learning objectives, similar tothose university faculty would detail in the objectives of a syllabus. All but eight US states haveadopted common core state standards (http://www.corestandards.org/), but most curriculumstandards for each particular jurisdiction are often detailed online and may be found with asimple internet search. Before a visit to a school is proposed, it is important to identify and assesshow the team will specifically address the curricular needs of that particular classroom. For ourparticular project, we are targeting the core standards set by the state of Utah(https://www.uen.org/core/), but each state should have similar requirements. Because this project intersects with topics from mathematics to environmental

) and a PhD (from the University of Victoria) in Computer Science, and she has developed and taught over a dozen courses at the university level. Beyond her teaching experience, she also has over a decade of industry experience as a software developer. In industry, she has a history of solving ’unsolvable’ problems. She enjoys a great deal of personal satisfaction when her analytical and problem solving skills can be applied to solve complex technical problems and when she can find creative new ways to pass the things she has learned on to the next generation. Her first teaching experience was at Ozanam Sheltered Workshop teaching adults with mental and physical disabilities. The experience gave her the

Students are often asked torate the degree to which they agree (e.g., from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree”) withstatements such as “Overall, my instructor’s teaching was effective.” These scores are typicallyaveraged and used for comparisons across departments, colleges, and potentially the entireuniversity. In some cases, SET forms will include an open-ended text box where students canelaborate or express concerns not addressed in the quantitative

The Canadian book, Fundamental Competencies forthe 21st Century Engineers, has also recognized this need, and has added leadership as anessential competency for engineers in their most recent edition [7]. The attribute of leadershiphas also been included in the new student outcomes for ABET (Accreditation Board for 1Engineering and Technology), which will become effective in the 2019-2020 accreditation cycle(replacing the “a-k” outcomes).

project was an even mix between process and product, observing the students surprise at the amount of process needed to successfully launch a commercial product. The nature of the project was very interdisciplinary crossing between, software, firmware and hardware. • Credit hours and accreditation requirement: The course was two semesters for 8 credit hours. Several learning outcomes and educational objectives were documented in the course syllabus and assessment data was collected and monitored. • Outcome evaluation: Overall this was considered a “good” outcome in that the company is now selling commercial products. Reflecting on the project there was an obvious disconnect between the industry

diversity education into first year is an obviousimmediately achievable goal, with many programs already incorporating some elements atpresent. Another obvious place to include a deep dive in diversity would be in courses on ethicsand professionalism, or in co-op and capstone experiences. Here lessons about diversity can bereadily applied in workplace contexts, and future employers can readily build on educationaloutcomes in industry training settings. Finally, we must seriously consider how to build diversityeducation into the engineering core courses. One easily implementable way to do this would beto identify and highlight achievers in the field who are members of diverse groups. Studentscould do this as an assignment initially, and profiles

Examples of these would be a course syllabus, a program of study, student- teacher contracts, and/or any documented and written course expectations.2. Null Curriculum: Entails what is not taught in the classroom due to mandates from higher authorities, a teacher’s lack of knowledge, or deeply ingrained assumptions and biases [1]. An example of this would be teachers and school systems choosing not to explain certain concepts (e.g., Christopher Columbus’s colonization methods toward many native peoples when he "discovered" the Americas).3.
