. First, the project focuses on faculty community, rather thanexternal communities such as companies or local residential communities. The definition ofcommunity we adopted is not just in a physical location, but in an organizational location, in “thecooperation in labor, order and management,” (Tönnies, 2000, p. 43). This is important in ourconsideration of community of engagement, as we go beyond physical boundaries, such as thosebetween university and its wider locale, to cognitive boundaries, such as those within and amonguniversity colleges and departments. It is with this in mind that we define engagement andengaged communities. Second, it expands the definitions and model of community engagementby highlighting how engineering faculty

positiveinterpersonal (such as belongingness) and intrapersonal (such as mindfulness) competencies thatcomplement the field’s traditional focus on academic competencies (such as GPA). Thisapproach to conceptualizing thriving is consistent with Seligman’s (2013) claim thatinterventions which mitigate problems differ from those that foster thriving.The purpose of this conceptual framework for engineering thriving is to take the first step indefining the competencies relevant to engineering student success, as informed by a search ofengineering education literature, review of professional reports relevant to undergraduateengineering student success, feedback from engineering education faculty and conversationswith undergraduate engineering students.

), I need to work harder, or excel beyond other men, in order for my input to even be considered as valuable.”One of our goals for the unit was for students to consider whether investigating who participatesin STEM is (or should be) an important part of learning physics. Alyssa answers this question asshe describes the importance of this class to her personally: “This classes addresses tough topics, beyond physical material. While learning quantum mechanics is the primary focus, this is the perfect class to tie in challenging societal norms and stigmas. I say the word “engineer” and an image of a white male almost instantaneously appears in my mind.”For Alyssa, her own awareness of the lack of

A Cognitive-Based Approach for Teaching Programming to Computer Science and Engineering Students Covington, R. and Benegas, L. California State University Northridge, Northridge, CA, 913301. IntroductionAn issue receiving attention in the undergraduate Computer Science curriculum over the pastfew years has been the high failure rate in the freshman programming course. This coursegenerally corresponds to the ACM/IEEE course designation CS1. It is normally an introductorybut fast-paced and challenging course for students who have not previously studied computerprogramming (programming novices), but who do have a minimum level of mathematicalmaturity (students who are

But as a code word or somethingtangible in the minds of change agents, references to “culture” and culture change havebeen plentiful in literature of the engineering education reform movement.
