Other suggestions for improvement weresetting up a scholarship for STEP participants and also providing assistance for STEP students toline up an internship.Program Challenges Recruitment The CCs have an unresolved challenge in that it is difficult to recruit students to enter theSTEP project. It should not be surprising that the CCs have a different challenge than UNL-COE, although it manifests itself a bit differently. Neither UNL-STEP

An able and committed lecturer can accomplish the following: 1. Relate the material proficiently and effectively, in a manner that reflects lecturer’s personal conviction and grasp of the subject matter; 2. Provide students with a thoughtful, scholarly role model to emulate; 3. Supplement the subject matter with current developments not yet published, or interject lecturer’s own views derived from his/her own experience whenever applicable; 4

This obviously affects how social entrepreneurs perceive and assess opportunities. Mission-related impact becomes the central criterion, not wealth creation. Wealth is just a means to an end for social entrepreneurs.” … “It is inherently difficult to measure social value creation. How much social value is created by reducing pollution in a given stream, by saving the spotted owl, or by providing companionship to the elderly?

Students learn to work and communicate in both small (2-4), medium (5-7), and large (10+) engineering teams, as an effective member of these design teams, and to work on the process as a team as well as learn to develop and execute a design plan. Individually, students should begin to understand their strengths and weaknesses, be able to reflect on the process and grow. Communication is emphasized and practiced throughout the design sequence through regular submission of memos and technical reports, and frequent technical presentations. Students learn how to compose a proposal, memo, report, technical paper, and technical presentation as well as how to project their professional image through a resume

indicated a greater preference to select astudent without previous research experience. This is disappointing since NSF states that a goalof the REU program is to expose students to a research experience. Despite the variability in thefaculty preference for under-represented students, the average score for this criterion made it the3rd highest rated item. This is important since increasing diversity is a stated goal of the NSFREU program.
