focused on issues that mightdifferentially impact marginalized communities.These studies demonstrate that there is a need to help engineering students better understand andappreciate the impact that their work has on society and develop skills needed to provideeffective and equitable solutions. This need is evident in developments in the criteria foraccrediting engineering programs. In October 2022, the ABET Engineering Area Delegationapproved an optional two-year pilot criteria that incorporates principles of diversity, equity andinclusion (DEI). One of the elements of these changes is that the curriculum must include“content that ensures awareness of diversity, equity, and inclusion for professional practiceconsistent with the institution’s

This paper will discuss the unique partnership between industry andacademia to help establish a brand-new industry-focused engineering program.IntroductionMany have called for reforms in engineering education. Rugarcia et al. (2000) argue thatengineering education instructional methods have changed very little in decades despite researchthat recommends more effective methods [1]. Tryggvason and Apelian (2006) write, “we need toexamine the (engineering) curriculum from a new perspective and accept the possibility thatchanges that go beyond minor tweaking are needed” [2].

As an unintended consequence, newly minted engineers, while graduatingfrom college technically adept, began to lack many of the basic abilities needed in real-worldengineering

Computing technologies are transforming sectors, and in the new industriallandscape, solving complex engineering problems calls for the use of computer systems as wellas cross-functional teams [1].

Therefore, NativeAmerican students who may not see/engage in this aspect may be particularly at risk of losingmotivation for - and possibly leaving - their engineering majors [1].

In this context, “social” as a termencompasses environmental, ethical, economic, health, safety, political, and cultural factors [5].The inherent duality of social and technical factors in the solution to a materials design problemis showcased beautifully in “the dual tetrahedron” proposed by Savage et al.

Differences in scoresby major are difficult to conclude due to small sample sizes, but the results could impact thecurricula of those specific majors, which diverge after the first year, and thus will be explored infuture work.

This course explores the use of real-world experience at a deeperlevel within the curriculum, with students engaged in team-oriented instructional methods. In recent years, strong interest has gained traction for the incorporation of project-basedlearning (PBL) in a variety of different engineering disciplines, e.g. [26-33]. These previous effortscan inform proposed curriculum. However, few prior efforts have occurred to implement PBLthroughout an entire engineering curriculum.

system theory curriculum in many Engineering schools is limited to computer simulations, mostly because of the limited control lab equipment suppliers and modest resources. The Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) program’s faculty and graduate students were tasked to design a low-cost system that connects the theoretical concepts learned in class and real-world applications. This system was designed with a modular approach to develop new experiments using the existing system. The developed system is an integration of National Instrument’s (NI) LabVIEW software, NI’s myDAQ (a portable and easy-to-program low-cost data acquisition device), a DC motor with a built-in rotary encoder, and a PCB with the motor
