concurrently stabilizing existing infrastructurewhile fostering the creation of new infrastructure and addressing global crises exacerbated bytechnology. Additionally, evaluating technological impacts on quality-of-all-life and non-lifeissues aims to enhance the diversity of human, organismal, environmental, and more-than-humanvoices in design methodologies [11] - [13]. Educating the next generation of engineers in designtheories and methodologies that transcend common paradigms is essential to their understandingof the impacts of proposed innovative technologies and reducing unforeseen consequences. Thiswill depend on broadening their knowledge base, which can significantly influence theircomprehension of design in today’s era of expanding system

discussed in previouschapters, multiple lenses informed the analysis of the data. These lenses include FeministPoststructuralism, Resilience, and Sense-Making. Feminist Poststructuralism highlights fouraspects of poststructuralism theory as previously defined by Foucault. The least that a feminist poststructuralism can do is explain the assumptions underlying the questions asked and answered … making their political [and social] assumptions explicit. Poststructuralism can also indicate the types of discourse from which particular feminist questions come, and locate them both socially and institutionally [21, p. 20].By focusing on the four tenets of the frame focused understanding and meaning

His research aims to better society by exploring how infrastructure materials can be made to be more environmentally sustainable and resilient; and by exploring how engineering can be structured to be more welcoming of diverse perspectives, which can fuel solutions in challenging societal inequities.Dr. Melissa Wood Aleman, James Madison University Dr. Melissa Aleman (Ph.D. University of Iowa) is Professor of Communication Studies at James Madison University and has published research using qualitative interviewing, ethnographic and rhetorical methods to examine

, more is learned to approach the problem again. These iterativesolutions are more than simply having more information at each stage, rather the problemsoutlined in each step intentionally set the students up for new kinds of failure. It is throughthis failure itself that they learn how to evaluate, iterate, and revalue to solve problems anew.Similarly to the rogue-like games outlined in the previous sections, with each ‘failure’ unlock-ing a new way of approaching the problem. For the case on Callous Objects, students can firstbe informed that their local area is looking to upgrade their bus infrastructure (hypothetically)and would like the design teams to create new concepts and designs for bus stops across thelocality.Once completed, the

Originally, these three network elements were funded by three separate NSFgrants. Going forward, Site and Node grants will be consolidated into a new regional“Hub” model.The Midwest I-Corps NodeThe Midwest I-Corps Node (now rolled into the Great Lakes I-Corps Hub) was one ofthe nine NSF-funded, regional Nodes in the United States. It was comprised of TheUniversity of Michigan, University of Illinois, Purdue University, and University ofAkron.

challenges, this study amplifies the clarioncall for fostering participation and inclusivity in engineering doctoral programs.IntroductionPromoting diversity within the engineering workforce is a critical national priority, underscoringthe need for broader participation and the cultivation of inclusivity [1]. The infusion of diversityinto the field of civil engineering in the United States yields numerous advantages, including amultifaceted project perspective, heightened project value, the enrichment of knowledge, talent,and ideas, access to expansive networks, and the production of superior final products necessaryfor global competitiveness in infrastructure [2]. Consequently, achieving this imperative requiresa comprehensive examination of the

Theses sixteen profiles illustrateadaptability of the VIP model across different academic settings.IntroductionWhile ABET Engineering Criteria 3-g calls for, “an ability to function on multidisciplinaryteams [1],” rich multidisciplinary experiences have yet to become the norm. A multidisciplinarydivision has been featured at ASEE Annual Conferences since 2006 [2]. The primary focus overthe last three years has been on specific projects, individual courses, and capstone design courses[2], but no specific model has proven compelling and/or resilient enough for wide-spreadadoption. If institutions of higher education are to offer rich multidisciplinary
