, such as the mid-Atlantic, to prevent more disasters at sea.The OceanGate disaster can be used as a valuable lesson to educate the future leaders ofengineering. Cultural vitality and social responsiveness must come from the design of thetechnology itself rather than the dreams and ideas of one person. This shift encourages acollaborative engineering community during design and development to provide a diverse rangeof perspectives. Emerging leaders in technology must serve as role models for those whoendeavor new technology and must demonstrate responsible and ethical engineering while stillstriving for innovation. Additionally, sound engineering choices benefit society as a whole. HadOceanGate not sunk, the American and Canadian coast guards
Course-Based Undergraduate Research in First-Year EngineeringExtended AbstractThis presentation describes an adaptable model for implementing a course-based undergraduateresearch experience (CURE) in an introductory engineering design and computing course.Students work toward course learning outcomes focused on computer programming, engineeringdesign processes, and effective teamwork in the context of multi-term research and developmentefforts to design, build, and test low-cost microcontroller devices. Project customers includeprofessors implementing CUREs in science lab courses, other needs at the college, andcommunity partners. Students choose from a menu of projects each term, with a typical courseoffering involving four to

Learning Project-based learning is a commonly used teaching method in engineering due to itshands-on approach. Project-based learning is centered around the learner and allows them toinvestigate topics through experimentation [9]. Therefore, students have the flexibility to tailortheir approach to a project according to their preferred learning preferences. Project-basedlearning helps students with hands-on technology experience, the ability to work autonomouslyand take responsibility, and fosters inclusion and teamwork [10]. These are important attributeswhen it comes to working in industry since most projects are assigned and given a specificdeadline [11]. Some students might face challenges when switching from a traditional classroomto

to address the needs of Latinx students, especially at Hispanic-Serving Institutions(HSIs) [10], [11], [12]. A 2017 paper highlights various pedagogical approaches to improving math outcomes,including active learning, hands-on projects, mentoring programs, technology integration, and peerstudy groups [13]. However, there remains a need for innovative and cost-effective mathremediation methods. In this National Science Foundation (NSF) funded project, engineering andmath faculty from a large R1 institution and a Southwest community college are collaborating todevelop engaging methods to teach pre-calculus math fundamentals. This collaboration also includesa team of faculty from the College of Education and International Institute on

of the goals was to develop a programmable automation controller course that would exposestudents to a wide range of current technologies in automation used in industries today.We interviewed automation controls engineers at electric utilities and water/wastewater facilitiesfor what technologies they would want engineering graduates to be trained in industrialautomation. They emphasized process control programming (PID), Object OrientedProgramming utilizing custom Function Block development, cybersecurity, and industrystandard communication protocols to intelligent electronic devices (PLCs, VFDs, meters).The course aims to introduce students to the various concepts in automation and process control,to become familiar with the programming and

requires the use of screen reading softwarewhere the end-user must translate the LaTeX code and punctuation. Microsoft Word’s latestversion of Equation Editor is compatible with screen reading software and provides mathematicnotation in a tractable format. STEM courses rely heavily on visually-delivered information in the form of diagrams, graphs,charts, images, etc. Being able to access visual references is assumed in an engineering course, soteaching methods must be revised to deliver similar information in either a tactile, audio, oralternative method. Access plans for education technologies must be developed such as thosedescribed in Clippinger et al. [5] There have been several efforts to automatically create tactile graphics for the
application oftheoretical knowledge. Additionally, this project addresses real-world challenges, furtherenhancing problem-solving skills and enhancing students’ ability to approach complex problemsfrom multiple perspectives. This interdisciplinary approach fosters a well-rounded skill set,making the students valuable in industries where these technologies converge.As future engineers, the students have a significant environmental responsibility. The decisionsand actions of engineers have substantial impacts on the environment, both positive andnegative. Since the project involves assessing and minimizing environmental impact to reducecarbon emissions by 2060, therefore the projects contributes to a broader understanding of theenvironmental
