When adopted, the content can be used as is by faculty,or edited to meet their specific learning outcomes and course topics. Content was selected toprovoke discussion and introduce students to issues and resources. For example, the ElectricalEngineering page contains readings on gendered interests in computer engineering [11], andengineering identity in electrical engineering [12

These faculty members are contacted directly and asked to consider their current students for the REU program and to encourage them to apply.Diversity of participants:As a result of our recruitment efforts and value based on attracting applicants from historicallyunderrepresented groups for the purpose of increasing diversity in STEM, our participantsrepresent a diverse and inclusive community. Having a diverse group of participants each yearenhances the learning experience for all student participants, helps to build an inclusive researchenvironment for our laboratories, and provides an opportunity for mentors to work with anincreasingly

systematic application of inclusive teaching standards(called I-Standards) in our curriculum. The I- Standards were inspired by the approach andformat of Quality Matters, the certification system for online courses, which is adopted at theuniversity for all online classes and is supported by the university teaching center [6]. Theywere developed by a team of faculty by integrating principles of Universal Design forLearning [7], evidenced-based inclusive teaching practices and a comprehensive suite ofstudent support structures anchored by the strength-based approach. The I-standards are usedas a guide to organize the activities of the I-team, a team of instructors who attend a series ofworkshops and work together to redesign their courses.Research

Past studies have shown that whileengineering instructors value creativity, they believe it to be lacking in their students, while atthe same time current engineering students do not think that creativity is valued by theirprofessors1. Similarly, while there is a greater industry emphasis on recruiting creative engineersand a greater interest in creativity from new engineering students, related literature questionswhether or not postsecondary institutions are teaching creative thinking to their engineeringstudents1.

While job searching and a number of career development resources are offered throughcampus-wide internship/career center offices, many engineering students, for various reasons, donot utilize these resources. Hence, a number of engineering colleges provide this type ofinformation through stand-alone workshops [1], modules [2-3], and incorporation within existingcourses [4-6]. Some engineering departments also teach stand-alone courses targeted at studentscloser to graduation [7-8].

recent years, Universal Design Principles, which were initially focused on physical spaces, have been extended to learning environments. The branch relating to learning environments specifically is called Universal Design for Learning, or UDL. A working definition for UDL, adapted from Riviou by Miller and Lang, is a framework that “involves providing many curriculum delivery formats and teaching strategies in order to maximize the learning and engagement of students with a variety of learning styles and needs, while benefiting everyone in the process[new citation, Riviou]][14,15].” Miller and Lang address how UDL can be incorporated into science laboratories, specifically to address students who experience stress in the lab environment, and

During the practice, students are organized intorelevant units to visit workshops, laboratories and other sites. They listen to special lectures,and participate in alumni exchange meetings as well. For some non-confidential industries,short-term hands-on links may be arranged for the students, in which factory workers directlyteach students on actual operation and production processes.Colleges and universities
