2019 as described in more detail elsewhere [10]. Students in onesection of the first author’s course at Arizona State University (ASU) (N = 64) were randomlyassigned to groups A and B. Group A was required to use Circuit Tutor for the topic of DCsuperposition, and to do similar problems in WileyPLUS (for the Irwin & Nelms textbook [17])for the topic of DC source transformations as part of one homework assignment. Group B didthe reverse, so that both groups used both systems for part of this homework. Videos ofproblems being worked were available in both Circuit Tutor and in WileyPLUS, but CircuitTutor did not have introductory tutorials available on these topics at the time of this experiment.Students relied on lectures and the textbook
alongside CS students, as well as inadditional courses in a chosen domain. However, we opted to take a different approach anddevelop a minor degree specific to social science students given that (a) prior programmingexperience and mathematical background have been shown to predict success in introductoryprogramming courses, e.g., [11] - [13], and (b) social science students typically have noprogramming and very little math background relative to CS majors. As such, we developed anentirely new series of four courses with content crafted specifically for these students, such thatclasses are taken only with fellow social science students (similar to the computational socialscience minor at UC San Diego). Courses are designed to be taken serially
: a. What they find desirable or valuable in the job setting (in terms of their long range career path). b. How they transitioned from a first-year student to a co-op/intern student in terms of school performance and motivation. c. Challenges they may have had from a persistence standpoint (e.g. bouncing back from a poor grade on an assignment, quiz or test). d. How their co-op/internship experience is part of their strategy to reach their ultimate goal (whether full-time employment, graduate school, etc.) Additionally, it was important in all the items above that the shadowed employee asks the first-year student about their thoughts and opinions as
-12 educators, andevaluators.Key outcomes or Other achievements:Over the course of the meeting, participants will address ten of the key themes that emergedfrom the interviews. Though sessions will vary in terms of how they are moderated based onsubject matter, each session will include a component of sharing of (a) current state along with(b) challenge/gap identification and (c) brainstorming for challenge/gap resolution. Through thisprocess, we expect to identify the gaps in the community’s body of knowledge which will be thefoundation of the research agenda. Additionally, we hope to also extract information critical toidentification of current best practices among ambassador and other engineering outreachprograms.Opportunities for Training
toinstill interest in advanced manufacturing research and careers among undergraduate students. Theprogram recruits 10 students each year and provides them with an opportunity to work on anadvanced manufacturing research project under the guidance of a faculty and a graduate studentmentor. The following are the main objectives of this program: a) improve research skills of thestudents in STEM fields in general, and in the fields of advanced manufacturing in particular; b)enhance student’s interest in advanced manufacturing as it relates to graduate education or industrycareer; c) provide guidance to students on their graduate school selections and applications; and d)provide the participants with engineering innovation and entrepreneurship
: (a) current knowledge, (b) a scale on perceptions ofentrepreneurship, (c) practice, (d) team and business model, and (e) program evaluation (post-survey only).Among those several sections, this study only utilized the data from perceptions ofentrepreneurship on the scale and practice of customer interview skills captured in open-endedquestions. As shown in Table 2, the scale was designed to assess student perceptions of the sixconstructs indicated by 33 items: (1) interest in entrepreneurship, (2) confidence in valueproposition, (3) self-efficacy in entrepreneurship, (4) self-efficacy in marketing/businessplanning, (5) self-efficacy in customer interview skills, and (6) current status of technology andbusiness model.

Students are recruited as incoming freshmen, and are eligible for retention in theSEECS program so long as program requirements are met, including maintenance of a minimum 3.0GPA. As the grant activity has proceeded, it has been noted that students who fail to achieve a grade of“B” or better in Calculus I, Calculus II or Physics 1 have typically failed to maintain an overall 3.0 GPAas well. There is thus an interest for SEECS in providing additional academic assistance to our studentsin support of GPA maintenance, leading to better employment and/or graduate school opportunities
