We are exploring the idea of professors using inclusive teaching methods to helpstudents succeed in ECE classes. We are defining inclusive teaching methods as initiatinginteractions with students in class or office hours intended to improve their capacity, interest, orbelongingness in engineering (as defined on the tip sheet). In other words, inclusive teachinginvolves bringing typical mentoring strategies into the classroom on a smaller scale. The tipsheet gives many examples of these strategies. • So that we can get your understanding of the definition, what are some examples that come to mind when you think of inclusive

Exclusionary practices, patterns, behaviors, and norms are beingingrained within the culture of engineering that, while unintentional, may lead to futuretechnological solutions that do more harm than good. By no means is it being suggested thatwhat is being witnessed is deliberate. Nonetheless, these factors, individually or collectively,cannot be given a “pass”; with their consequences – the disenfranchisement of segments ofhumanity- simply dismissed as collateral damage.

constraints are very important for first-year engineering students and are also emphasizedin the course. Students are taught that the design process requires an open mind, and awillingness to fail. Efficient time use is important, since usually the first design solutions, orprototypes, are not the best design options and improvements must be made. As part of this first-year engineering course, students create Gantt Charts and a project management plan. Thisassists student in staying on track in meeting the project and course goals, and in using the coursetime efficiently. Their time in lab may be the only time that the whole team can meet togetherand have access to the lab equipment. It is also important that the team works effectivelytogether. An

learnimportant fundamental subjects in a well structured yet open minded and supportiveenvironment.Many high schools offer courses in engineering. Due to a lack of pre-requisite classes, thesecourses are usually introductory in nature and do not offer opportunities for students to studyvector and calculus based engineering mechanics1. The course coverage in GESN is the same asthat offered in a freshman or sophomore university level statics class, making it unique for a highschool curriculum. Exposing high school students to engineering before they apply to a collegeor university is beneficial since the rigorous course load of a university program makes itdifficult to complete an intended major without adding an extra year (or more) to the requiredtime.2

However, as implied by the a)-k) general ABET program outcomes, and the l)-n)outcomes specific to Mechanical Engineering programs, a solid preparation in Physics isrequired in order for students to be successful in the further study of engineering disciplines, andultimately become accomplished engineers. Thus a good direct assessment of studentachievement in physics is as important as the direct assessment in the core engineeringdisciplines. With this in mind we decided to use recent methodologies applied for directassessment of engineering courses to develop a direct assessment for calculus-based physicstaught to undergraduate mechanical engineering students.The paper describes our

The engineeringdesign textbooks (and presumably engineering design classes) do a good job presentinganalytical schemes for the systematic evaluation of design and linear design processes --both of which are necessary and appropriate for much of engineering design -- but theyreally have little to say about the creative, parallel processing necessary for design.

Thesetopics are critical to student success. Our experience has shown that first-semester engineering freshmen exposedto these topics in traditional orientation style were, for the most part, not putting these skills to practice. With thisin mind, a new strategy was developed for the 1995 SEEE summer engineering orientation program. The new strategy integrated cooperative learning into
