oxidative stress in in vitro models of Parkinson’s disease. During her prior graduate and postdoctoral work in neurodegeneration, April mentored several undergraduate, graduate, and clinical researchers and developed new methods for imaging and tracking mitochondria from living zebrafish neurons. In her work for the EERC and Pitt-CIRTL, April Dukes collaborates on educational research projects and facilitates professional development (PD) on instructional and mentoring best practices for current and future STEM faculty. As an adjunct instructor in the Department of Neuroscience at the Univer- sity of Pittsburgh since 2009 and an instructor for CIRTL Network and Pitt-CIRTL local programming since 2016, April is

Educational Resources (OER). The ACE curriculum includes anintroduction to accessibility, best practices for designing various types of resources, and learningactivities that help participants begin using their new skills. As a STEM institution, the courseheavily focuses on accessibility related issues in STEM disciplines, such as mathematicalequations, tables, graphs, and diagrams. This paper discusses the development of the ACE coursecurriculum and lessons learned while supporting accessible OER development in STEMdisciplines. The paper concludes with areas for future development of the course, includingexpansion of STEM related content and incorporation of participant feedback to continueimproving the course.IntroductionMines has been funded by

a list of projects that are either internally assigned or assigned through anindustry sponsorship agreement. Students will be given a chance to choose which project to workon. For each project, students will provide answers for initial research questions that include theproject's scope, resources needed, and a preliminary design schedule to achieve the goal of themechanical design project. Once the final project is selected, each team will conduct a literaturereview to identify the best practices of design to address the problem of the selected project. Theinstructor will guide students on conducting literature reviews utilizing ME professional journalsspecifically published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME

those dispositions, skill levels,and practical tasks that are reasonably expected of graduates.6Within the United States, a similar call has been made for incorporating an entrepreneurialmindset into undergraduate engineering curricula. EM is a multi-faceted concept comprising awide range of characteristics, skills, and attitudes; its curricular presence is often implemented inways that enable an institution to best leverage its resources, including faculty background,available partnerships, and funding opportunities. 7 As defined by KEEN, entrepreneurial mindsetis a habit of mind geared toward action; a way of thinking about the world that empowers peopleto identify opportunities and create value in any context.8 Network members from more than

Forexample, the Izmir space was supported by the local government and presented itself as a “craftand vocational factory” primarily for small-scale manufacturing, whereas the Dortmund spacewas privately owned and whose “purpose was oriented to provide active and participatorycitizens in research studies, practices and projects.”4 These spaces show how maker spaces arebecoming increasingly popular around the world, and ER is likely to follow soon.3.5.3 LEGO Mindstorms and ArduinosThe reviewed literature indicated that Arduinos and LEGO Mindstorms are facing significantchallenges in terms of their longevity as popular platforms
