Short-term plans include continuing the cohort program for subsequent years. In addition,as an extension to the program, plans are underway to embed it in the university curriculum inthe COE through the creation of a class based on the existing model. Current students in thecohort will be used as teaching assistants for the class and future teaching assistants will comefrom the class. Collectively, these efforts are expected to create meaningful and lasting changefor all students in the College of Engineering.Bibliography1 Litzler, E., Jaros, S

Failure to createan inclusive environment for minority students affects both minority and majority students, andthere is compelling evidence that diversity among students and faculty is crucially important tothe intellectual and social development of all students [7-9]. The benefits of diversity extendwell beyond the university years: research suggests that improving diversity in a workforce canhave positive effects on innovation and productivity [10]. Given the need to increase our STEMworkforce to remain competitive in a global economy, efforts must be made to attract and retaintalented individuals to STEM disciplines and professions.

civilengineering faculty have sought to develop their program appropriately along a set of commonlyaccepted educational taxonomies; that is, Bloom’s Taxonomy. These widely known taxonomiesare based on the seminal work of the 1950’s educational committee chaired by Benjamin Bloom.The committee established a set of taxonomies in three domains of learning: cognitive, affectiveand psychomotor. The cognitive domain taxonomy is widely accepted in many fields and hasbeen identified as, “arguably one of the most influential education monographs of the past halfcentury.”3 The taxonomies are a language that describes the progressive development of anindividual in each domain and are defined as follows:4 Cognitive: of, relating to, being, or involving
design.However, some educators have described an important empathic requisite or antecedent:designers must adopt a user-centric mindset. For example, Postma et al. discussed moving designstudents from an “expert” mindset, where the designer thinks they know best, to a “participatory”mindset, where the designer perceives their self and user(s) both as experts.48 Forming thismindset is important, as student designers who hold an expert mindset tend to exclude theirproject partner throughout a design process.49 Hence, educators ought to prompt students to thinkabout engineering with a user as opposed to for a user12,50 as this may catalyze the utilization ofempathy while simultaneously alleviating absolutist/positivistic biases.414.2 Service

The fifth principle is to ensure allscience and mathematics concepts, and technology tools employed are necessary forstudents’ successful completion of the STEM-design projects. With these principles inmind, the next step is to examine classroom enactments of the curriculum, focusing onthe extent to which students apply mathematics and science concepts to their designwork and the challenges and affordances for doing so (Berland, 2013).Effective Instructional Methodologies Contemporary engineering education should emphasize the design process,challenge-based learning, and other engineering habits of mind (Berland, Martin, Ko, etal., 2013).
