engineering programs are added each year across the US and abroad, but anyone who hasstarted a new program knows that there are numerous “start-up” challenges to designing andlaunching a new program. The University of North Carolina (UNC) Chapel Hill, which isstarting a new undergraduate multi-disciplinary engineering major, and Franklin W. Olin Collegeof Engineering (Olin), which has “drive change in engineering education” as part of its mission,partnered to create EMERGE (Entrepreneurially Minded Engineering Resource Group forEducators) in the summer of 2020. EMERGE began as a free, optional add-on workshop to theannual Olin Summer Institute and has since grown into a strong cohort of over 40 institutionsthat meet monthly over Zoom and in person

[4]. However, the impact of direct mentorship-mentee setup is limited by the number ofexpert users, in this case, the three faculty members (a mechanical engineer, and electrical engineer, andan artist), and their available time to mentor other faculty. Our study was born out of a desire to quicklyincrease the number of faculty members who would be not only familiar with makerspace andcomfortable working with the array of available equipment, but who could also fully integrate the use ofthe space into their courses.Entrepreneurially Minded Learning & makerspacesEntrepreneurially Minded Learning (EML) is about equipping engineering students to think likeentrepreneurs, not necessarily to become entrepreneurs. The goal of EML is to help

development.We have developed and assessed an FLC model to support curricular and instructional change, aspart of a sustainable faculty development program. In this paper, we describe how this three-yearFLC was designed to promote entrepreneurially minded learning (EML) for our students anddeveloped into a transdisciplinary EML and design CoP. The FLC outcomes were based on theframework developed by the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) and fundedthrough a three-year grant from the Kern Family FoundationWe advanced our FLC model through three iterations and adapted it to the needs of our faculty,while also dealing with constraints from the COVID pandemic. To lower barriers to facultyparticipation, we designed our program to take place
mentoring practicesAbstractThis full research paper discusses the experiences of five Latiné/x faculty in engineering andwhat motivated them towards developing equity-minded educational practices for theirundergraduate students. The five faculty participants provided written reflections on how theirlife and professional experiences have informed said practices. From a social constructionismparadigm and using narrative inquiry methodology, a combination of in vivo and descriptivecoding (first cycle) followed by emergent and focused coding (second cycle) were used by thefirst three authors to generate a codebook. The theoretical frameworks of Community CulturalWealth, LatCrit, and Hidden Curriculum guided the data analysis and interpretation
for improving problemsolving in engineering mechanics; (4) Extended Reality Enhancements to the Thermal SciencesCurriculum; and (5) Hands-on, minds-on, and game-based learning for Solid MechanicsCurriculum. Cohort 1 was primarily composed of Academic Professional Track (APT) Facultywhose primary role in the department was teaching. Of these, a majority of proposals were in themechanics and materials areas but not many in the thermal sciences and dynamics and controlsareas. A conscious effort was made in year 2 to recruit faculty in these areas; thus cohort 2consisted of about 7-8 Tenure track faculty in areas related to thermal sciences and mechanics.They were paired with APT faculty so that there was a mix of different faculty in each team
an opportunity for research that can guideimplementation of ungrading and thus enable other scholarship.With the above context in mind, this evidence-based practice paper asks: 1) how do educatorsimplement ungrading in engineering courses? 2) what do educators vary in order to adaptungrading to their unique educational contexts? 3) how can we characterize the pedagogicaldesign space of radical or non-traditional grading schemes? We ask these questions as we do inorder to situate our work as a research through design effort, specifically the approach advocatedby Gaver (2012) in which a set of design solutions are interrogated to determine their invariancesas well as the dimensions of variation. In framing our effort as research through design
