communication competencies needed for successful civil andenvironmental engineering practice. To address this gap, the civil engineering curriculum addeda new course entitled Communicating with Stakeholders in Engineering. This course coverstopics including communication theory, stakeholder identification, communicating throughconflict, communication planning, implicit bias, public engagement principles, and more. Thecontent was selected to fill the gaps in traditional communication classes taken by civilengineering students to expose students to tools and approaches to workplace communicationand communication with public stakeholder groups. The topics covered in the course allowstudents to develop an understanding of and gain extensive practice with

Early stages of educational milestones documented by the PIT-UNUnlike 4-year schools, establishing new and forward-looking curriculums at community colleges aredifficult to establish given administrative business plan emphasis on shorter terms initiatives for fasterinvestment returns via enrollment. With this constraint in mind, we developed a series of mini

Systems engineering provides a framework and method forassimilating the multitude of interacting factors and dynamics in human, economic, social,natural and engineering systems into target design requirements.The plan of study for the M.S.degree was developed with input from over 30 faculty members from Drexel’s College of Artsand Science, College of Computing and Informatics, College of Engineering, College of MediaArts and Design, School of Education, and School of Public Health and is detailed below: 1.

Ethiopian culturelectures. Since the students were traveling to a foreign country and collaborating withEthiopians, it is important that they are respectful of the values and culture of the people there.Furthermore, it is crucial for the students to recognize their privilege and cultural differenceswhen communicating with the hospital staff.ConclusionNU-IGH plans to continue and build upon its model from the surgical lamp project in futuredesign projects. Its design group’s next project after the surgical lamp is a low-cost ECGelectrodes project based on the group’s needs assessment from their last trip to SPHMMC. Onedesign goal the group is planning on integrating is the ability to mass produce a device locally inEthiopia. Designs that can be

Students were asked to develop and test their projects as muchas possible, but the lack of supplies combined with the pandemic severely limited the ability ofany of the teams demonstrate more than a proof-of-concept. Teams who were interested incontinuing to work on their projects were encouraged to enroll in a follow-up course resulting inparticipation in a Business Plan Competition at the end of the spring semester.Quantitative data on student course achievement included completion of the university’s onlinecourses in Basic Human Subjects Research and Responsible Conduct of Research, and individualquiz and
