The author ismore convinced now than ever, that classroom reformation, including deployment of activelearning strategies, would happen only if the institution mandates it!The Pros and Cons of the Lecture FormatWhen asked why he/she lectures, one faculty responded: “It is a tradition. It was part of mytraining, and seems to dwell in me and seems like what I should be doing. I feel guilty when Iam not lecturing” (13). This candid statement suggests one of the great dilemmas faced by allwho teach at the postsecondary

ProgramThe Citadel’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering was awarded an NSF S-STEM award with the goal of graduating 23 students with diverse backgrounds with a degree inCivil Engineering. So far 30 EXCEL-SC scholarships have been awarded totaling $436,000. Inaddition, approximately $30,000 in stipends have been awarded to 20 EXCEL-SC students forenrollment in The Citadel’s College Success Institute (summer school program prior to freshmanyear to acclimate students to military college life while taking up to four academic credits).The program has many elements that contribute to student success and engagement. Forexample, The Citadel’s Academic Support Center, through funding from a Foundation Grant,provided a graduate student to serve
showing that it is indeed possible to create a positive culture that increases diversity…. The college president, Marie Klawe, is a woman computer scientist who knows how to make the environment more hospitable.”5One barrier that Harvey Mudd College works hard to demolish is the ‘impostor’ syndrome - “Not seeing one's own reflection in teachers or other students makes one feel as if s[he] doesn't belong. The need for role models to help overcome the ‘impostor’ syndrome cannot be emphasized enough.”5Ramirez concludes with, “One approach to address the leaks [in the STEM pipeline] is morementoring, and by tuning the culture so that students don't feel excluded”. This is essential to thebroader discussion of diversity

Ipersonally use humor and self-deprecation to address many issues in a non-threatening manner,and so I know I have done so with these. The reality is that it depends on the context of thesituation related to these issues. In some situations, humor (and particularly sarcasm) hasworked quite well in making others aware of how these issues are being perceived by othersaround them

stakeholders, and a concurrent lack ofinfluence offered by more abstracted stakeholders. Another interpretation of this finding suggests that ethics in these teams was directed byand linked to a human-centered orientation. Many students were not able to expand thisorientation beyond overt or clear links between their everyday work and the specific humanstakeholders involved. This finding supports Zoltowski et al.’s (2012) discussion of theimportance of critical experiences in aiding students’ experiences of HCD. Critical experiencesmay include meetings with users or other events that students found transformative to theirthinking about the stakeholders and their user’s experiences. It is difficult to distinguish theorigin of the human-centered
sources. Most students were able to identify potential moral or ethicalproblems and were also able to draw appropriate connections between personal morals, the Codeof Ethics for Engineers, and the situations described in the cases. Not surprisingly, studentsoften took strong positions surrounding the central issue(s) in the cases. The main difficultystudents had with was articulating a counter perspective when they perceived a clear ethicalproblem.The papers were evaluated using a scoring rubric in which points were awarded for addressingthe guiding questions (10 points), quality of writing (5 points), and how well they justified theirfinal position on the case (5 points).
