For this reason, accreditation institutions atthe collegiate level such as the Accounting Education Change Commission (AECC) and theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), are requiring higher educationinstitutions to introduce teamwork activities into their curriculums5,6. In response to thisdemand, institutions of higher education are developing methodologies for introducing teamworkin their classrooms for enhancing the process of learning.

This is difficult to achieve within the present teaching environment wheredesign teaching resources are fragmented. Therefore, a complete design environment called“Total Design Studio” has been created. In this studio, one finds all essential tools needed forcarrying out the teaching, the learning and the practice of engineering design.

with no sense of how to be a good teacher, the authors counter with this hopefulthought. "The examples of exemplary university-level mathematics professors, those whoseteaching practices are unique and engaging, make us realize that complete trivialization (ofteaching) is not inevitable." [18, p. 38] Their more hopeful tone affirms that integrated teacheridentity successfully exists and, therefore, is possible to help graduate students obtain.With this in mind, the current study aims to find what shared meanings can be found thatintegrate the professional identities of engineer, researcher, and teacher using autoethnographicmethodology.

If separate, discipline-specific presentations are given during the semester, require one student representative from each project discipline at every presentation. For example, require a computer science team member to attend the mechanical engineering student briefing and vice versa. This helps students keep the entire project in mind and also encourages students to work together. • Require Weekly Reports. Each student project team submits a one-page project summary report to their instructor and project advisor by noon every Friday. One section of the report

To begin to unpack thiscomplexity, we present an initial exploration of the intersections of disciplinary, institutional,and national cultures on the departmental cultures within two different engineering disciplinesacross six universities.2. Examining culture2.1 Disciplinary cultureAs noted above, research on academic disciplines as cultures began to emerge in the 1970s asBiglan [1] explored the ways in which the values, norms, and beliefs of students and faculty arealso shaped by disciplinary cultures. As Becher [14] explains, “[d]isciplines are also culturalphenomena: they are embodied in collections of like-minded people, each with their own codesof conduct, sets of values and

It is from these roots that my passion for education and engineering comefrom but also my strong belief that education is power and everyone is entitled to it. ThoughI attended a four university for engineering. I believe that community college is becoming acritical pathway to educating and diversifying engineering. With this in mind I realize I mayhave an outsider looking in perspective and that as a researcher it is difficult to separate mypositionality from my work (Secules et al. 2021).

Through energyaudits, which are very much hands-on and well within the technical reach of undergraduates, wecan teach students about sustainability and ways to reduce energy, an inspiring and fulfilling taskwhen considering our nation’s energy usage and the need to educate these young minds towardsbecoming stewards of the environment [7].
