to Foster Global Competence via Interdisciplinary LearningAbstractABET accreditation for engineering and technology programs expects that students consider andtake professional responsibility for the impact of public health, safety, and welfare, as well asglobal, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors in engineering decisions. Toaddress these objectives, the engineering professor, Dr. Yanjun Yan, taught three types ofcourses in the past: (1) an on-campus, first-year seminar course in project-based learning forengineering and technology students; (2) a faculty-led trip offering a single engineering course in2018; and (3) multidisciplinary co-led faculty trips with a sports management professor in

groups in our faculty.[6]The program utilizes a hierarchical “badging” (recognition) system (e.g., bronze and silver) to rec-ognize degrees of dedication toward increasing diversity in engineering. These badges are intendedto acknowledge institutions that pledge themselves to ADRP’s goals of continuous improvementin engineering diversity and inclusion projects. The purpose of ADRP is to promote DEI by re-viewing DEI commitments from engineering colleges as well as their goals and progress overtime. Reviews are conducted by Deans who are active in ASEE and all institutions accepted intothe program. The program utilizes “badges” to recognize degrees of dedication toward increas-ing diversity in engineering. These badges are intended to acknowledge

Engineering Exchange for Social Justice (ExSJ) framework,which situates community-based engineering projects as exchanges rather than services andholds community partnerships as a key component to this work. The shift in language is criticalbecause it works to dismantle the imperialist, white-centered, patriarchal notions of what itmeans for engineers to engage with “the community” [38]. The authors note, “The term serviceconnotes a one-directional flow of ideas, resources, and expertise from engineers to communityrecipients” [38, p. 2], while “exchange connotes equal partnership, and a bidirectional flow ofideas, resources, ways of knowing and being, and expertise” [38, p.2]. Also, ExSJ pushes againstthe dominant mindset that engineering is a

contentclarifications. Lab periods are used for online laboratory exercises and analysis, project check-ins, and periodic reflection. The labs contain pre-lab assignments and in-lab exercises. Pre-labshelp students prepare for in-the-lab brainstorming. The in-the-lab work includes watching avideo of the lab components, brainstorming the solutions, watching the lab video conducted bythe faculty, and doing a group analysis of the results. The learning outcomes intended for theonline labs are the same as in-person labs. Occasionally, a few minutes are allocated forreflection during lab periods aimed at increasing inclusion and a sense of belonging for allstudents.The one offering of the online labs is compared to two offerings of in-person labs, one precedingand

student strengths.The realityBefore the first year of the project began, 1301 was added to the university’s core curriculum andmade available to all first-year engineering students. Students from civil engineering, computerscience, electrical engineering, engineering innovation and leadership, industrial engineering,metallurgical and materials engineering, and mechanical engineering enrolled in 1301 andparticipated in the program. Additionally, three sections (approximately 80 students) of 1301were offered during the fall semester. During the spring semester, one section of 1301 and onesection of 1402 (approximately 62 students combined) were offered. Enrollment in 1402 wasonly available to students whose declared major was in the piloting
, whicharguably have more daily use than their calculus or physics skills which might not appear to have as muchuse in daily life. Reflection.The next idea that was covered was reflection. The individuals that chose to shareabout this idea had fairly similar comments. Reflection gave people time to think about “how am Ipositively contributing to society and how can I use engineering to positively contribute to society(Skipping Orange).” An example of the most notable projects being a wind turbine project that was givenas an assignment in a reflection session and again during a class. In the first case, students were asked todetermine which areas on a plot would be the most ethical to place an anchor to not disturb thecommunity, and then the second
and long-term interest. Another custom-solution is a project in the state of Mississippi where Jing, et al.[14] analyzed a summer STEM camp program to cultivate STEM interest in students from aminority high school. The effect is promising because it increases the probability that theprogram’s students would choose a career in engineering. Finally, a biotechnology researchexperience aimed at African-American high school students in Georgia yielded success as theoutreach program improved students’ college readiness for STEM careers [15]. These findingsare significant because they satisfy the possible concern that minority-students are not asinvolved or exposed to STEM resources [16].

curriculum.Design PrinciplesThe SCoPE curriculum incorporates several design features to ensure students deepened theirunderstanding of engineering design and the problems engineers may address.Coherence. Curriculum coherence is critical for building students’ abilities to engage inthree-dimensional instruction to explain phenomena and solve problems [25]. One way to buildcoherent curriculum materials is through Project-Based Learning (PBL), which focusesinstruction on a problem to solve or question to investigate. PBL is predicated upon astudent-centered learning environment and has been shown to increase science and mathlearning, even among students from historically underrepresented groups [26]. SCoPE is a PBLunit that requires students to apply ideas

Studentsare free to choose similar topics that are not listed.As with the WWII course, the assignments follow the topics discussed during the EngineeringGraphics course. Being an engineering course, the context of these assignments is different.Engineering Graphics teaches students how to create, display, and interpret designs withinstandard engineering contexts, particularly in orthographic projections and detailed drawings.The overarching purpose and intent of Engineering Graphics are to communicate ideas anddesigns graphically. The problem-solving assignments provide students with a written means todo this. While not being related to a specific time period like WWII, the

ininternationalization of higher education by interviewing 16 faculty and researchers atuniversities. The findings suggested four characteristics of faculty and researchers that cansignificantly influence the internationalization of higher education - international academicexperience, participation in international collaboration projects or networks, international co-authorship, and experience in international publications [8]. Besides these personal factors, thereare also some external barriers that prevent faculty from engaging in internationalization work,for instance, not taking into account faculty international services or contribution for the tenureor promotion, lack of financial incentives, and many competing demands on faculty’s time andworkload [9
