research and foster discovery in science and engineering [6]. Consequently, the originalCyberAmbassadors curriculum incorporates activities, examples and exercises that are centeredin the context of exploratory research. This type of research is generally found in academicsettings, such as research universities and non-profit institutions, as well as in government-funded laboratories. Designing the curriculum to reflect the language and positions common tothese settings (e.g., investigator, research group, graduate student, postdoc) is an important partof the constructivist and sociocultural pedagogy embraced by the CyberAmbassadors project[7]–[9]. In this approach, learning takes place most effectively in contexts that are familiar andrelevant

Can a Body Do? How We Meet the Built World, the artist, design researcher, and OlinCollege professor Sara Hendren writes, “Engineering is not the science of the laboratory alone…It is fundamentally applied, which means its results live in the world. It belongs to people, notjust as ‘users’ but as protagonists of their dimensional lives” [1, p. 23]. Hendren’s invocation of avision of engineering as radically human-centered provided the philosophical and humanisticcore to our interdisciplinary teaching team as we embarked on designing a new course forfirst-year students at Boston College (BC). Our course, Making the Modern World: Design,Ethics, and Engineering (MMW), situated engineering practice and knowledge within its social,political, and
focus beyond the skillsand theory needed for laboratory work detracts from the focused nature of the program. In thiscontext, our ABET visit was used as a catalyst for change. Beyond the reflection engendered bythe process, following the visit one concern was that curricular limitations did not allow studentsto take a sufficient number of electives. This finding resulted in faculty more broadly looking atthe curriculum rather than just specific, focused changes in existing courses.The second and third factors—a new chair and young faculty—were simply coincidental since anew, external department chair had been hired less than two years before the ABET visit at atime when 70% of the faculty in the department had been at PALACE for less than a

]. 2 An effective add-on to any instructional method are apprenticeship models, which offermany attractive benefits for educating students to build prototypes through feedback loops. Thecognitive model of situated learning—which apprenticeship falls under—engages experts totrain students (novices), often placing them in side-by-side working situations [4]. This format isconducive to the teaching of procedural techniques, such as laboratory methods, shop methods,coding, and culinary processes. Both the presentation of content and the participation bystudents are necessarily active and social in this educational style [5]. These types of instructioncombine explicit and tacit knowledge [6] and in doing so focus on the practice of what it

). Thesemulti-citers, as we call them above, indicate that a cluster of scholars, a program in the field, orseveral laboratories are committed to the work of reading, understanding and citing Blackwomen as the founders of intersectionality. This uptake allows us to resist the tendency toexplain away critical or purposeful reading practices: “Oh, I was never asked to read this ingraduate school!” Or, “Yeah, we don’t really read ‘that stuff’ in engineering.”These trends represent some pain points that the field might do well to reflect and act on. Evenwithin the field’s efforts to address equity and inclusion, Black women’s knowledge appears tobe delegitimized or erased. For Jones and Dotson, the choice to omit or carefully integrate Blackwomen into our
features is shown in Table 2. We first categorized the jobpostings based on the types of institutions. Postdoc appointments under universities were assignedto “academia.” Other appointments at national laboratories, industry research centers, or corpora-tions were categorized as “non-academia.” To further extract the structure from the text data, theKSAs and domain discipline dictionaries were applied to analyze the job posting data. The wordfrequencies were calculated based on the two dictionaries.

These courses useapproaches aligned with the humanities and social sciences to further investigate the social andethical issues related to engineering and engineered artifacts. In their fourth-year all engineeringstudents take a yearlong course sequence in both their fall and spring semesters. This is wherethey learn about STS theories, consider various ethical frameworks and apply these concepts totheir own research topics. A graduation requirement is for all students to generate a writtenportfolio that includes a report on their technical capstone project and STS research paper thataddresses
thetraditional hands-on (i.e., laboratory) activities. The spring semester students at least had the firsthalf of the semester in-person (pre-pandemic) and while the fall semester was potentiallymodified to allow for social-distancing rules, etc., many hands-on components of the programwere reintroduced.

Measurements of Electric Conductivity, which indicates salinity, were atan average of 3,645 μS (microSiemens), with recorded numbers ranging from 1,560 μS to 4,914μS. Much higher-than-average salinity levels of 4,650 μS were recorded in the water extractedfrom the well on which the wind turbine is installed. For comparison, water salinity in the adjacentwell feeding the large irrigation basin next to the greenhouse were measured at only 470 μS. Themeasured salinity level in the pond dropped significantly after a water top-up, which was usuallydone by adding water from the

Collaborations from thesestakeholders support the translation of novel DDS from laboratory or “benchtop” research through commercialization, clinical trials and regulatory bodies and onto the patient, or “bedside” [20]. As a multidisciplinary field, researchers have contributed to engineering curriculum by developing drug delivery courses to engage engineering students with varied interest in medicine and the desire to pursue biomedical careers in pharmaceutical industries, research intensive institutions, and medical schools [21]. Historically, students enter this course with prior knowledge of chemical engineering fundamentals, and are instructed by bioengineering and chemical engineering
