| LINE - LInear algebra in New Environments |
(LINE) supports the development and implementation of local change toward a reflective, collaborative culture of teaching and learning among STEM discipline faculty. The integration of mathematical content, applications, and math learning theories will provide an enhanced learning experience for students not only in linear algebra, but also in the reflection of their own learning processes. This form of study will be made possible through co-teaching and collaboration among faculty with expertise in mathematics, computer science and mathematics education. The LINE model includes professional development of college faculty, forming professional learning communities to support incorporation of these teaching modes.

| SEEC: STEM Student Enrollment and Engagement through Connections |
ISU and DMACC are partnering on the STEM SEEC project to
increase the number of students graduating with a
bachelor's degrees in engineering from ISU and the number
of students in STEM areas of study at DMACC including
increasing the number of transfers from DMACC to ISU in
engineering. Retention at DMACC and ISU will be increased by
a new learning community model, called a learning village or
meta-community. First year and gateway engineering courses
will be reviewed to better engage students, to provide
flexibility, and to support transfer students.
