toolbox of many relevant toolsfor working on international development projects. These include low-cost, open-sourcemicrocontrollers (such as the Arduino) and computers (e.g. Raspberry Pi), low-cost communicationsdevices (e.g. Ubiquiti equipment), low-cost solar panels and LED lights, etc. There is an opportunity toengage ECE students in humanitarian engineering-oriented capstone projects that are focused onaddressing the UN Sustainable Development goals in underserved communities around the world.These types of projects are particularly engaging with today’s students who are interested in making adifference in the world and may struggle to see such an impact in traditional electrical engineeringcurricula. The topic of humanitarian engineering may

selected core subjects is provided in Figure 1. Here the ‘clinic’nomenclature invokes the notion of a medical school clinical rotation, in which future doctorspractice applying concepts learned in class through hands-on interactions with patients. Theinclusion of CDC within the specialization has a similar aim, with the intention of givingstudents the opportunity to integrate and apply prerequisite knowledge, strengthen their designskills, and develop professional competencies required for project work. In this way, the subjectcan be viewed as a ‘mini-capstone’ for the specialization, although there is a separate year-longcapstone requirement all students in the degree must complete. The clinic subject is seen as acrucial opportunity to give

students in hands-on projects and problem-solvingactivities [1], [10]. These are not simply introductory surveys; they involve active design andbuilding experiences. This early and consistent exposure to design and prototyping continuesthroughout the program. Laboratory courses, integrated with lectures, reinforce theoreticalconcepts in subsequent years. The curriculum culminates in team-based senior capstone projects.These capstone projects frequently address authentic engineering challenges, often in collaborationwith industry partners, providing students with invaluable real-world experience. This approach,embedding industry partnerships, internships, and co-op experiences throughout the studentjourney, ensures graduates possess both technical

Engineering and Computer Science, theOffice of Undergraduate Studies at Sacramento State, and by NSF grant (DUE # 2235774).IntroductionEngineering curricula characteristically have long and highly regimented chains of pre-requisitecourses called ‘critical paths’, that span the entire curriculum from students’ freshmen year tosenior-year capstone projects. Critical-path courses can create significant obstacles to graduationas a single DFW (grade of D, F, or withdrawal) grade in any course can impede a student'sability to graduate on time. Reducing course fail rates along the critical path significantly reducesthe students’ time to degree. Furthermore, research shows that students exposed to engineeringdesign [1] and research experiences [2] have a

and instructors withdiverse teaching backgrounds. The program curriculum combined conceptual and technicalinstruction in AI, emphasizing experiential learning through project-based activities andreal-world applications. Spanning 4.5 weeks, the program utilized a structured schedule oflectures, workshops, and team-based projects, culminating in a capstone presentation.Research DesignThis study is an iteration of formative assessment in a more extensive design-based research anddevelopment project. In this iteration, we explore instructors' experiences within this uniqueeducational context during the first year of implementation. This design suits the researchquestions, allowing in-depth exploration of complex, real-world phenomena in a

personal andprofessional settings. Another example is the ‘Professional Continual Learning’ module in ECEGR 3710, a spring quarter course forstudents in their junior year. It is at this point that many students begin thinking about post-graduation pathways and exploringopportunities to strengthen their career preparedness. Finally, ECEGR 4870, the first course in a three-quarter senior design (capstone)sequence and a key touchpoint before students enter the workforce, seemed well-suited for the ‘Social Responsibility’ and ‘Bias andMicroaggression’ modules.Table 1: Pilot Implementation Plan for AY 2024-25. An overview of the modules highlighted is included in this paper.Course Course Title Quarter Program Curricular Outcome

onlyunderstand how systems work but also articulate or apply principles in new contexts. The QKDlab, for instance, prompted students to abstract concepts about photon polarization,measurement, and error detection into a functional mental model of quantum-securedcommunication. Similarly, the poster project required students to generalize learning acrossmodules into novel applications, promoting higher-order thinking and deeper conceptualmastery. Finally, students engaged in Active Experimentation through the design andimplementation of their own research projects, an essential capstone that allowed them to testand apply their ideas independently. For many participants, this was their first opportunity toengage in self-directed research using advanced lab

collected course descriptions, we removed those that refer to special courses, e.g.,“Research Experience for Undergrads”, “Graduate Research”, “Project Research”, “Capstone”,“Cooperative Education in Computing”, “Special Topics”, “Independent Study”, “VerticallyIntegrated Projects”. If a course has multiple sections, we aggregate them into one, and considerthem as a single offering, since the course description will be the same for all sections. We alsoremoved courses that had less than five students enrolled, as in that case, the percentage of maleversus female would be less meaningful and could have an unintended effect when aggregatingthem with other courses with higher enrollment numbers. In the departments of BME, CEE, CIS,ECE, we have 31, 62
