineering programs. The answersto these questions are invariably that engineering technology programs are based on the practicalapplication of engineering with graduates working to support licensed engineers/architects. Inaddition, engineering programs are theory and design based with graduates focused on designingand managing projects [1]. Students enrolled in Architectural Engineering Technology Programswho plan to become registered architects face an additional challenge however depending on thestate that they plan to seek licensure.

At this point,each Peer Advisor will hold 4 walk-in hours a week in the EAC. Students would have access tothe Peer Advisors’ schedule and could self-select with whom they would like to meet based ontheir availability. We will hold on going workshops and trainings to provide Peer Advisors withprofessional development opportunities. We will also structure individual touchpoints with thePeer Advisors to ensure they are experiencing successful student interactions and feel supportedin their role.

Ten faculty teaching first- and second-year Engineering courses participated in the first cohort of ISE-2 in Summer 2017, which consisted of three workshops and six informal “coffee conversations”. At the conclusion of the workshops, each faculty was tasked with completing a teaching plan for the Fall 2017 semester, to incorporate the strategies and knowledge from ISE-2 into the courses they plan to teach. Focus groups with the ISE-2 faculty were conducted in Fall 2017 to obtain feedback about the faculty development program. Classroom observations were

plan. Themessage to students is that all their ideas are worthy of converting into detailed operatingdocuments. They are not. These ideas must be screened and assessed. The entrepreneur’s time,after all, is the most precious resource of all. There is no sense wasting it on an idea that has nochance of being economically successful. The good news is that there is increasing attentionbeing paid to—determining the feasibility of the business. More and more institutions arebeginning to look at teaching methodologies to assess the feasibility of a proposed new business.Our courses take the steps necessary to show students how to create entrepreneurial ventureswith significant business potentials (Figure 1).

The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) requires thatengineering programs provide “the broad education necessary to understand the impact ofengineering solutions in a global and societal context.”1 The National Academy ofEngineering’s report on educating the “Engineer of 2020” includes similar guidance.2 TomFriedman’s recent popular book, The World is Flat, describes in detail the globalization of theworld’s economies and repeatedly shouts the need for understanding this phenomenon.3 Animportant part of our university’s strategic plan
behind the national average inthe representation of women in engineering and science, the current environment is conducive topositive change with strong administrative commitment clearly demonstrated. A campus climatesurvey was conducted in 2004 that included recommendations for improvement. Animplementation committee was named (a full professor in the Materials Science and Engineeringdepartment chaired the effort) and strategies were developed. Additionally, ISU’s current 2005-2010 Strategic Plan demonstrates institutional support, as it has as central themes increasingdiversity and enhancing the prominence of science, technology and engineering.6The history of the NSF ADVANCE program at ISU:In 2006, a team of faculty and administrators from
motivating and assisting faculty to conduct research andscholarly work at what has traditionally been a highly teaching-focused university. As part ofthis initiative a number of novel institutional programs have been devised and implemented. Thisinitiative encompasses programs such as creating faculty professional development funds;offering faculty awards in the form of money and time allocation; presenting distinguishedscholar awards; publicizing and celebrating scholarly work; formally incorporating researchgoals in annual plans at the college/school, department, and individual faculty levels; and otherincentives. The impact of these efforts has resulted in a significant, measurable increase inresearch and scholarly work over the last four years
think about new and innovativeways to increase the number of students in any electronics area without regard to whetherit is in electrical engineering, electronic engineering technology, or electronicstechnology. This means we are not concerned with the particular degree to whichstudents aspire, as long as they select a specialization within electronics (this approachbenefits electronics all levels – local, state, and national).We also need to be able to differentiate our programs from the vocational, the AAS andthe B.S. degrees in engineering. We need to design a vertical integration plan that invites Page 13.221.2students that are most suited to

Students are divided into working groups toform a contractor team. An actual unit price bid project is used that the teams bid, schedule,calculate layout, and decide the best effective methods for construction.Industry plays a significant role in the capstone course. Guest speakers come to class anddiscuss various aspects of construction including project management, material selection, andregulation. Public sector owners contribute plan and specification sets and come to the class togive an overview of the class project as in a typical prebid meeting. These owners
