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.

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.

resources needed for positive and long-lasting COIL implementations here. 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. Introduction and BackgroundA.1 What is COIL? An introduction to the reviewCollaborative Online International Learning (COIL) aims to connect students and faculty indiscussions, teaching, or collaborative learning projects with higher education
institutional support departments to design instructionalstrategies that facilitate the transformation from information discovery through to knowledgecreation. Following this paradigm, we expect that graduates from geospatial literacy programswill have gained significant technical skills and insight on understanding imagery, geospatialanalytics, patterns and distributions of natural resources, boundary law doctrines, landdevelopment, and urban planning and be empowered to comment on social structures andinstitutional behaviors that infringe on the principles of DEI. This study contributes to theliterature on education by seeking to understand factors on engineering pedagogy that supportsDEI-informed learning outcomes for the GTCM.1
-Infused Future Proof Talents” [8]. 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

Requirements in hackathons were often only verbal, or toassist with future integrations between sub-teams. 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. It appeared that theparticipants had a toolset of software processes to leverage at any given time but chose how andto what extent to use those tools depending on the project and the expectations of the project thatthey were working on.Discussion and ImplicationsAdaptive ExpertiseAccording to Schwartz et al.

acrossthe country and around the world. 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. Whattools do we have in academia to examine these issues and find appropriate responses? To respond to the above issues (and many others), institutions of higher learning areseeking options to address these issues
].”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

Uponrequests, frequency can increase. In every term, each scholar met a Mentor+ advisor more thanonce, the CAPS PI, and/or their academic advisors. Mentor+ mentors conducted their individualmeetings based on the guideline given through the training session. Scholars also met theprofessional advisor and the PI to review and plan their academic work, extra-curricularactivities, fellowship opportunities, and discuss multi-tasking and time management. Onaverage, each scholar had 4 contact points (for mentor and advisement only). This is significantlyhigher than the average number of

The deliverable for these sessions is incorporated into the two small project deliverables.Example Figure 5: Week two hierarchical learning goalsWeek two’s topic is Prototyping. The overarching learning goal is “Build and test a physicalprototype to advance a design”. The learning goals’ hierarchical structure is illustrated in figure5, with the targeted learning goal for PFL/DP highlighted. That week, the DP/PFL activity incoaching session centers around the following prompt:“You are part of the design department of a company that makes products and
application of these sciences [math, chemistry, physics] to the design,analysis, and control of processes, including the hazards associated with theseprocesses” [4].While it is readily agreed that process safety education is important, there are manybarriers to implementation, such as course overload in the chemical engineeringcurriculum, faculty knowledge on process safety, and student overload for additionalexternal work. 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
InstructionThe setting for this learning is the regular classroom where the class usually meets. Classroomsat Penn State include computers with Internet access for instructor use connected to projectorsthat can display the instructor's screen to monitors and large screens easily visible to the entireclass. The technology, students are already bringing what they need into class already. Theirwillingness to use their mobile tech in class can be seen as a strength rather than a weakness; thismakes it easier to integrate a CRS like Nearpod or Top Hat into course instruction. Allowingstudents to use their own devices while linked on the University's excellent Wi-Fi networkallows the instructor to follow mobile learning best practices. [20]The lesson plan
