People’s identity shapes the experiences theyembrace, and reciprocally, those experiences shape their identities [9] - [11]. People behaveconsistently with their identities [12], [13], choosing behaviors with meanings that match theirself-conceptions [14], [15]. When people identify with an esteemed group, they feel better aboutthemselves and, in turn, feel better about the group [16], [17]. If people strongly identify with agroup, they are steadfast, defending the group, staying in the group, and supporting the group[18

The intent was to spark the students’curiosity about our modern sources of energy, to encourage them to make connections betweentheory and a realistic application, and for them to create value for a meaningful customer byrequiring them to argue in favor of one energy plan, considering stakeholders, costs, andenvironmental effects.

instruction–making activelearning even more important in remote instruction.Not every learning objective is best tackled with a full class period of active learning. Using avariety of instructional methods will help the students to succeed in different learning modes [13]and increase their learning flexibility [14] [15] which will benefit them in the classroom and intheir careers. Without denying all the benefits of active learning, students also need to becomecapable listeners, note takers, and questioners if they want to successfully participate in projectproposals, planning sessions, and public meetings as engineers.Whether using passive or active instructional methods, motivation matters.

Even though the design of instrumentation and technologies in service ofclinicians and patients clearly aligns with the skills of engineers, spontaneous collaborationbetween these two fields does not often occur. Therefore, there is an opportunity to increasecollaboration between SLPs and engineers to identify unmet needs in clinical practice andincrease research collaborations between these groups. This opportunity motivated the design ofour REU.

Educators are the frontlines and critical resources for higher education institutions (HEI)towards delivering quality education to their nations. Today’s educators are needed to be moreresponsible in better preparing graduates for the 21st century, which requires them to solveproblems using technology and apply higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) to solve complexproblems. Therefore, educator readiness is a significant factor in meeting 21st-centurychallenges. Planning talents

During thesummer of 2020, however, the experiences of the “double” pandemic [24] accentuated theurgency of implementing the plan. As a result, the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education(ADUE) formed a committee to plan, socialize, iterate, and execute on a race and ethnicityprogram for CoE undergraduate students. The committee members included students, faculty,staff and administrative leaders from the CoE with a variety of identities (white, black, brown,male, and female) and expertise (engineering, social justice, pedagogy, and instructional design).Some of the
