I, and many of my colleagues, while noting the historyof marginalization of people who look and think like us in engineering contexts, beganquestioning the value systems that undergird the engineering research enterprise in which weoperate. We noted discrepancies between the espoused values of the enterprise and those thatwere enacted by some of the agents that operate in engineering research spaces. For example, inour graduate context, we noted an espoused desire for equity and inclusion alongside aperpetuation of stress culture, a centering of White theories in our foundational classes, and alack of accommodation for non-traditional and neurodivergent students.

practices of innovation across academic units, although it may sound like a simpleidea, can be an extremely complicated process. Complications to cross-college collaborativeteaching arise due to a variety of institutional barriers. To provide just one illustrativeexample, a thorny problem (that should not be so) is assigning credit to faculty in differentcolleges who are teaching courses in the same room at the same time. Accordingly, thisresearch project is in the process of applying a design-based research (DBR) approach todevelop an educational model to help guide the transformation of traditional undergraduatelearning experiences to span academics silos.A DBR approach was selected for this project as this methodology supports the blending
