by soliciting input about the content and structure ofprogramming through surveys. Participation was strong with 135 faculty responses (20%response rate) and 490 staff responses (63% response rate). Data were also collected from peerinstitutions which included best practices, incentives, communication plans, and racial equityeducation content or training efforts. The lesson we learned from this phase is the intentionaldesigning of questions for all audiences which honors the iterative process of reflection,reflexivity, and inquiry.DEFINE PHASEIn the Define phase, the data collected in the Explore phase converge with the context to helpidentify next steps.

The course includes computer aided design (CAD) and mostassessments are based on the completion of team-based projects. Learning outcomes include anability to describe the engineering profession in regards to an academic plan, accreditation,certification, disciplines, societies, ethical practice, and regional industries, which are introducedthrough professional engineers. Case studies spanning global, multicultural, environmental, andsocietal contexts, challenge the students to apply the NSPE code of ethics to engineeringsituations.

The ability to connect ideas across disciplines and apply abstractknowledge to real problems and scenarios—as one does when teaching others—is a necessityfor the development of a strong professional identity [7]. Consequently, it is the integration of knowledge transformation (teaching) into graduateSTEM education to support the creation of a strong professional identity that led us to create theGraduate Identity Formation through Teaching (GIFT) project.

In 2010, ICAO adopted two goals: “tocontinuously improve CO2 efficiency by an average of 1.5 per cent per annum from 2009 until2020, to achieve carbon neutral growth from 2020 and to reduce its carbon emissions by 50 percent by 2050 compared to 2005 level” [2], [3].

In that sense, strategies such as co-teaching become essentialto blur the boundaries, eliminating the boundaries of the disciplines in practice.However, the biggest challenge consists in involving non-academic voices in the engineeringeducation process. From the perspective of Martinez [19], to involve society in transdisciplinarySTEAM education, service-learning is a strategy to integrate knowledge. For that, problem-basedand project-based learnings would be essential strategies to identify real social problems to besolved by university students

behaviors are mainly located at 3_Mechnical Use[9], [10]. At this level, instructors begin to change and are struggling with the initial steps relatedto logistical implementation and skill acquisition [10]. This work-in-progress paper aims toanswer the research question: What behaviors and experiences do instructors report in theunprecedented transition that pertain to early implementations of online active learning issuesand solutions?MethodsParticipantsThis study is part of a research project on the intervention in instructors’ adoption of activelearning, and the larger project recruited instructors who taught first- or second-year STEMcourses at 56 institutions in the US [14]. In the summer of 2020, we invited forty STEMinstructors from ten
career outcomes [10]. In addition, capstone courses arenow explicitly promoting entrepreneurial versions of the course; while many capstone projects aredefined by industry partners and sponsors or sometimes academic projects, courses are now beingpiloted that specifically cater to the needs of students who want to discover and work on their ownideas [11].Entrepreneurially infused educational opportunities are also catching on with some vigor in designcourses before senior year. These cornerstone experiences were developed for first and secondyear engineering students based on the known impacts of design on self-efficacy and persistencewithin engineering through the formation of an engineering identity [5]. Existing frameworks, suchas the

Sincethese skills can be promoted by engineering design projects [1][4][5][6][7] providingengineering design opportunities for ALL children, regardless of their abilities and backgrounds,is necessary.Inclusive Engineering EducationHaving inclusive engineering education is not a new effort. Many researchers and educators havebeen taking actions to diversify engineering education. In a systematic literature review, Hynesand colleagues [8] reported that the word “diversity” was one of the most frequent words in theword count they conducted on studies
Thinking in Engineering EducationAbstractThis research paper provides a case study of a large Engineering Science program, with aparticular focus on perceptions and practices related to first principles thinking from alumni,faculty and students. As part of a broader project designed to realign program goals, practicesand outcomes, this study included semi-structured interviews and focus groups, designed tounderstand how program stakeholders conceptualize first principles thinking, and how theyperceive the benefits or utility of such an approach.Through the historical analysis of the engineering curriculum, a key tension identified is thefocus on foundational mathematics and science, which is contrasted with a focus on professionalpractice and the
students, and non-engineeringprofessionals [5]. Our first-year engineering students are using the results of the survey as a toolto compare and contrast how different users (i.e. differences in age, gender, education, etc.)interpret displays and controls. These comparisons are composed in short reflections by theengineering students to facilitate discussions of social, cultural, and educational design biases.Introducing the discussion of inclusivity in design can be accomplished in many ways. We areproposing the use of a compatibility survey and reflection to drive unit discussions. Some otherapproaches to this quandary include course development, gamification, and design projects.

ways.ANT has spread to fields far beyond the sociology and STS, and scholars in these fields have also appliedand adapted ANT to their own needs and interests. Among other fields, ANT is now employed in design(Yaneva 2009), media studies (Couldry 2008), urban studies (Farías and Bender 2010), political economy(Fine 2005), project management (Burga and Rezania 2017), accounting (Justesen and Mouritsen 2011),and education (Fenwick and Edwards 2010a). As the theory itself would suggest, different scholars andfields have emphasized and drawn from different ANT texts and ideas, which causes ANT to betransformed as new actors establish their own understandings and networks of meaning.Our goal in this paper is to explore how and why ANT is being used in
