successfulproject has been a challenge for these partnerships. Asset Driven Equitable Partnerships – ADEP in Practice (WIP)From Relationships to Partnerships to Equitable Partnerships – Virginia State University (aCore IEC HBCU) and Virginia Tech (an Affiliate IEC PWI) have collaborated with varyinglevels of success for several decades. A Sloan planning grant facilitated the development of anequitable partnership. Their holistic approach: Use an equitable partnership as the vehicle forcreating the equitable pathway to graduate education with a focus in Quantum InformationScience and Engineering (QISE). Historically, PWIs have not prioritized developing equitable,long-term partnerships with HBCUs. PWIs need to learn from HBCUs how to best

students’ global competencies within the IRiKA program? 3. How do undergraduate and graduate engineering students differ in global competency development in the context of international research experience? The first research question addresses the core of the study's motivation. It seeks to explore thedirect impact of IRiKA. This inquiry is supported by literature highlighting the importance ofinternational experiences in enhancing cross-cultural skills and global awareness in engineeringeducation [6], [25]. This question aims to empirically examine how participation in a structuredinternational program like IRiKA contributes to developing global competencies, which areincreasingly recognized as crucial for engineers in a globalized

for teaching highly technical concepts. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Considerations for Software-defined Radio Use within a Project-based Learning SubjectAbstractIn this paper we reflect on the use of software-defined radio (SDR) within a project-basedlearning (PBL) subject at the master’s level that incorporates a semester-long wirelesscommunication design project. PBL as a pedagogy is an important tool for addressing disparitiesexisting between the capabilities with which engineering students graduate and those demandedby employers. Ideally, it enables ‘dual impact’ activities in which both technical and professionalskills can be developed concurrently

The active-learning strategies include Project-Based Learning (PBL) andCourse-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CURE) that incorporate culturallyresponsive projects. The equity principles incorporated include best practices from theAssociation of College and University Educators (ACUE) and the Equity Toolkit [6].The rationale for choosing the six courses is that by focusing the redesign efforts on a sequenceof critical-path courses, the concerted redesign will positively impact students’ graduation ratesby reducing DFW rates and GPA gaps. Furthermore, these courses are typically mandatory inany Computer and Electrical Engineering Department. Their redesign can

A wide variety ofactivities, key cornerstones for reaching capacity, have been executed and are in place (see Table1). The initial months of the first year were spent on planning and preparation. Implementation ofactivities began as early as the third month of the first year and continue. In addition, tuitionsupport, student ambassadors, continuous improvement research and graduation of scholars whohave been supported by the program, have occurred. A timeline for Year 1 and Year 2 activitiesand milestones is laid out in the table below. Table 1: Overview and Evaluation of Timeline and Related Activities 2to4
