thatprovide similar benefits in the classroom, we can better ensure all of our students have theopportunity to acquire this much-needed skill. Developing intuition is not only a majoreducational advance in creating stronger problem-solvers and critical thinkers, but also narrowsthe opportunity gaps that persist in engineering. Furthermore, by creating effective interventions,we will give useful tools to engineering educators that can help promote intuition development.As we prepare students to become practicing engineers, we must also equip them with both theconcrete and abstract technical skills necessary for not only personal success but also positivesocietal impact. While catastrophic failures of engineering intuition are not often reported

This work examines amethodology to improve Ghana’s food security by providing better resources and more effectivetraining to women in Ghana’s agricultural community. Research was conducted on theintersection of Ghana’s social and environmental climate and crop storage practices andtechnologies with a specific focus on the effect of behavioral and gender roles on women inagriculture. From this information, an educational module was designed for the volunteers whowould train the farmers on how to improve their storage practices. This module embodied muchof the “train the trainer” method which teaches both post harvest strategies alongside teachingand communication strategies. The focus of the module was

Participation in REU’s is competitive and generally done through aprocess designed to pair students interested in a particular research area with faculty doing workin that area. REUs are also generally flexible in design with hosting institutions having a greatdeal of control over the organization and content of the program. These factors allow hostinguniversities to create REUs that can maximize local resources to provide unique educationalprograms to best benefit student participants.An interdisciplinary approach to summer REU programs can help address the challenge ofproviding soft-skills training within an engineering education environment (see for example [2],[3], [4]).

Manyyoung faculty with interests in design were drawn into this group through invitations by seniorfaculty. Instructors were motivated by a belief that consistency in course content from thefreshman year through the capstone/senior design course would lead the students to adopt a well-defined framework for engineering design.
