We defined Disciplinary Connections to note instances wherestudents reflected on how specific mechanics topics might be useful or important for success intheir area of study or eventual career. The following excerpt shows a student reflecting on howtheir knowledge of rigid body rotation and angular momentum will be pertinent to their futurework as an aerospace engineer. … I also am enjoying dynamics more - especially what we're doing right now, rotation and angular momentum - because I know it will be applicable in my career.

They are intended to be adopted by faculty in those disciplines andincorporated into their courses as micro-lessons. The page can be used in conjunction with an in-class discussion, homework assignment or quiz; enabling faculty to infuse their curriculum withequity-related discussions and content without having to fully redesign a course module or theentire course [10]. At present, 16 disciplines are covered, with the intention to collaboratebeyond our institution to add disciplines we do not offer, such as aerospace engineering andbiomedical engineering.

On June 17th, Georgia Tech followedup with actions they felt were appropriate in response to BLM. The move was to examine thehistory of buildings on campus and be committed to plans that consider changing the names ofbuildings with a history rooted in racism.
