instruction–making activelearning even more important in remote instruction.Not every learning objective is best tackled with a full class period of active learning. Using avariety of instructional methods will help the students to succeed in different learning modes [13]and increase their learning flexibility [14] [15] which will benefit them in the classroom and intheir careers. Without denying all the benefits of active learning, students also need to becomecapable listeners, note takers, and questioners if they want to successfully participate in projectproposals, planning sessions, and public meetings as engineers.Whether using passive or active instructional methods, motivation matters.

with SLPs ortheir patients. Even though the design of instrumentation and technologies in service ofclinicians and patients clearly aligns with the skills of engineers, spontaneous collaborationbetween these two fields does not often occur. Therefore, there is an opportunity to increasecollaboration between SLPs and engineers to identify unmet needs in clinical practice andincrease research collaborations between these groups. This opportunity motivated the design ofour REU.

In addition, we offer a plan to implement a short-term COIL-based project in a chemical engineering course with faculty participants from the US and ElSalvador. Any engineering educators planning to implement COIL activities can use thesesuggestions. Ultimately, this low-cost pedagogy could significantly aid in promoting cultural,technical, and global competence in engineering students in the next post-pandemic years.A.

Thus, effective and sustainabletransformation starts with training and instilling positive values among educators whileensuring an institutional ecosystem to promote quality engineering education for excellence inthe 21st century. Educators are the frontlines and critical resources for higher education institutions (HEI)towards delivering quality education to their nations. Today’s educators are needed to be moreresponsible in better preparing graduates for the 21st century, which requires them to solveproblems using technology and apply higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) to solve complexproblems. Therefore, educator readiness is a significant factor in meeting 21st-centurychallenges. Planning talents

Diagramming was rarely used, except in thecase of participant Frankie, who now uses simplified diagramming to create a plan of action forhe and his team if they have an idea for a hackathon project upon arrival.

Unfortunately, these historical and often treasured campusstructures can inadvertently serve to degrade a feeling of “belongedness” in members ofhistorically marginalized and under-represented groups.[1, 2] In fact, this degradedbelongedness in groups is often directly contradicted by the welcoming aspects of theuniversity’s recruiting materials (carefully staged with a quota appropriate number of women,African-Americans, Latinx, etc.) and the objectives of many university strategic plans.

].”ProcessThe current equity-centered effort at the University of Michigan’s College of Engineering (CoE)began coalescing during a 5-year DEI strategic plan, which was launched in 2015. During thesummer of 2020, however, the experiences of the “double” pandemic [24] accentuated theurgency of implementing the plan. As a result, the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education(ADUE) formed a committee to plan, socialize, iterate, and execute on a race and ethnicityprogram for CoE undergraduate students. The committee members included students, faculty,staff and administrative leaders from the CoE with a variety of identities (white, black, brown,male, and female) and expertise (engineering, social justice, pedagogy, and instructional design).Some of the

In a study published in 2016, only 23% of responding U.S. chemicalengineering departments had a required process safety course [5]. Due to courseoverload in most chemical engineering curriculum plans, it seems ideal to integrateprocess safety within core chemical engineering courses [6]. However, implementationwithin core classes
