Being more diverse than traditional engineering programs, Engineering Technology(ET) programs offer a significant vehicle for advancing equity and inclusion in STEM educationand workforce. For example, the share of black students in 4-year ET programs is almost threetimes that of black students earning 4-year degrees in engineering (10.7 percent versus 3.8percent) [1]. Also, based on 2020-30 employment projections by US Bureau of Labor Statistics[2], there is a great demand for ET graduates (e.g. mechanical engineering

For example, teams developappropriate design criteria, brainstorm and select a design solution, and build physical prototypesduring class.The first objective of this project is to create educational materials to flip the first-yearmultidisciplinary engineering design classroom.

When studentsfind the course material relevant to their own interests, they are likely to become engaged and toachieve deep learning.1 By continually applying the course topics towards personal interests, thestudents are primed to tackle a final project where they are encouraged and guided whileapplying their skills to a project of personal interest.To personalize the course material, we pose a general question to the students, evaluate theiranswers, and then hopefully convert one or more answers into an example

In engineering education, divergent exploration isoften applied within idea generation; however, many other stages in engineering projects maybenefit from divergent exploration, such as defining problems, identifying stakeholders, selectingproblem solving approaches, and understanding potential implications of engineering decisions.Professional engineers often struggle to identify and manage diverse perspectives, and little isknown about the practice of divergent exploration in engineering projects.
