American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 WIP: Faculty Development and Instructional Design Through a Quality Matters Tool for Online and Hybrid Course AssessmentAbstractInstitutional assessment has become increasingly important for quality assurance as coursedelivery methods hybridize and instructors leverage diverse online tools within LearningManagement Systems (LMSs). Educators face multiple challenges while teaching variations ofdelivery methods in their courses. Some of the challenges are course content design, learningnew technologies and LMSs, and effective communication. However, instructors, particularlyjunior faculty, are rarely included in detailed individual-level course
-IVN) which allowed for synchronous onlineeducation with students and teachers. The original faculty began their student centered,online distance pre-engineering program using this ND-IVN system to provide access toengineering courses. Initially there were issues that had to be overcome such as:scheduling conflicts between courses in different academic programs, scheduling adedicated operating technician, expected wear and tear on a much used resource,downtime for replacement parts to be shipped, and other concerns that can read in fulldetail in “The PEEC Experiment: Native Hawaiian and Native American EngineeringEducation” [3].As technology progressed, ND-IVN also adapted by moving from fixed locations toproviding dial-up access, where there

Within thedescription we offer a commentary on variations to allow this to be adapted for use at otherinstitutions. We believe that the combined focus on professional practices and tools in this settingallows our graduates to rapidly integrate into their software teams during both internships andjobs. Finally, we include some novel project-based learning interventions to increase studentengagement with the agile methodologies and engineering practices taught in the course.In order to achieve technical learning objectives (such as skills in web technologies, writingunit/acceptance tests, creating detailed use

developing content for design activities that addressthe challenges of the future where emerging technologies play a central role. Although engineeringeducation research is concerned with preparing future engineers, the integration of future trends intechnology with the engineering curriculum has been limited. We propose the Design the FutureActivities (DFA) as a framework for systematically identifying and integrating emerging areas of researchand technologies, such as artificial intelligence, into the teaching of engineering design. The core ofdeveloping and delivering the DFA framework is the teaching of the technology of artificial intelligence(AI). Because these technologies will change the nature of the future, we seek to engage with the

IntroductionThe ubiquity and urgency of technological advancements have elevated the necessity forcomputing and other engineering professionals in our society. The demand for these occupationsis growing and is projected to grow at a rate of 26% from 2018-2028 [1]. This demand forattracting and retaining people to computing sectors has underlined the woefulunderrepresentation of minoritized women. Specifically, African American or Black, Hispanic orLatina/Latinx, and Native American or Alaskan Native women. According to the 2019 TaulbeeSurvey by the Computing Research Association, women
