One is ourglobal competence assessment framework formed by combining the Miville-GuzmanUniversality-Diversity Scale - Short Form (MGUDS-S) and SIT’s student satisfaction survey.It will be used to evaluate participants’ global competence as well as to investigateweaknesses in the design of the online gPBL program. The other new tool is a new method ofassessing students’ level of engagement in group work based on an analysis of students’activity within the Slack collaboration platform.

theproportional representation issue does not actually create an inclusive environment supportive ofstudent success [5-7]. Just as equality does not equal equity [8]; parity does not equal inclusion[6, 9]. Hurtado and colleagues (2012) pointed out how compositional diversity is only one factorin creating a diverse learning environment [10]. Efforts designed to increase compositionaldiversity neglect the experiences and different combinations of barriers that individuals mustconfront. "Underrepresented" could also be considered a form of spot-lighting, of continuouslyreminding students that each of them is a "representative" for their social identity group(s) [11].This socially-taxing language reminds individuals that their group is judged by the
motivations or reasons fortransferring to a different institution; an important aspect of our study is to untangle thosereasons for engineering transfer students in Texas. Students accumulate transfer student capital,or knowledge about the transfer process, at sending institutions (i.e., the place(s) where studentsbegin their degree paths), receiving institutions (i.e., the final degree-granting institution), andpotentially from non-institutional sources. The development of transfer student capital maycome from experiences related to learning and study skills, course learning, perceptions of thetransfer process, academic advising and counseling, and experiences with faculty. Upon arrivingat the receiving institution, students must adjust to the new
perceptionsof doing engineering work, regardless of occupational title. We also believe that a sequentialregression model will show that engineering belief measures predict a significant proportion ofvariance in perceptions of having jobs “related to” engineering, over and above SCCT variables.AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank the Purdue University Davidson School of Engineering, whosePipeline Center funded this project.

seniorundergraduates entitled Mechanical Engineering Experimentation. This acknowledged(’-s) course is a required,three-credit, first semester, capstone course for all senior mechanical engineering students. The course wasdesigned around the concept of providing our students with a taste of real mechanical engineering bychallenging them with small open-ended projects of industrial origin. The course focuses on defining andsolving problems of engineering value by experimental methods, integrating the necessary fundamentalprinciples learned in previous theoretical-oriented classes. Thus, the course is able to aide the mechanicalengineering student in bridging the gap between the abstractness of academia and the practicality of industry. The majority of

knowledge rather than solely consumers of knowledge.BackgroundA 2016 Harvard Business School report found a faltering United States economy and a need forreform [1]. One principal reason for this faltering economy is the United States’ inability todevelop qualified science and engineering (S&E) human capital, in particular women andminorities. However, diversity in the S&E workforce has not improved over the last decade [2];and, given Hispanics aged 21 years and older represent 15% of the U.S. population, a mere 6%of the S&E workforce are Hispanic [2].The Bureau of Labor Statistics has projected that total employment in S&E jobs will increase at afaster rate (1.1% compound annual growth rate) from 2016 to 2026 than employment in

Each KSA is followed by a K for knowledge, S for skill (or ability), or an A for attitude.Bolded KSAs represent KSAs that are applicable to multiple organizational goals; these appearon the table more than once.Assessing and designing coursework was not included in the table because the KSAs needed toachieve that goal will not be developed in the orientation, but rather throughout the core courseswithin the department. An additional goal of involvement and inclusion into the larger researchcommunity, both within the department and the community as a whole, was included from theconstant emphasis in the interviews.Many of the KSAs in Table 1 were modeled from what current students stated that they wishedthey had known when
functions are solved with this single command. The "assign"command is again used to associate the solution with the variable ωL. The first term in the"collect" command in Figure 5 divides the symbolic solution for ωL by the input ea. The"collect" command is used to group all of the terms with the same power of s in the solution forthe transfer function ωL/ea. Unfortunately the denominator of this transfer function is not in thebest possible form. Figure 6 illustrates some of the Maple commands that are available toreformat the denominator of the transfer function for better understanding. The "denom"command separates the denominator from the remainder of the solution for ωL. All terms arealso divided by LaJmJL, which was the coefficient of the
