NationalAcademy of Engineering, through its NAE Committee on the Diversity of the EngineeringWorkforce, sponsors an Enginergirl.org website that explains engineering principles [6]. Whenthe "KISS (keep it simple stupid)" principle conflicts with the "keep the target user in mind"principle, an engineer makes a choice. The data curation process retains the engineeringprinciples to prepare those community college students interested in engineering.ImplementationData curation examples on spatial data in stochastic calculus Fokker Planck equation, SolarDynamics Observatory data, T-cell spatial-temporal data, exoplanet archive data, and Hubblequasar data are presented.The stochastic calculus Fokker Planck equation could be applied whenever there is a

/device operations and materials science/stress analyses,respectively, to contribute to the course design and learning effectiveness.The course framework was structured with the following learning objectives in mind.• Establishing relevance: Based on a preliminary survey results from a total of 31 engineering students in the department before the course was offered, including 20 ME and 11 EE students, the majority of ME students (about 75%) did not consider taking the course. Most of them assumed it involved advanced circuit analysis and electronics architecture that they were not familiar with. About 36% of EE students did not think the course was relevant, with some of them linking reliability to failure of mechanical
