Upon completion of the EDP, students enter 24 months ofco-op placement/on-line learning, returning to the institution after 12 months and 24 months forone-week examination periods (See Figure 2.).Figure 2. Co-op Program ModelThe motivations to start the new program come from a desire to move towards work-basedlearning, empowering student engineers to gain more practical experience while funding a largerpercentage of their own education than through a traditional engineering education.

postdoctoral scholars of color describe their mentoring needs, particularly as theyrelate to their desire to enter the professoriate?Literature ReviewIn recent decades, numerous efforts to diversify the science, technology, engineering, and math(STEM) professoriate have been employed (Yadav et al., 2020). Despite these efforts, thedemographic makeup remains relatively unchanged (Allen-Ramdial & Campbell, 2014;Castañeda et al., 2015; Griffin et al., 2020; NSF, 2019; Zambrana et al., 2015). Presently, only6% of engineering professors identify as racial/ethnic minorities (Roy, 2019). Postdoctoralscholars are the greatest source of future faculty and subsequently a significant factor in thediversification of the STEM workforce and professoriate

We are administering pre- andpost-surveys to understand students’ interest in chemical engineering as well as animation use.This paper is a work in progress.IntroductionInteractive textbooks can improve student learning through active learning or “learning bydoing” [1-4]. The influence and familiarity of electronic devices among the “digital native”student population makes interactive learning an appealing platform for higher educationstudents [5]. One challenge is configuring educational material, such as textbooks, learningexercises, and homework into a format that applies technological tools in a familiar and engagingway that benefits learning [5].Animation advancements with digital technology bring

Could aspects of engineeringeducation make one more comfortable within systems of domination? Or, might the rigidconformist nature of engineering education make it more attractive to those with suchtendencies?Technological development has historically accelerated under authoritarian regimes, including thedesign and implementation of some of the most violent technologies in history.

It is ironic that the young peoplewho initially strongly supported the revolution were the ones who forceda halt to the activities.

committee first met on July 31,2002 and will meet again in 2003. Once the draft standards have been completed they will begiven to SBEC for review and approval. Certification tests will then be developed withimplementation planned for fall 2005.Committee membership consisted of K-12 educators, engineering educators, and practicingengineers. The biggest hurdle faced by the committee was reaching a common understanding ofwhat engineering is and is not. The committee agreed that engineering is not the same asmathematics or science, not applied mathematics and science, and not technology. A consensuswas reached to use the engineering method, i.e., synthesis/design, as the basis of the standards.ABET EC2000 accreditation criteria also influence the
