community involvement, assuming NGO staff has theflexible schedule to do so. ETH teams can also influence how NGOs enact their ability toscale up and empower communities by conceiving designs that communities will be able tomaintain, operate, and build in different contexts and at different times.Once an NGO partner has been chosen, it is important to spend appropriate time developingthat partnership through curricula where students and NGOs find a common design languageand a balance between NGO goals and course objectives. Using available design frameworkssuch as those outlined above, design pedagogy must be carefully crafted in partnership withNGOs to strengthen student learning, NGO effectiveness, and community empowerment.8.

home’s volume to surface area ratio, which reduces the total amount ofheat transfer through the walls. The homes in Figures 3(m), (n), and especially (q) and (r) werebuilt into the ground to make an Earthen home. This also increases the efficiency of the home byadding insulation to the home’s walls and reducing the rate of heat transfer through the walls.The home in Figure 3(m) and (n) also featured a large rainwater collection system. The homes inFigures 3(a), (b), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), (l), (m), (n), (s), and (t) all incorporated a PV system.Considering that solar photovoltaics is a major portion of the course, and students gainsignificant lab experience working with PV system components, it is not surprising that moststudents incorporate
laboratory experiences. For example, the Battery lab and PowerGeneration lab, described in this paper, are designed based on our department's energy systemsresearch.ACKNOWLEDGMENTSThanks to faculty, IPAC members, and students at Penn State Mechanical Engineering for theirsuggestions and innovative ideas on this work.

criteria during the 1996 reform effortknown as “Engineering Criterion 2000” (EC 2000). Also, because of EC 2000’s architects’decision to embrace outcomes assessment—but to do so only in part—ABET’s programevaluators (PEVs) were placed in the difficult position of having to balance the goals ofeducational standardization, improvement, and innovation across the diverse spectrum ofinstitutions through which we deliver engineering education in the United States.The case study is also significant because outcomes assessment has been part and parcel to theexpansion of neoliberal modes of governance not only in engineering education, but highereducation as a whole. Indeed, EC 2000 served as an important stepping stone for the generalimplementation of

for Engineering Education, 2021Seeing the invisible: The year this white woman spent learning at an HSIIntroductionI have spent over 40 years in engineering. When I first attended the university to learnengineering, I was full of the messages of the 1970’s: Women can do anything men can do(better), I can have it all, the doors to access professional success are wide open. However, littledid I know that while this may be true, the cost to anyone not a tall white male from a privilegedbackground was great. It took me years to interpret what I experienced through the lens of thewhite patriarchy, but for the last 20 years, I have studied and reflected on how we in Engineeringand Education have participated in the inequities we see all around us

1Evaluation FindingsThe External Project Evaluator designed a retrospective pretest survey instrument to assessseveral aspects of the workshops including satisfaction with the overall workshop logistics,content, delivery methods, and the effectiveness of the workshops. The instruments also hadsections which assessed specific workshop objectives, and participants were asked to rate theirperceived improvement on (i) their level of understanding of AM or SM concepts, (ii)proficiency level on a number of skills demonstrated during the workshop, (iii) the extent towhich they felt the workshop objectives had been met, and (iv) the relevance of the content totheir work. The instrument(s) contained both closed-ended and open-ended questions.All workshop
at theirmeasurement data and noticed that all these students measured the feedback loop many timescompared to their peers. For example, student 11’s final six measurements were clicking back andforth between the two breadboard rows on either side of the loose feedback wire. This makes sense,since from the picture presented, the circuit is wired correctly, and the voltage difference betweenthese points is surprising. Many feedback measurements strongly indicate that the student noticedsomething was wrong in this region, but it is not sufficient to indicate that they understood the rootcause of the issue: 5 students measured the feedback loop at least 4 times without writing thecorrect cause in the follow-up questions. Since students are so
theirmouth and nose, including potentially inadequate or ineffective masks. Three possibilities wereidentified: 1. Allow students to attend lab wearing any face covering of their choice 2. Assess the adequacy of face coverings on a case-by-case basis and ask students to leave or change their masks if they are deemed to be inadequate 3. Specify the exact type(s) of face masks which are permitted in labThe first option had obvious problems – from a safety standpoint it was desirable to ensure thatface coverings were adequate and effective. With the second option, instructors would have beenput in the position of having to inspect masks and assess their suitability, which would have beenproblematic in terms of liability and logistics. That
