infrastructure was built before legislation like the ADA,making it expensive to update and implement accessible infrastructures like elevators andescalators. Hefty price tags have halted recent efforts to revolutionize American infrastructure. In Boston, thecost to make public transit alone more accessible would be 477 million dollars [1]. Althoughcostly, this investment is necessary; 26% of Americans have a disability, 14% of which aredisabilities that hamper mobility, making it hard to walk up and down stairs [2]. One of the maincontributors to the price tag of these projects is the increased draw from the power grid to powerelevators and escalators. The cost of installing and powering an elevator year-round ranges from$30,000 to $55,000; our team

Fortunately,participants have also helped to inform the course developers’ gaps in knowledge through theirown exploration. For example, several participants investigated the accessibility options forLaTeX.

In research, MeyerHardness, defined as Load in Kgf divided by the projected area of indentation in mm2, is often used.Meyer hardness correlates extremely well with HRC. From the perimeter and the cone angle of thediamond indenter, the depth of the indentation is calculated.For the assignment, students are provided with images of six HRBw indents on three different coldrolled Brass test blocks.

Lattuca et. al.’s2017 engineering education study found that a curricular emphasis on interdisciplinary topicsand skills (specifically including participating in non-engineering co-curricular activities andhumanitarian engineering projects), “significantly and positively relate to engineering students’reports of interdisciplinary skills” [4]. In this paper, we suggest an interdisciplinary computerprogramming exercise based on Ada Lovelace’s 1843 program for Charles Babbage’s AnalyticalEngine, thus promoting knowledge transfer between the humanities (history) and computerscience.

Having exceptional professional skills is what leads to success in roles withgreater responsibilities in management [6]. This emphasis on professional skills could allude to ashift in expertise from technical to professional skills when switching to a managerial role inlater career stages. The transition away from technical expertise may be difficult for engineers tonavigate, as professional skills align less with the technical skills associated with early career.We present our examination of practicing engineers’ definition of their expertise by genderidentity and
