The coursegoal(s) are stated as follows. Students will: 1. Identify the key knowledge, skills andabilities (KSAs) required for engineering success in the 21st century, 2. Explore relevantprofessional and technical topics, 3. Evaluate their own individual strengths andweaknesses relative to qualities demanded of future engineers, and 4. Identify areas forpersonal growth and opportunities for further

quality of partnerships weenter into. Our goal is to develop more sustained encounters. We also plan to focus on measuringthe effectiveness of the partnerships we enter into by collecting feedback from the educators andstudents who we work with and by assessing how eductors’ attitudes, beliefs, and knowledgechange in response to partnership. Our goal is to improve our methods for supporting educatorsand to share our results with a wider audience. Finally, we plan to create opportunities forundergraduate engineering students to join the project. Our goal is to form a dedicated group ofstudent workers and volunteers to design maker activities and operate the MakerTruck.References1. K. Peppler, and S.

have taken ownership and moved past that support, others have remained dependent, which reduces the number of new faculty with whom the team can work and raises the question about what will happen when the project wraps up. 4. The faculty member will share what they are doing with others and conduct informal public outreach as they share what they have learned.As noted above, a supportive department culture might be a key motivator for engineering orcomputer science faculty to adopt diversity and inclusion related changes in their course(s).Cultural change is a long-term process and may run on a timeline that is not compatible with afixed length grant-funded project.
