future graduates of the program they may hire. However, this form of recognitionminimizes other activities that serve specific functions for the department. Activities such asteaching, service, or community engagement are given markedly less space in the magazine,though other documents outline faculty and student engagement with K-12 schools, participationin engineering-based extracurricular activities, and mentoring. Notably, engagement with K-12schools is noted as an important way to spark interest in students who will eventually apply forcollege and may consider applying for this specific program (Electrical and ComputerEngineering Department External Review, pp. 53-54).Engineering Identity Not Merged with Personal Identities The

project’s workflow and progress [19]. Combining Scrum and kanbanprovides a dynamic and graphical view of a project’s current status. This makes it more apparentwhere actual and potential obstacles may lie, and it also highlights the responsibilities assignedto individual team members. Kanban boards and frequent stand-up meetings provide positivepeer pressure to ensure steady progression of the project and continued team development. In ourfirst-year courses ECE 101 Exploring Electrical Engineering and ECE 102 EngineeringComputation, we introduce students to Trello, which is a web-based project managementapplication that can be used as an online kanban board. Details of our introductory ECE 101 and102 courses may be found elsewhere [13],[14]. In ECE
