Museum’s CollectionWithin STEM education, a movement called STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art,and Mathematics) is gathering momentum. Yet, while articles abound with ideas forincorporating STEAM concepts into K-12 classrooms, the literature on STEAM education at theuniversity level is scant. Complicating matters is the fact that the “A” in STEAM does notalways stand for “Art”; for example, in one recent ASEE paper that contains the words “STEAMcurricula” in its title, the “A” stands for “Agriculture” [1].However, reflections on STEAM at the university level can be found in a few papers presented atthe 2013 ASEE convention. One, “Faculty reflections on a STEAM-inspired interdisciplinarystudio course,” offers insights on the opportunities
results of innovative learning strategies and art-relatedpartnerships and developments across campus. A Qualtrics survey of faculty and academic staffconducted in 2021 rounds out the snapshot of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts,and Mathematics) at our institution.The paper concludes with potential future directions for implementing changes in curriculum andbringing art more fully into our campus life. A focus on art as something communallyexperienced in public places and legitimately connected to engineering coursework serves tohighlight its importance as an intrinsic, exciting part of engineering design. Integration of art inengineering education fosters critical and creative thinking, allowing students to conceivealternative

principles of Systems Engineering have been acknowledged enablers for design,development and validation of advanced technology products for over half a century1. In today'smarketplace, it is essentially impossible to cost-effectively design, deliver and support atechnology-based product without application of some principles of SE. In fact many, if notmost, development program failures and embarrassments trace to improper understanding orapplication of SE, particularly in early program phases as addressed in Figure 4. Yet, weobserve (admittedly anecdotally) that most traditional discipline engineers including aerospacegraduate with little understanding of even the most basic SE concepts much less theirapplication. We believe this shortfall results

it for the cur-rent iteration. Today, searches are often performed by a detailed procedure involving keywordattributes. Therefore, knowledge age professors must continually work toward the mastery ofthis information searching iteration process by suggesting illustrative key words for any givenproblem.An example is using multiple class texts by putting such books on library reserve. However, theinformation technology procedure is to utilize multiple appropriate Internet web pages. Often,this results in not only solving advanced engineering problems but also multiple processing be-cause the ongoing critical analysis suggests that the current solution is too narrow or incomplete.Today, such final analyses will often be performed with the aid of

Insights on organizational structure, projectacquisition, student/client assessment, and lessons learned are presented.Who is EFAC?Engineering for American Communities (EFAC) is a recently formed Affiliated StudentOrganization housed within the College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS) at theUniversity of Colorado Boulder (UCB), whose mission is to perform innovative, low-costengineering design work for people in need in local communities. Today‟s world is a globalmarket and a place of rapid technological change3. The motivation behind EFAC is to provideengineering students with
technology platform ardupilot, and 2) design and build aunique payload for the drone. The course assignments involve designing and building the device(a clear engineering challenge) with the more conceptual work of planning for its integration intopro-social organizational processes (a clear peace and justice challenge). To facilitate thisexploration, we have designed the course to minimize lectures and instead use class time forconversations and collaboration. This will be done through a combination of group discussions,team exercises, and collaborative workshops.This paper, submitted as a work-in-progress, presents the current state of our coursedevelopment. We discuss our learning outcomes, describe our pedagogical approaches, andidentify areas
