What was accomplished under these goals?
1. The improved research and teaching capacity of students funded by the CBG helped them compete in competitions. These students received in total 5 scholarships and awards (e.g., paper competitions, conference presentations, irrigation scholarships). 2. The improved capacity of students and faculty, increased their capacity to do cutting edge research and develop innovative teaching tools. This resulted in 5 journal articles (research and teaching) published with open access. These are expected to reach not only students/teachers/ researchers /scientists/consultants /public but to larger audiences across the world. 3. The improved capacity of students and faculty, increased their capacity to communicate their work to diverse audiences. This resulted in fifty four student/faculty presentations, conference abstracts, research modules at various levels (college, university, state, national and international). These are expected to reach students/ teachers/ researchers /scientists/ consultants/ public attending the conference and presentation. Most of the conference abstracts are available freely on the internet. These are available to public. In the presentations at college and university level faculty/staff/administrators in college and university were the audience. 4. Two undergraduate students and 3 graduate students were trained in the CBG. The training resulted in one graduate student to successfully defend their thesis (MS). 5. The increased research capacity of PI and summer support helped her to serve as guest editor for 2 special issues with editorial. Currently she is serving as guest editor in 2 special issues. She was appointed editor for "Journal of Water and Climate Change". 6.

Outputs
Target Audience:Students/teachers/researchers/family of students/public are expected to be the target audiences. Changes/Problems:Funding for the students and faculty to present at International conferences was not initially added in the budget. On a hindsight, having that would increase their exposure and build capacity. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?1. Faculty and staff of the Biological systems engineering (BSE) program are understanding the program's capacity through the questionaire. From the repsonse we observed that theFaculty and staff were not clear about the vision and mission of the BSE program. We developed them and were discussed in two advisory board meetings. 2. Student research capacity is increasing. 20 students were trained in research. In 2018-2019, 75-100% of graduating undergraduates from BSE program had research experience, support by the grant. All the students had experience in presenting in at least one conference presentation experience. 3. Students are trained in research methods, conference poster and oral presentations, securing and analyzing data such as streamflow and climate data. Through their networking, they are exposured to different avenues for gradate schools and internships with USDA, and other federal agency. Some examples are: Ms. Phar got her summer intern in 2018 in Naval academy during her networking activity while she was presentig her research in BAER conference. Ms. Jackson presented her work in Cananda's USDA equivalent organisation. 4. Faculty research capacity is increasing. The PI and co-PI had the opputunity to present and network in various conferences, visit and present in university's (e.g. University of South Florida, Tampa) using the funds from the capcity grant. The funding support, helped build the PI, Dr. Anandhi's research capacity. The support helped her to jump start her research career, through the publications and additional funding she received due to this grant. Now she is recognised by the univeristy with the Florida A&M University's Emerging Researcher Award 2017-2018. 5. BSE program's retention and recruitment is improving. It is supporting the program identify important concepts and developing teaching modules. These modules and the opputunity for research scholarships are helping the recruiters in attracting students to the program. 6. Supported the development of conceptual model for assessing vulnerability of water resourcesIts building capacity of faculty and students in How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest? The research results were published as open acess in several high impact journals, which are freely accessible to download and reach a wide range of audience. The presentations at conferences were available to wide range of audiences attending the conference. Factsheets developed to be desiminated by university's extension faculty and staff to farming comunity and other externsion staff. Presentation in a virtual conference that reached audiences in India. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?1. Continue progress on identifying "twenty (20) concepts in 'Natural resources engineering' that undergraduates need to understand before they graduate" 2. Continue building graduate and undergraduate students research capacity 3. Continue building PI/co-PI research and teaching capacity 4. Asess Biological systems engineering program's capacity
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
1. From the initial capacity building questionaire in 2017(BSE faculty and staff were the target audience), the programs vision/mision/motto was developed and posted at 5 locations in the building. This helps the visitiors, students and faculty to increase its visibility and improve recruitment. 2. Eight Journal articles are published with open access and is expected to reach not only students/teachers/researchers/public but to larger audiences across the world. 3. Twenty three student/faculty presentations, conference abstracts, research modules at various levels (college, university, state, national and international) are expected to reach students/teachers/researchers atending the conference and presentation. Most of the conference abstracts are available freely in the internet. This will be aviable to general public. In the presentations at college and university level faculty/staff/administrators in college and university would be the audience. Teaching modules/recruitment aids developed are expected to specifically target students/teachers in STEM areas and public in general. 4. Convenor of a international virtual Conference on Carbon Sequestration Bio-Energy Environment & Sustainable Technologies (ICBEST-2019), April 10, 2019 (Joint collaboration with VIT, India). 5. Several faculty and students funded in the project won awards and recognitions. 5a. Faculty awards and recognitions Dr. Anandhi (PI) won Florida A&M University Emerging Researcher Award 2017-2018,Blue Ribbon Award for developing innovative educational aids from American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers for "Using Leaves as a Model for Teaching Watershed Concepts in Natural Resources Science and Engineering Programs", 2018 and"Teacher of the year" award from Florida section of American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE), 2018 Dr. Dev (co-PI), Young Engineer Award Canadian Society of Bioengineering in 2018 at the University of Guelph, Guelph, ON, Canada 5b.

Progress 05/01/17 to 04/30/18
Outputs
Target Audience:Students/teachers/researchers/public are expected to be the target audiences. 1. For the initial capacity building questionaire: The BSE faculty and staff were thetarget audience 2.Journal articles are published with open access and is expected to reach not only students/teachers/researchers/public but to larger audiences across the world. 3. Student/faculty presentations, conference abstracts, research modules are expected to reach students/teachers/researchers atending the conference and presentation. Most of theconference abstracts are available freely in the internet. 4. In the presentations at college and university level faculty/staff/administratorsin college and university would be the audience. 5.Teaching modules/recruitment aids developed are expected to specifically target students/teachers in STEM areas and public in general. Changes/Problems:Scientists/faculty suggested that itdentifying 20 concepts in Natural Resource Conservation Engineering"through survey was challenging. So they suggested modifiying the surveywith some guidlines. We observed undergraduate students are comfortable working with ~10hrs/week or less depending on their schedule. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? Faculty and staff of theBiological systems engineering program are understanding the program's capacity through the questionaire. Student research capacity is increasing.Multiple students were trained in research.In 2017-2018, 75% of graduating undergraduates from BSE program had research experience, support by the grant. Students are trained in research methods, conference poster and oral presentations, securing and analyzing data such as stremflow and climate data. Through theirnetworking, they are exposuredto different avenues for gradate schools and internships with USDA, and other federal agency. Some examples are:Ms. Phar got her summer intern in 2018in Naval academyduring her networking activitywhile she was presentig her research in BAER conference. Ms. Jackson presented her work in Cananda's USDA equivalent organisation. Faculty research capacity is increasing. The PI and co-PI had the opputunity to present andnetwork in various conferences, visit and present in university's (e.g. University of South Florida, Tampa) using the funds from the capcity grant.The funding support, helped build the PI, Dr. Anandhi's research capacity. The support helped her to jump start her research career,through thepublications and additional funding she received due to this grant. Now she is recognised by the univeristy with the Florida A&M University's Emerging Researcher Award 2017-2018. BSE program's retention and recruitment is improving. It is supporting the program identify important concepts and developing teaching modules. These modules and the opputunity for research scholarships are helping the recruiters in attracting students to the program. Supported the development of conceptual model for assessing vulnerability of water resources How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Yes the results are being desiminated to communities of interest. ASABE Annual Meeting, July 16-19, Spokane, WA, USA.- Some preliminary results presented in 2 talks and one organised invited session "Technical Session #249 VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT OF LAND RESOURCES FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT - INVITED PRESENTATIONS, Tuesday, July 18 - 2:30PM-5:00PM, Sponsored by NRES-26 Moderator: Aanndhi (PI) Florida ASABE conference helpedidentfifypotential scientistist/consultants/academicians in the natural resource conservation engineering for survey to identify 20 concepts. 6 of these students presented their work in Florida Classic in 2017, Orlando, FL. The students had the opputunity todesiminate their workto the general public attending the game. 2 students presented their work inInterantional Food-water-energy nexus conference, Orlando, FL.The students had the opputunity todesiminate their workto the general public, international scientists/faculty attending the conference. Research and teaching peer reviewed publications in open acess helpsscientistist/consultants/academicians to download articles freely. Extention fact sheets were used to dessiminate the scientific knowledge to general public. Presentatons in the various colleges (college of agricultural and food sciences), schools (School of the environment) and the University (faculty and adisors meeting at FAMU) were used to dessiminate the scientific knowledge to faculty/staff/students in FAMU. The guest lecture at the Faculty/students in civil engineering, University of central florida were exposed to some of the work of PI. The invited talk in American Socity of Agronomy (Tampa, 2017) helped the PI disiminate her work to the scientific community. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals? Progress on identifying "twenty (20) concepts in 'Natural resources engineering' that undergraduates need to understand before they graduate". Develop a modified survey, get IRB approval and send it to ~25 scientists/faculty working in the related areas. Continue building graduate and undergraduate students research capacity Continue building PI/co-PI research and teaching capacity AsessBiological systems engineering program's capacity and its changes in the past year
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
Initial capacity of biological systems engineering program was assessed. Multiple students were trained in research. The studentswere partially supported by the grant. Among them,9 were undergraguate students (Ms. St Phar, Ms. Jackson, Mr. Brown, Mr. Hutchins, Ms. Pyror, Ms. Muhammed, Ms. Pagan, Sylvester, Ms. Stewart) from biological systems engineering program. One graduate student was aPhD student (Ms. Sharma) and one was a Masters student (Mr. Bentley).The students were admitted in FAMU-School of the Environment and College of Agricultural and Food Sciences respsectively. In 2017-2018, 75% of graduating undergraduates from BSE program had research experience, support by the grant. The PI and co-PIs are in the process of identifying important concepts as well as developing teaching modules for retention and recruitment. In this process, toIdentify20 concepts,IRB approval was obtained for a year. to send out the survey. The survey was sent out to 20scientists/educators in USA. We received12 completed survey. Based on feedback, the survey is proposed to be modified for IRB approval next year. Teaching module on leaf-watershed was completed and published. The citation of the article is:Anandhi A,Yang Y, Hubenthal M. 2017. Using Leaves as a Model for Teaching Watershed Concepts in Natural Resources Science and Engineering Programs.Natural Resources Education46:1-9.This was very well received. Within the last few months since its publication there were 613 downloads. It was higlighted in the Americal Society of Agronomy (ASA) newslettler. The article was selected to receive the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE's) blue ribbon award 2018 for innovative educational aids. The PI and her collaborator, developed aconceptual model for assessing vulnerability of water resources. This model was published in a scientific jornal as open acess as well an fact sheet to be made avialble to scientists and public. The grant is building research and teaching capacity of the program,faculty and students by providing the support to travel, network and provide research expericen for students. This has resulted in PI and co-PIs securing additional funds . 2 computers were purchased for graduate students for data analysis. The funding support helped build the PI, Dr. Anandhi's research capacity. The support helped her to jump start her research career,through thepublications and additional funding she received due to this grant. Now she is recognised by the univeristy with the Florida A&M University's Emerging Researcher Award 2017-2018.
