. Byunderstanding the cultural dimensions, we will be able to develop pedagogies that allowbetter collaboration between engineers and architects to improve communication,reducing conflicts and helping to have a more productive work environment in thefuture.BackgroundTo guide this study, we used the cultural dimensions model of Hofstede, who based hisresearch on a survey of IBM employees in more than forty countries in 1966 [18], [19].To characterize the cultural traits of different societies. [1], [11]. For Hofstede, cultureis defined as the collective propagation of the mind, which manifests itself not only invalues but also in more superficial forms [19]. Hofstede introduced the concept ofdimensions of culture by investigating the philosophical
construction because they want to help others. Programssuch as Habitat for Humanity and other programs that benefit the community must behighlighted when recruiting women, therefore this should be considered as we seekimprovements related to student perceptions of the classroom environment, learning satisfaction,and sense of belonging.At the 2021 ASEE virtual conference, Asgarpoor et al. [14] proposed that it is the obligation ofengineering leadership educators to consider that our role extends beyond the transmission oftechnical knowledge and that it is our responsibility to help engineering students develop agrowth mindset and discover the sophistication of mind to celebrate diversity, equity, andinclusion in their daily lives, school, and workplace
students feel valued and respected. This includes active learning style classroom activities to foster open and respectful discussions [16 - 18], encouraging active participation from all students, and being mindful of cultural sensitivity and bias in engineering classrooms. • Curriculum Development: Ensuring that the course curriculum is inclusive and reflects the diverse perspectives and experiences of all students [19] through incorporating diverse case studies, examples, and readings into course materials including lectures and design challenges. • Student Recruitment: Active recruitment of a diverse student body to participate in the course, including students from underrepresented groups in
shared understanding of the project’s goals and objectives.This can be beneficial for teams as it helps them to work together more effectively and efficiently.MotivationsWith this deficit gap in mind, the authors have taken an interdepartmental cross-functional approachteach cross functional communication and collaboration to Software Engineering, with the focusbeing on communication with teams that are not within the software development collective, andimportantly are part of a distributed (not on site) organization. While cross- functional collaborationand communication between departments is not new to the teaching of software engineering. Theapproach outlined in this paper is unique in that the focus is on distributed team-based learning

Many of these students are not drivers and canalso have a hard time understanding the impacts of engineers and planners on their daily life.Each module includes: learning objectives, a short overview presentation slide deck, a series ofactivity-based learning tasks, and a closing/debrief handout, group activity, and/or presentation.With the different amounts of time allotted for each of the five modules, the outreach program isanticipated to be finished in 2.5 hours, e.g., an approximate morning or afternoon session for atypical summer camp program.

the formation of the engineer in mind, the instructor has implemented a mastery basedapproach in an undergraduate reinforced concrete design course. In the course, students must showaptitude in key course learning objectives, separated into three skill sets: Required Skills, MajorSkills, and Minor Skills. To test students in the skills, the instructor adapted previous homework,in class assignments, and exam questions to meet the needs of the listed skill. For some skills, thestudents can submit more than once, whereas in others, the students might need to submit a newassignment problem. In all cases, students have the chance to be evaluated, receive correction, andthen be evaluated again. This cycle builds trust between students and

I tend not to think about how my identity is affecting my interpretation of datawithout prompting. As a non-engineer, educator, and social scientist, my biases are that empathyand critical thinking are integral to the development of deep-thinking.

Understanding “unmarked users” in medical technology designAdoption of new medical technologies is happening at breakneck speed, from decision-makingalgorithms to electronic health records to personalized medicine [2]. Much of this developmentoccurs under a universalist framework that considers a device made for one patient will likelywork for all patients. This is what Constanza-Chock refers to as designing for the “unmarked”user, whose gender, race, class, and age are not specified [3]. Yet in the minds of the engineer,this user likely has a certain set of assumed normal characteristics: English language proficient,with access to broadband internet, literate, with a normally
