This program, too, had an organized plan to train Afghan faculty tocarry the academic operation of that institute in the future. The curriculum of Polytechnicwas devoted to the Civil Engineering, Mining, and Geology fields. The curriculum in eacharea was much more specialized at the undergraduate level than the typical undergraduateprogram in the US institutions of higher learning. The Polytechnic curriculum was a five-year BS program with six months practical. Most of the teaching materials were translatedinto the local languages, Pashto and Dari. In some cases, students in the last few semesterscould use Russian textbooks in their courses.Both male
may also face administrative resistance. It is likely that suchchallenges will increase for cases in which teaching teams require expertise from more than onetraditionally defined discipline and must cross departmental or college lines.ConclusionsIn conclusion, this paper described ENGR 314: Materials & Mechanics and the associatedintegrative semester long team project that combines traditional content of both materials scienceand mechanics of materials. In addition to the project, the course includes experiential learning inthe form of hands-on laboratories for material characterization and mechanical analysis.

simulations as a teaching aid is very useful, perhaps even more so in a distancelearning environment. Southern Polytechnic State University’s (SPSU) Electrical and ComputerEngineering Technology (ECET) program is engaged in converting its curriculum to a distanceor hybrid distance format. Since all but two of the ECET courses have a laboratory component,this creates a significant challenge in providing a similar laboratory experience for the off-campus students. An obvious choice is to require distance students to visit the campusperiodically to perform hands-on lab exercises. This can be difficult for some students to do andwill limit enrollment to students who can.The laboratory for the department’s Telecommunications Engineering Technology (TCET
missions are much more focused on providing educational opportunities tolocal students who wish to pursue an education beyond high school. With a few exceptions,community college faculty seek external funding to develop new academic programs, improvecurricula and teaching, or implement student-centered professional development programs, oftenin partnerships with four-year institutions. Community college faculty's two main responsibilitiesare teaching and advising students. In this context, mentoring takes shape (Hensel, 2021). Forinstance, mentoring may occur in the classroom, the laboratory, and the office. In theirclassrooms, faculty uncover the hidden curriculum, introduce academic language, and promotethe notion of students becoming scholars

The ten-week course provides students an opportunity to use moderncomputer tools to aid in the simulation and control of space mechanisms. In particular, the coursefocuses on the mathematical modeling, simulation, and control of an innovative planar pick andplace mechanism capable of dynamically changing its topology within its workspace. Thisimmersive educational experience allows students to connect fundamental mathematicalmodeling of a physical system to the real-time control of physical hardware.

to be inevitable actually reflects choices (and principles ofUDL would probably question the defensibility of the lab’s original safety standards). The notionthat a given teaching space is unsafe for persons of sensory impairment or limited mobilityshould begin, not end, conversations about inclusion.The idea that that a visually impaired student could not be safe in the chemistry laboratory shedsa raking light on the moral economy of STEM instruction. “Accommodation” and changes ofany kind deriving from the needs or positions of students (rather than from inside the customaryexpertise of STEM professors) challenge ideas central to the culture of STEM. These are notsimply hierarchical habits that on principle devalue the experiences of
