Tacoma, WA USA Abstract – In today’s world, “place” is an ever increasingelement of almost every known culture and geographic region.Research also shows that place-based education (PBE) can fostera student’s connection to place and help them better understandthe need to take care of the world. We therefore believe that itshould be a critically important factor in the building andestablishment of any new engineering program.

Overall, there were more comments andconcerns from participants related to structural changes than to relational or to transformativechanges.It was also the case that some of participants’ observations suggest some porousness in theborders of the Kania et al. model. For example, participants viewed guidance from theirinstitution’s office of general counsel as a resource, but in doing so, that office becomes a strongerseat of power, therefore

and post-meeting chit chat.”In addition to building trust, these check-ins supported individuals’ sense of belonging within theteam. For example, one team member stated I enjoy [talking with team members]...I love to hear about [this colleague] and their kid going to college and [this colleague] getting married. I truly enjoy that, and so, yes, there is value. And [the check-ins] have certainly helped, to some extent, my belonging.Edmonson [4]’s work suggests that forming strong, healthy interpersonal relationships isfoundational for building trust among work teams.

Underrepresented Minorities in Aerospace EngineeringAbstractTraditionally, aerospace engineering disciplines are substantially underrepresented by AfricanAmerican, Hispanic, and female students. For example, Black and Hispanic American studentscollectively earn only 10.6%, 8.4%, and 6.4% of the BS, MS, and Ph.D.’s in aerospaceengineering, respectively. They are among the lowest percentages of all major engineeringdisciplines, leading to underutilization of the talent pool in the aerospace industry. 1 To tackle thisconcern, a multi-institution coalition sponsored by NASA is established to engageunderrepresented minorities in coordinated educational and professional development activities,including senior design projects, undergraduate research experiences

A visual assessment of the grocery stores using the NutritionEnvironment Measures Survey in Stores (NEMS-S) will rate the nutrition environments of thecommunities. Using Qualtrics, the student proposed to distribute a short survey with thefollowing questions to the university campus: 1) What are broccoli microgreens? 2) How oftendo you consume them? 3) Are you aware of their health benefits? 4) Are they accessible at yourlocal grocery store? and 5) What is your zip code?
