microcredential fits within the department's curriculum and integrates with other courses and programs offered by the department. Additionally, the departmental review allows faculty members to collaborate, allowing them to share their expertise and contribute to the development of a high-quality microcredential.(b). College Review: College review is critical to ensure that the college can commit to the necessary resources and requirements needed for the microcredential course. This includes allocating funding for course development, instructor compensation, and ongoing support for the course. The review also provides an opportunity for collaboration among departments and cross-disciplinary input, allowing for a more well
teaching, and a similar outcome was shown in the design report evaluationtest which evaluates critical thinking. The design report evaluation test reported positive resultsfor MEA online courses [24].Study 2Another study by Chatterjee et al. (2016) [21] investigates the design of an asynchronous onlineengineering classroom, focusing specifically on cognitive radio networks. A prominent feature ofthe course design is the emphasis on various assessment methods, including asynchronous onlinediscussions, virtual labs, open-ended module assignments, and a final project. Central to thisapproach is the integration of feedback mechanisms within these assessment methods [21]. Theeducational strategies in this study stray away from the traditional
researched by Becker (2010).4A summary of his surveys indicates that the greatest disparity is found in four categories:1) hands-on know how; 2) methods, systems know how; 3) ability to work in teams; and4) communication skills. The ETIC was created to address these gaps while responding tothe regional economy’s requirements for well-qualified workers. By having direct accessto industry, students benefit from real-life experiential activities while gaining thefoundational skills necessary to their integration into the workforce.Progress to-dateSince the launch of the Entrepreneurship and Technology Innovation Center (ETIC) inMarch 2015, the School has put into action a strategic plan to nurture an entrepreneurialecosystem at the new facility.

seek to create an infrastructure that would eliminate disabling barriers,and work with stakeholders historically impacted but often ignored. Integrating a social justicemindset in engineering would normalize universal design while reducing the social acceptabilityfor “unforeseen” consequences.” This group subsequently convened bi-weekly with the aim ofcollaboratively developing a series of comprehensive lessons that could be shared with the largerCIT-E community of practice and would follow the established CIT-E lesson template.Motivated by the literature mentioned previously, the group decided to focus on the use of casestudies of past and current infrastructure projects that resulted in social inequities as a vehicle.Case studies have been

This research focused on increasing retention rates andimproving academic and career success in the STEM disciplines at an open-enrollment HBCUthrough a hands-on and mentorship-focused research program. We have utilized the “ScientificVillage” model, where students interacted as peers assisting, encouraging, holding each otheraccountable, and interacted with faculty mentors. Incorporating hands-on research furtherstimulated and engaged students to enhance interest in STEM curriculum and careers. This was avoluntary, three-year, mixed-method, hands-on research program that tracked a cohort of
expand the number of students who can benefit from conducting research as the designprojects are embedded directly into the curriculum and are taken by all students in the program.Undergraduate research has been shown to help students take ownership of their own learningand helps them to see the real-world relevance of research as they learn problem-solving skills[1 – 3]. Inquiry-based projects are beneficial because they require a significant investment ofstudent time and effort over an extended period with frequent constructive feedback from facultyand regular opportunities for reflection [4, 5].

When such obstacles aredetected, the vehicle’s programming instructs it to cease movement, back-up as necessary, andoverride and disregard the user’s instruction that would point it toward harm’s way. Where adirected path is deemed hospitable, the vehicle follows the preprogramed instructionunconditionally. The vehicle utilizes a Parallax Boe-Bot kit[1] chassis while the information processing andmovement program is run through an Arduino Mega board; these separate components are joinedvia a fiberglass platform which also

Different perspectives and teaching approachesfor ESI were evident among these groups, and this range of experiences could ultimatelyenhance students’ ethical reasoning abilities, impact their attitudes, and effect their behaviors.It appears that one could not expect to achieve adequate education on ESI within a single course.A single course simply cannot cover the breadth of important microethics and macroethics topicsand reach reasonable levels of cognitive and affective depth. Integrating ESI across a range ofcourses in a deliberate manner can reinforce and build on ideas. Including ESI across thecurriculum has been advocated as an effective way to foster ethical development in an alreadydense technical curriculum [23, 24]. One

Although the numbers in Tables 1 and 2provide a baseline description of the composition of the department at this point in time, this isreally a snapshot of a dynamic and evolving population that would likely be better capturedthrough ecosystem metrics [11]. Additionally, we have submitted an NSF proposal that willsupport addressing DEI-related concepts (among other things) throughout a four-course labsequence in the core undergraduate curriculum. Through this and many complimentary efforts,we plan to put in place a framework through which students, faculty, and staff can co-create aclimate that fosters access and inclusion and leads to
dialogue, an educator engineer, in addition to being empathic, critical, and capable of dialoguing, must also be open to learn throughout his/her life. S/he must be willing to learn from the endless praxis’ exercise and even to be taught by the supposedly naive grassroots group s/he is serving: learning from the group’s knowledge, strategies of political action, worldviews and values, etc.Since a grassroots engineer is supposed to be able to develop popular education alongside – or asan integrant part of – the technical support they provide to grassroots groups, they must be aneducator engineer. Defined like that, it can be said that “grassroots engineer” and “educatorengineer” are synonyms.It is
