the future of the mechanical engineering profession fromthe perspective a small, private undergraduate engineering institution. Also presented are somecurricular recommendations for balancing the emerging trends with practical considerationswithin the context of a traditional mechanical engineering program.IntroductionThere have been numerous highly-publicized efforts focused on planning reform ofundergraduate engineering education. These reforms are proposed in response to rapid andprofound changes in technology, student demographics, and global socioeconomic trends. Inthis paper we will summarize the findings of three important proposals for undergraduateengineering educational reform: • The Engineer of 2020: Visions of Engineering

Since the number of assignments turned in varied between sections andwithin each section as the semester progressed, the number of assignments graded per hour wascalculated each week. The average across the entire semester for the TA assigned to EX1 wasapproximately 16.0 problems per hour, and the TA assigned to EX2 averaged approximately Page 25.1450.1224.6 problems per hour.

DEI initiatives.The formation of the student DEI committee followed a democratic process. Both undergraduateand graduate students were encouraged to participate through self-nominations and peernominations, ensuring a wide outreach and participation. This process aimed to identify studentswho were not only passionate about DEI but also represented the diverse demographics of thedepartment. After a careful selection process, a seven-member student committee was formed,characterized by a diverse mix of gender and ethnicity, including one graduate student. Thisstructure was intentional to mirror the department's diversity and ensure a broad range ofviewpoints.The student DEI committee's primary role was to serve as a liaison between the student

Coercion, force, or other forms of persuasion used to incite behaviorfall outside the RAA’s purview.Moreover, the RAA also recognizes the variability in a behavior’s specificity and generality. Forinstance, a behavior could be precisely defined, specifying an action (e.g., providing feedback toall engineering team members) within a designated timeframe (e.g., the next 6 months).Alternatively, a broader formulation might encompass providing feedback to any peer while anundergraduate student. This variability prompts researchers to navigate a balance between thespecificity of a behavior and its generalizability, acknowledging that a behavior’s level of

STEM as a career path[2]. Not only does this underrepresentation of low-SES graduates impact the overall numbers ofSTEM professionals in the U.S., but it also means that those graduates are missing out on all ofthe financial and professional benefits that a job in STEM offers.To address the representation gap in STEM for low-income students, the National ScienceFoundation created the Scholarships in STEM (S-STEM) grant program. NSF seeks to supportevidence-based initiatives that will support low-income STEM students financially and in othernon-financial ways. The Endeavour Program was developed as one of those initiatives, and itprovides scholarships for 80 students over their first two years in a STEM major. Knowing thatthe link between

First, the university follows a “credit” system, as opposed to a “credit hour” system,with the expectation that a one credit course is four credit hours. Students in engineering mustreceive 34 credits to graduate; equivalent to 136 credit hours. The ECE curriculum consists of 32one-credit and four half-credit courses. Engineering students take 4.0 or 4.5 credits per semester,or 16 to 18 credit hours. Second, PALACE has a strict requirement that students graduate ineight semesters in order to both ease financial constraints for students and the institution andmaintain a strong four year graduation rate. There are several aspects of this institutionalrequirement that impact the curriculum. First

Boal developed a number ofunique theatrical styles under the TO umbrella, each designed to produce different outcomes, andwe will describe two of these below in the context of seminar activities. A common aspect usedacross the various categories of TO, however, is the involvement of a facilitator or director. Thisperson serves as a bridge between the actors and spect-actors, but remains separate from both soas to not influence the interpretation of events. Boal refers to this role as the “Joker” in referenceto the Joker card’s neutrality (with regard to suit) in a deck of playing cards [34]. Note

To follow those same stepsin the next design will generally not be successful because the story and the problem behindthe design will necessarily be different.

Boekaerts theorized that the quality of a student’s learning process largely depends on thestudent’s goal orientation1: mastery mode where students see school work as an opportunity tolearn new ideas and coping mode where students see school work as an opportunity todemonstrate their abilities. The goal orientations are considered modes because they are notfixed traits of an individual; as students engage in their learning environment, they work tobalance these two goals: to learn and to protect ego15. Therefore, the balance between themastery mode and the coping mode is changing and fluid. While a student can start in
