have also been many studies that explore engineering instructors’ teaching beliefs,and what factors and contexts influence their course decision-making. In a study that involvedten engineering instructors, Huang et al. (2007) found the importance of time as a factor thatinfluences teaching decisions. These instructors used creative ways to address the teachingchallenges, such as considering the students’ needs and being selective in terms of curriculumcontent. A literature review explored instructor decisions to integrate laboratory components intoengineering education, showing that instructor decisions were shaped by factors such asinstitutional context and policies, the role of society, and stakeholders such as students andaccreditation

Homero is interested in understanding how to develop effective and culturally relevant learning environments that can promote the sustainable competencies engineering students require to succeed in the contemporary workforce. His goal is to develop engineering education practices that value the capital that traditionally marginalized students, bring into the field. Homero aspires to change discourses around broadening participation in engineering and promoting action to change. Homero has been recognized as a Diggs Teaching

This paper describes ourdepartment’s recent experiences using flipped classroom instruction to improve feedback andattainment in our introductory thermodynamics course in Chemical Engineering at the Universityof Washington. In our implementation of a flipped class, traditional lectures are replaced with20~40 minute instructional videos that incorporate course content, laboratory demonstrations,and how-to tutorials. Students view and take notes on these materials outside of class, and takean online “Prep Quiz” that provides feedback on their basic understanding before coming toclass. Once in class, students spend most of

ofIndustry 4.0 which in turn leads to innovation, the significant impact of Industry 4.0. Like theearlier industrial revolutions, the changes of Industry 4.0, and the speed at which they areoccurring, also changes both the base technological literacy needed by the population at largeand some of the skills needed for engineers in particular. Figure 2. Expanded Model of Industry 4.0Engineering education, like all of our formal education mechanisms, is living in a similar periodof tumult. Many of the engineering tools and methods we have been relying on and teaching areof limited use in the Industry 4.0 world [e.g., 13], and will be of even less value in an Industry5.0 world.

New and revised classroom structures have been created to accommodate publichealth concerns while continuing to deliver effective education. Universities have adapted curriculum to be completely virtual or a combination of virtualand in-person learning. The combination of remote and traditional face-to-face learning,sometimes referred to as a hybrid or blended structure, integrates online discussion with limitedin-person class times [1].
