ideally improved, designs. “Design failure” occurs when designs fail tomeet one or more criteria, and is an inherent part of the EDP. Design failure enables engineers tofocus their improvement efforts on those aspects of the design that fail to meet criteria. In otherwords, engineers expect to learn from design failures.1 A quote that captures the importance of failure within engineering design is from HenryPetroski: Every successful design is the anticipation and obviation of failure, every new failure – no matter how seemingly benign – presents a further means towards a fuller understanding of how to achieve a fuller success.2The idea here is that design failures are opportunities to learn how to improve designs in

Introduction, Project Goals, Aims and ObjectivesMajor challenges facing our society, such as energy, water, environment or health have neverbeen more prominent than they are today1-3. Engineers and educators, as problem solvers need toaddress these challenges in sustainable ways. Engineering practice and education are changing astechnology, social expectations and conditions are changing too.

As part of aircraft performance analysis, thestudents consider various operations in the flight envelope to characterize the behavior of anaircraft model they created to mimic an existing aircraft. All of these topics are pulled togetherto create a simulation of the vehicle in the final project, based on original code. Learning through practice was implemented in the FVP course by two methods;integration of Merlin Flight Simulator early in the course and partially flipping instructor roles inthe classroom.

Our open-ended discussion timewas guided by the following questions: 1. What was your ‘employment objective’ for your first job in the energy field? 2. What skills/abilities were most important to you in your first job in the energy field? 3. What do you look for when hiring for entry-level jobs in the energy field? 4. What characteristics are evaluated in performance reviews for entry-level engineers in the energy field? 5. What range of advanced education and training opportunities are important for graduates of an energy engineering undergraduate program? 6. What

launching thebadge to a national audience.1. Introduction and BackgroundAccording to the analysis of US Census Data over the past 50 years performed by the AmericanAssociation of University Women, there has been a steady increase in the number of femalesentering the workforce in STEM fields. In the life sciences, female representation in the USworkforce has increased 25-31% since 1960; but there has only been an 11% increase in femalesin engineering fields in the same period [1]. In 2014, only 7% of all mechanical engineers in theUS workforce were females [2]. It is evident that the representation of females in engineering islow, and that the gender gap is persistent.What are the strategies for closing this gender gap? Research has shown that

Additionally, community members areinvited to tap their own trees and contribute the sap to the syrup making efforts.Community engagement programs in higher education have grown significantly in popularity inrecent years[1].

(e.g., genderqueer, agender)1. In typical use, a female-born individual who currently identifies asfemale would label herself as a “cisgender woman,” often shortened to a “cis woman.” The useof cisgender as a descriptive label avoids the marked-unmarked dynamic in discussions ofgender by preventing the classification of a portion of the population as normal and treatingtransgender or nonconforming gender identities as “Other” or aberrant2. A fitting analogy isheterosexual and homosexual identities describing sexual orientation. Although linguisticallypositioned as direct opposites, heterosexual and homosexual identities are but two orientations ina spectrum that includes asexual, bisexual, and pansexual, among others.

IntroductionEngineering education is a broad area that includes all the resources, tools, strategies,methodologies and practices aligned to improve the quality of the education in engineering. Theresearch in this area has grown during the last decades and some of the problems identified by theresearch are: The lack of motivation of people to study careers in engineering and other areas ofScience, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (), the high dropout rates of students fromengineering programs around the world, the misalignment between the curriculum and theassessment, and the gap between the skills of graduates and the needs of the industry, among others[1].The current

The semester will be spent on asingle project, designing a drone for social good. Drones come with an ideal combination oftechnical and ethical challenges that will force students from both schools to wrestle togetherwith unfamiliar questions. One of our primary learning outcomes will be for this struggle tocultivate individual empathy across disciplinary boundaries. Put more practically, we want thestudents to understand how using alternative disciplinary frameworks changes theirunderstanding of problems.

Additionally,previous research has highlighted the need for departmental and institutional support for facultyinterested in adopting teaching practices that promote diversity and inclusion. Therefore, it isimportant that we understand the motivations and supports needed for STEM faculty to includediversity concepts in the classroom to promote inclusivity.

Asides from that, the analyses also indicate that the students most benefit from a great amount of gained knowledge and their improved ability to adapt technologies depending on the situational context and the underlying social and cultural structures. Yet, the results show that there are also aspects of the challenge-concept that need some improvement. One of these aspects is to enhance the students’ awareness of the social responsibilities of engineers.1.
