The demand for technicians and technologists in the aerospaceindustry in total is not available through the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (USBLS) website(www.bls.gov). The US demand for aircraft and avionics mechanics and technicians is expectedto grow 5%, with an increase in employment of 7,300 from 2019-2029 which does not includethe replacements due to retirement or other attrition [10]. The outlook for Aerospace Engineeringand Operations Technicians is expected to grow 7%, with an increase of 800 technicians between2019-2029 [11]. The outlook for Aerospace Engineers is listed as an increase of 1900 between2019-2029 [12]. These are only a fraction of the technically demanding careers for degreedtechnologists and
Backyards and BeyondAbstractThis paper presents three models for integrating environmental justice topics into environmental/ civil engineering courses. The first model utilizes a qualitative perspective, based on a videorecording of the community panel at the 2019 American Society for Engineering Education(ASEE) Annual Conference. This panel provides numerous examples of environmental justiceissues from the lived perspective of residents, including issues associated with industrial airpollutants from Tonawanda Coke in New York and drinking water in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,and Flint, Michigan. Segments of this video were integrated into a fall 2020 course for first-yearcivil engineering students, in relation to the assignments on ethics and

contributing to this lucrative profession [1],[3], [12]. There is limited research to indicate how CSE affects female students and theirdecision to major in engineering, and how CSE predicts the retention of women engineeringstudents in the major. This study sought to further investigate CSE of undergraduate womenengineering students, and how their beliefs about creativity and their lived experiencesinfluenced them to choose and succeed in engineering as a major.

For electrical engineering (EE)degree attainment, the numbers are more dismal. In 2017-2018, 14.2% of all bachelor’s degrees;23.5% of master’s degrees; and 17.3% of doctoral degrees were awarded to women in electricalengineering [36]. Percentages for women faculty members in tenure positions parallelpercentages for degree recipients. In a report for the American Society for EngineeringEducation (ASEE), Yoder (2017) found the mean percentage of women tenured/tenure-trackfaculty in all engineering disciplines was 16.9%.

policyrecommendations, outlined below.The first recommendation from the task force was to offer a tenure clock or contract clockextension for all full-time faculty. Given the known impacts of the pandemic on research,teaching, and service obligations, the option to allow faculty an additional year was quickly metwith unanimous support from the task force. However, the details of how to best implement thepolicy took careful consideration. The first choice was to intentionally make the policyapplicable to all full-time faculty. UD faculty includes both tenure-track and tenured faculty(T/TT), as well as non-tenure track (NTT) faculty. These NTT faculty have full-time, renewable,non-tenure track positions, which ASEE has referred to as “professional track.” Many
