Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Peace, Conflict, and Sustainability: Addressing Global and Ethical Issues in Engineering EducationEngineers play central design and policy roles globally in infrastructure and construction projects-- in transportation, power generation, irrigation, mining and other sectors. Particularly indeveloping countries, this may thrust them into violent conflict situations arising fromgeopolitical disputes, rival claims over resources, unequal distribution of benefits and costs, orpower struggles. Conflicts among communities, peoples, and nations can arise from manycauses. Engineering programs and projects may themselves be among the problems at issue.Where efforts to bring about peaceful

NSF Advance-PLAN projectdesigned to address gender equity through policy change on a statewide level. The project isbased on the model of change that identifies effective change as a top-down policy drivenapproach through a central authority, in this case, a statewide board of regents that oversees allpublic universities. The model for top-down change is particularly suited to a small, rural statewhere a) n-values for gender related statistics at any institution may not be statisticallysignificant b) institutional relations allow for cross-state cooperation and c) size of theinstitutions allows for timely implementation and assessment of policies. In addition,intercollegiate cooperation allows for provosts of all six institutions to serve as

education is the development of aseminar series that brings nationally and internationally recognized leaders in biomedicalresearch to them. From this notion, The New Frontiers in Biomedical Research SeminarSeries was created. Given that the NSF “ADVANCE projects support institutionaltransformation in STEM,” support for the seminars was granted from Louisiana Tech’sprogram and quickly garnered support from the University and community, increasing localexposure to biomedical research and increasing exposure of the University across thecountry.Specifically, the goals of the New Frontiers in Biomedical Research Seminar Series and thevision shared by those involved include: ● Introducing the Louisiana Tech University to visiting faculty through
