solutions based on the best available academic corecompetencies. Industry partners can also hire engineering graduates with the knowledge thatthese students are able to solve real world problems using globally developed solution strategiesand tools. Industries can be viewed by members of the society-at-large at helping bringtechnological tools and solutions that help solve societal problems. This can spur furtherindustrial growth. Students stand to benefit immensely from this structure as well in severalways. They are exposed to real world problems, and will not view concept and theory as beinguseless for practice. Additionally, students benefit from the collective wisdom of state-of-the-artteaching material developed, shared and refined in a

The greywater recycling system collects wastewaterfrom bathroom sink, shower, and clothes washer and cleans it to be used for toilet flushing and

Friendly competition and team building are implemented through at-shirt design competition and a GradTrack Trophy, discussed below. Taken together, theseelements promote relationship building and a deeper understanding of what is needed to prepareand be successful in graduate school. GradTrack mentoring circles are a family and a team.Monthly AssignmentsMonthly assignments consist of students making an “About Me” introductory poster, updatingtheir Resume/CV, drafting their Statement of Purpose, applying to summer research or graduateprograms, developing their introductory elevator pitch for campus visits, drafting questions toask faculty and graduate students, and a team
student’s responses reinforce instructional procedures thatmay have crafted student thinking and expression. The researchers found no proclivities withinthe student responses toward identifying professionalism or ethics; a result that has providedanother area for improvement for the First-Year coursework design and implementation.ConclusionThe most popular definitions for the practice of engineering were Problem Solving, Design, andhaving an Outward Perspective. Engineering is known for its problem solving, critical thinking,and designing. Engineering is not as well known for thinking of others and connecting the workto how it will impact people.Creativity, Theoretical, and Connections to People, were less than 50% of the definitions.Teamwork
students from underrepresentedpopulations face in engineering learning spaces. Having these discussions during lecture or in thecontext of the course can also address the issue of stereotype threat [4] faced by certain culturalstudent groups, which is known to impact student success. Further, intentionally incorporatingthese exercises into the course design communicates to students a strong desire to create aninclusive learning environment. Walden et al. recommended based on research that for creatingan inclusive atmosphere for diversity and equity within engineering education, it is important tohave a positive academic culture for people from excluded identity groups [5].

We decided to use these 18elective hours for our cybersecurity concentration curriculum courses without increasing thegraduation/degree requirement of 124 credit hours. With this curriculum structure, our cybersecurityconcentration graduates have a solid background both in Computer Science and Cybersecurity.We used evidence based practices such as review of existing cybersecurity curriculum in other academicinstitutions, discussion with our industry partners and scholarly literate to develop courses for thisconcentration.

In fact,the findings revealed that more than half of the teachers feel unprepared to teach energy-relatedSTEM topics and have expressed a need for additional support to overcome these challenges.Identifying these needs guided us through our next initiative: the data-driven design of STEMcontent and materials on energy-related topics for K-12 classrooms. As a test run, we conductedtwo virtual camps. The first one was a Young Nebraska Scientists (YNS) Summer Camp formiddle and high school students. The second one was a session at the NanoSIMST Workshop totrain middle and high school STEM teachers.

Towards this goal, we instituted threeprograms focused on international experiences for undergraduate and graduate students.International Research Experience for Undergraduates (iREU)The purpose of this program is to promote development of globally aware scientists byexposing promising young scientists and engineers, in this case talented undergraduates, tothe promises and challenges of research in an international environment. We aim todemonstrate to these participants that not only is research in the global context a necessity inthe 21st century, but it is also both exciting and well within their capabilities. By providingthis opportunity early in their careers, we hope to have maximum long term impact. Towardsthis end, we have structured a
