courseof study) (at least 8 units at the 300- or 400-level); 24 units of additional coursework in a liberalarts specialization; and at least 4 upper-level LSE courses: two on project-based learning, asenior project course, and a capstone. Students must also either study or intern abroad, orcomplete 2 additional upper-level courses in global studies.As of Fall 2014, 55 students have graduated with a B.A. in LSE at CPSU, and 55 additionalstudents are currently active in the program (48 as LAES majors and 7 currently on a one- ortwo-quarter individualized change of major agreement). (Two other students were denied theirdegree in Spring 2012, 3 students discontinued the program, and 1 student has completed all of

change anapproach is identified.Here we present the narrative of an educator implementing a weekly reflection activity, theInclusivity Meter (IM), that allows students in a senior capstone course to communicate howincluded they felt in their teams or in the overall class that week. Through the narrative, wehighlight the conversations that happened as the educator reflected on the work in her classroomwith the two other authors. The conversation themes highlighted include the motivation fortrying this new activity, concerns throughout the quarter about student response rates, and twocases that surfaced issues of inclusion, prompting further discussion.After recounting this narrative, we dive into a discussion on how the engineering

,and striving to form symbiotic partnerships between local industry and academiathrough: capstone projects, theses work with practical overtones, and applied researchprojects in selected domains, is extremely desirable and beneficial. Today, with theengineering profession undergoing dramatic changes on many fronts - there is realneed for faculty and students, to become involved with practical problems and toshare in providing solutions. We owe it to our students to prepare them to meet thechallenges ahead by focusing on real issues derived from tangible situations. Thesurest road to having a working college-industry relation is to come to a mutualunderstanding that both parties would gain from such a relationship.The discussion noted above may

(e.g., control of dynamicsystems, mass transfer). In this logic, students spend the majority of their time learning a longsequence of engineering “fundamentals” before they are deemed competent to engage in creativedesign problem solving in their final-year capstone projects.3 This approach is understood as“exclusionary” not in the sense of being elitist but in the more general sense of seeking to keepout that which does not belong, including those persons (or those facets of persons) not in linewith the dominant decontextualized, narrowly technical-analytic way of problem solving withinengineering. Lectures and focused problem sets remain the mainstay educational modalitieswithin university engineering education, even as wide-ranging
