For each module, the regular weeklycourse routine is: course instructor(s) introduces a fundamental concept in one or more of thecore topics (Materials Science, Graphics Design, Computing, Engineering Design, Practice &Profession) along with a corresponding activity or related milestone of a design projectundertaken by all students, these happen in 3 hours of lectures each week Then, in each 3-houronline lab, one of the 11 IAIs gathers a maximum of 80 students

Isabel noted that addressingmarginalizing behaviors done by peers is out of her control, but she felt that she controls herability to study and remain focused on her end-goal of graduating with an engineering degree.Isabel believed that the deficit perspectives of Black and Brown students were part of everydaylife, something that they would need to get used to while at college, and especially throughouttheir career. Our theme of “Marginalization is just part of Life” also aligned with findingsreported by Wolfe et al. [10]. For example, in Wolfe et al.’s work, exclusion based on race

Students noted that this factor led to higher levels ofengagement and academic success, while providing the necessary opportunities to build andsustain relationships with peers. Attending class physically helped curb the negative and damagingeffects of isolation and served boost their overall socioemotional health. Future studies willcontinue to examine the long-term effects of learning in isolation, how students learned to copeduring difficult circumstances, and how faculty members work to accommodate student learningneeds.REFERENCES[1] Russell, S.

Specifically, a survey was created to determine if theSafety Modules achieved the following goals: • Emphasizing how process safety is a professional obligation of a chemical engineer • Increasing how often students think about safety • Increasing student confidence in completing

A recent (2018-19) overhaul of the THORS library standardizedthe course length to approximately 2-3 hours of material. This enabled students to reasonablycomplete an entire course in one week. Starting in 2019, students were assigned weekly coursesfor the first half of the semester and then were able to “Choose their own” curriculum of sevenTHORS courses for the second half of the semester.

traditional engineering programs arehistorically rooted in the military developed engineering education from the early 1800’s [34],[35]. Though the profession has adapted and evolved greatly over the past 200 years, with thedevelopment of new technologies and roles for engineers, little in the core engineering curriculahas changed. Many engineering education programs are already struggling to stick to the originaldesign of a rigorous and technically focused curriculum, while simultaneously attempting tointegrate the use of new engineering technology into a brief 4-5 year time frame.Understandably, there then remains little room for the integration of leadership skills and coursesinto the curricula as it is already seeking to cover an abundance of

preliminaryexperience is showing that the three weeks of training, the self-reflection and the observationsare creating a more collaborative environment for the teaching fellows. They are quicker toadjust their classroom practices and seem more flexible in the classroom (e.g., the projectorwasn’t working at the beginning of class, so we just did the AV Scenarios handout untilclassroom support arrived).

Coursecontent is delivered through videos released on a weekly basis, with the following exceptions.The last two weeks of the fall semester are devoted to proof-of-concept fabrication and reviewfor the final exam, so no new content is presented. The final four weeks of the spring semesterare self-guided: each team must select three different parts within their project (e.g., gears, bolts,springs, belts), fully analyze the dynamics and loading condition(s) of each part, and determineits factor of safety for static and fatigue failure.

effective team requires the inclusion of individual members' contributions to supportthe team's objectives. This definition of team building can support engineering educators in developingactivities and evaluation s that foster collaborative and inclusive environment environments thatencourage the collective understanding of the complexities of the engineering curriculum.This research paper will be grounded on the theoretical framework proposed by Van den Bossche andcollaborators (2006) for building high performance teams by identifying social and cognitive factors incollaborative learning environments [13]. This framework has been used to describe engineering teams.The dimension of this model permits the analysis of what type of activities can be
