Engineering was introduced as a new course in the School,the first of its kind anywhere in the country [1]. The course was originally designed by a facultymember from the department’s structural engineering, mechanics and materials group, withexpertise and interest in computational mechanics, origami engineering, and topologyoptimization. The purpose of the course was to familiarize students with concepts andalgorithms to construct and analyze origami structures that address engineering and societalproblems. Origami folding techniques and differential geometry were also incorporated into thecourse [2,3,4]. The course was offered each Fall semester for the next four consecutive years,averaging 42 students per course.The course was well received by

This work seeks to answer this question bycritically looking at formative assessment, such as homework and quizzes, and how to encouragestudents to reap the most benefit. It is generally well known that students completing regularformative assignments, such as homework, helps them to understand the material and performbetter on exams [2]-[5].

In addition to the sheervolume and breadth of expected learning objectives for the course, Machine Design is challengedby a lack of consensus among engineering educators as to the conceptual approach to the coretechnical content and the pedagogical techniques used to balance theory versus practice ofmachine design [2,4-6].

Reactive – We react with a safety drive after things go wrong, and then we stop. 3. Calculative – We have systems that can manage all hazards. 4. Proactive – We continue to work on problems that we identify. 5. Generative – We look for new areas of risk and we do not take past success as a guarantee against future failure.If the proposed safety education interventions influenced student perceptions about safety, then thosechanges could be assessed through the lens of safety culture.MethodologyWe introduced three specific educational interventions, e.g., safety moments, near miss

engineering and physical science stillstruggle with equal numerical representation at the undergraduate level [1]. Moreover, thesegender gaps become more noticeable and persistent at the postdoctoral and faculty level in manySTEM fields [2, 3]. In addition to numerical representation, social and climate factors often sendsubtle (and not-so subtle) cues to women about whether or not they belong[4]. Unfortunately,women often experience aggressions, both at the micro and macro level, both in fields where theyhave high representation and where they do not. In order to make lasting impacts on these “chillyclimates” that hinder women’s sense of belonging [5], it is imperative that people be made awareof the lived experiences of women and women of color in
