HSE teams write business plans, solve real-world problems, perform testing andanalyses, build prototypes, manufacture parts, operate within budgets, and manage their projects.Each spring, HSE teams showcase their work alongside college students at the University’sUndergraduate Expo. At the conclusion of their HSE experiences, it is expected that the studentswill demonstrate proficiency in applied workforce skills, they will be more disposed to enterSTEM careers, and they will be prepared to undertake the training and education needed to enterthose careers.HSE is modeled after Michigan Technological University’s highly successful and nationallyacclaimed

During the almost weekly discussionsof the case study, both the regular (technical) course instructor and the liberal arts (nontechnical)instructors met with students in class to coach them through the process of writing a case studyas well as to elicit feedback on the case-study module process. A timeline of the case-studymodule activities is summarized in Table 1. The weeks without content in this timeline coveredtechnical course material. As the timeline indicates, elements of the case-study module spannedmost of the semester, allowing students the opportunity to revisit these concepts throughout thecourse. Page 15.26.5Table 1.

Each group chooses an engineeringtopic related to daily life, defines its domain, and solves problems that may have multiplesolutions. After choosing a topic, the students in a group hold brainstorming sessions, define thedomain of the topic, work on the most optimal solution and its design, refine the design, presentthe results in class, and evaluate each group member’s contribution by peer evaluation.

Another point worth mentioning is that before theformal SLDR presentation, the team had to go through a practice presentation before facultycoaches and other IPPD students, and to receive critiques about their presentation.

The story is different in college where she is often the only Latine student in her classes. There, she hides the competencies learned in her community as they do not look as cutting edge as the robotics and design examples in the models of engineering portfolios. Her ideas are powerful yet frequently misunderstood by her peers, most of whom grew up in affluent communities.

campuscommunity. This final project was selected for several reasons. First, it is designed to encouragestudents to tap into their funds of knowledge, or their unique perspectives imparted by family,community, and peers [1]. The funds of knowledge framework, which was originally developedby Vélez-Ibáñez and Greenberg in 1992 in Tucson, Arizona [2], [3], views students’ priorknowledge and life experiences as an asset that augments student learning [4] rather thanexpecting students to adapt to a way of thinking imparted by the course or college environment[5]. The implementation of asset-based frameworks in STEM courses at the K-12 and post-secondary level aims to “change the ways of knowing that are valued within engineering.” [6]Second, research suggests
