transformation is toattract and retain traditionally underrepresented groups to engineering, particularly women, and in effect,increase departmental diversity.To achieve the goal of more women engineers, the CECM department will take advantage of, and betteralign itself with the existing experiential learning nature of its sister programs on campus andbeyond. This will include common coursework at the freshman level in the first year experience (FYE)courses, at the sophomore level in the surveying courses, at the junior level in the construction economicsand finance courses, and at the senior level in the capstone senior project course. Further, the proposedexperiential, community service learning activities with Habitat for Humanity of Bulloch County

universal design in engineering curriculaAs our participants noted, there are few examples of accessibility and disability being included inthe engineering curricula. What are the best places to start introducing disability or UD into analready packed engineering curriculum? Capstone or cornerstone engineering design classes area natural fit for incorporating UD concepts into the engineering curriculum, challenging studentsto design for individuals of all abilities and backgrounds. Many engineering programs offerspecialty capstone design courses focused on assistive technology that provide a natural point forintroducing UD principles. For example: ● Recent senior design projects from the Colorado School of Mines under the mentorship of

was the only girl in class among guys but over theyears I’ve worked past this.” Another student noted, “Professors speeding along courseworkbecause majority of the students which [sic] are dominantly males who already work in this field,already know this. Not giving enough time or breaking it down clear enough for you to actuallylearn what is being taught. It’s just being shown.” Yet another female student pointed to “Timemanagement since I am a housewife” as a major challenge. 90 80 70 60 50 Male 40 Female 30 20 10 0 Individual in- Team projects capstone project other class practiceFigure 3

experiences.Dr. Marie C Paretti, Virginia Tech Marie C. Paretti is an Associate Professor of Engineering Education at Virginia Tech, where she co- directs the Virginia Tech Engineering Communications Center (VTECC). Her research focuses on com- munication in engineering design, interdisciplinary communication and collaboration, design education, and gender in engineering. She was awarded a CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation to study expert teaching in capstone design courses, and is co-PI on numerous NSF grants exploring com- munication, design, and identity in engineering. Drawing on theories of situated learning and identity development, her work includes studies on the teaching and learning of communication

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

(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
