Pro Boost Engineering

Tofurther his support, Dunn recently made a $500,000 gift to create the Stephen M. Dunn Professorship, which will endow the faculty director of the EMP undergraduate program, a position currently held by Christy Bozic.

Steve Dunn is the chairman and CEO of Romar Company, a real estate development, brokerage and property management company he founded in Kansas City, Mo., in 1980. Prior to that, he held senior management positions with Swinerton-Walberg Builders in Los Angeles, the Koll Company in Newport Beach and Universal Land Development Company in Kansas City. Additionally, he has been the CEO of a medical software firm, Ergo Partners, which was sold to Cerner Corporation in 1997 and has been the lead independent director of two publically held banks, 1st National Bank (FCBP) headquartered in San Diego and Pacific Western Bank (PACW) in Los Angeles. Dunn is involved in various civic affairs and holds several charitable board positions. He earned his BS in architectural engineering from CU Boulder and an MS in engineering management from the University of Alaska.

One of the first and most essential uses of Velocity is to cut through the noise and help managers identify the signals of stuck engineers. This enables management to eliminate unnecessary check-ins, while still having the ability to unblock engineers and boost engineering productivity by stepping in to help an engineer who might hesitate to raise their hand.

The grant, titled "Building an Effective Ecosystem for Equity in STEM Careers," is intended to increase educational opportunities for Hispanic students by enabling Hispanic-Serving Institutions to expand their academic offerings and program quality.

Fernandez, the project director, will assist in leading the development phase of creating an engineering program in mechatronics (which combines electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and computer science).

He continued that the college will also prepare engineering students with other technological skills associated with regional, statewide, and national needs. The engineering program supported by this Title V grant will fill a niche in the region and meet the needs of local employers by providing capable engineers in the field.

Previously, College of Science students looking to get into an engineering program have either gone elsewhere or adjusted their career track because an engineering program was not yet available at CSUMB.

It will support academic and career peer-coaching and advising with juniors and seniors who will coach freshmen and sophomores on managing coursework, developing more effective study habits, and providing tips on finding meaningful internships.

The TCUP funding fosters further growth; a first grant in 2010 established the pre-engineering infrastructure for CMN with two key components: building labs, and developing course transfer agreements. This first grant phase has enabled CMN to add much-needed state-of-the-art chemistry and physics lab facilities.

The latest TCUP grant will build on these efforts. The second grant is focused on research, evaluation and dissemination. The research component aims to better understand the opportunities and challenges for American Indian students choosing an engineering education.

"Engineering fits right in with my welding shop, with its blueprints and stuff," the Yarmouth junior said, "and I've heard it's a great field to get into, especially now with so many bridges starting to crumble."

John is among 33 juniors who are taking the new Introduction to Engineering Design course at the Harwich-based school, which serves students from Provincetown to Mashpee. Also a new two-year physics, technology and engineering lab is available as either a core course or a science elective, and the school is looking to add new courses next year.

"Really, a lot of students and even adults don't know what an engineer does," Cape Tech School Supt. Robert Sanborn said. "Part of the reason for this is to get kids interested and to inspire a group of them to go on to become engineers, which America is in desperate need of producing. Also, engineering is where the high-paying jobs are."

The technical school is the latest among Cape high schools to change curriculums, partly in response to a state and national push to expose students to careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, also referred to as STEM.

One of the technical school's goals is to prepare students for employment after graduation, Upper Cape Tech Supt. Kevin Farr said, and there are Cape jobs available for students with an engineering background at spinoff companies from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

In addition, many of the students at both Cape Tech and Upper Cape Tech with good math skills and/or an interest in how things work already have pursued degrees in engineering in the last several years "and that's without us promoting it," Cape Tech's Sanborn said.

Many Cape school superintendents were inspired by a talk in May by Ioannis Miaoulis, president and director of the Museum of Science in Boston. He believes that students, starting as early as kindergarten, should learn more about engineering in our everyday world.

Harwich Middle School Principal Len Phelan and Harwich schools Supt. Carolyn Cragin searched for months to find the right person for a program about "the design process and problem-solving approach that is the essence of engineering," Cragin said.

She expects the engineering opportunities to increase when Harwich and Chatham schools combine in the new Monomoy region in 2014. Chatham schools already work with the Chatham Marconi Maritime Center to learn about telecommunications. The school also has two engineering courses.

When Upper Cape Tech offered electronics, "in the world around us, everything needed to be repaired and there was a market for those skills," Farr said. "In the disposable digital world that we're in, much of it has to do with designing the next disposable widget, and we hope the people who do that are from our school."

And yet the world is still a place where students wonder, "Why do I have to learn this?" a question that exposure to engineering can answer, Elizabeth Berwick said, a math teacher at Cape Tech for several years and now the school's new engineering teacher.

"I'm looking forward to applying the math or science they are learning to the engineering design process," Berwick said, who also has a degree in mechanical engineering. "I'm hoping that this (engineering course) will start to answer that question for them."

Cragin also described engineering as "a place where the real-life application of science and math becomes evident to students. Engineering is a very viable career path and it helps students understand their world and how things that are part of everyday life, such as technology, have been developed and evolved over time."

Next Engineers is an international educational initiative that aims to diversify the engineering field by equipping young people with the necessary skills and knowledge for college and careers in the engineering discipline.

Whitney Gaskins, associate dean of inclusive excellence and community engagement in the University of Cincinnati College of Engineering and Applied Science, oversees the program at UC. She told the Business Courier that 40% of the graduating students will be attending UC College of Engineering, with 90% of the graduates enrolling in an engineering program overall.

The Engineering Boost Program is taught by Toronto Metropolitan University faculty and is available to all incoming engineering students who have already accepted their offer of admission. These courses are not for credit and are not graded. In the event that you are unable to attend the live Zoom sessions, recordings will be made available to you.

Bundle Deal after July 23rd:

You may still buy the bundle deal after the mini-programming and mini-physics start date as you will have access to the recordings. Recordings will be available until December 2024.
