These projects focus on an engineering designpedagogy that provides students an opportunity to engage with CAD and digital fabricationtechnologies in the classroom to create, build, and refine their designs. WISEngineering’sprojects immerse students in engineering habits of mind such as systems thinking, creativity,optimism, and collaboration, in conjunction with standards-based mathematics and scienceconcepts.The Community Center Challenge (CC) project, formerly referred to as the Community BuildingChallenge (CBC), is a two-week long WISEngineering instructional module that asks students todesign and construct a model for a new community center while facilitating instruction ofCommon Core
objectives were:1. Apply the fundamental principles of soil mechanics and foundation engineering to solve geotechnical engineering problems.2. Apply the engineering design process to design solutions to geotechnical engineering problems.3. Communicate and justify engineering design through oral and written form.4.

JHU attended the AspireSummer Institute (ASI), an immersive professional development experience for faculty offeredby the NSF Eddie Bernice Johnson INCLUDES Aspire Alliance. Through this training, CMUand JHU embraced identity-affirming mentorship as a strategy to address the color evasiveperspective of their engineering schools that overlooks racial differences and emphasizessameness [2]. The two schools also developed a draft action plan that focused on building eachschool’s capacity to be equity-minded using the Inclusive Professional Framework for Faculty(IPF). Following the ASI, CMU, JHU, and NYU began meeting weekly to share learnings fromthe institute, discuss policies and practices related to faculty advancement at each institution

As a result, the student population inengineering at UWM tends to consist of a higher percentage of under-prepared students enteringthe program than most engineering schools, but at the same time offers many undergraduateresearch opportunities for highly-motivated students. This brief profile of the engineeringstudents will be important to keep in mind as the results of this project are discussed.The use of project-based learning1,2 is not new, and has taken on various forms at differentinstitutions.

The fully online Arduino module has the benefit of having minimalimpact on the overall course format, and it allows students to work at their own pace through thelessons, as there is likely a wide range of incoming knowledge for students in this first yearcourse. As there have been urgent calls for post-secondary institutions to produce engineers whonot only have a sound technical background but are also entrepreneurially minded and criticalthinkers [10], [11], this module was designed not only to provide students with technical skills,but also to inspire curiosity about other

Many instructors chose to have their TAs grade the reflections, which became difficultfor those TAs who were unable to attend class themselves:"I think one think that would have helped was to be involved in that maybe to just have a feel ofwhat their class is like, because while I was giving feedback, I'm giving feedback as a, what willI call it, third party - I don't know anything about the course. So, I'm only able to use myknowledge of engineering to kind of figure out what's going on...So probably being in one or twoclasses that they will reflect upon would have helped to guide them appropriately."

Curriculum adjustments within four-year institutions should keep transfer students in mind. • Universities need to consider how transfer students can get
