Thecourse emphasizes core engineering design principles alongside an entrepreneurial mindset, witha specific focus on projects centered around sustainable technologies and markets. It furtherintroduces students to critical aspects of social responsibility by addressing global andenvironmental issues, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) considerations, and the necessity ofsustainable technological innovations within
Establishment of a New Engineering Program Mark A. Pagano, School of Engineering and Technology, University of Washington Tacoma, and Michael S. Sullivan, Arifacts, Inc. Tacoma, WA USA Abstract – In today’s world, “place” is an ever increasingelement of almost every known culture and geographic region.Research also shows that place-based education (PBE) can fostera student’s connection to place and help them better understandthe need to take care of the world. We therefore believe that itshould be a critically important factor in the building andestablishment of any new engineering program. Place wasdefinitely an important factor in 1989 when the State ofWashington committed itself to
