Additional interviews with students, faculty andadministrators will be conducted during the 2024-25 school year.During this project, five student research assistants conducted semi-structured interviews withtheir fellow students. The interview data collected was analyzed and used to help createsuggestions for practices that might lead to a diverse and inclusive culture in our newmakerspace.

However,there are significant differences between ECE490 and our capstone design classes. First, unlikesenior design, ECE490 has a single course objective: Students will be able to apply theengineering design process. Second, it is a truly multi-disciplinary class, and in ECE490engineers of all majors (bio, civil, computer, electrical, and mechanical) work on multi-disciplinary teams developing solutions to real world problems.One of the most significant differences between ECE490 and the senior design sequence is

That which seemed missing occurred at theoutset and at the conclusion of the process including: (1) a beginning with an open mind freefrom pre-conceived notion, biases and prejudices; (2) an explicit challenge to the designer toconsider the plight of the Earth; and (3) an exploration of the values and purposes associatedboth with the design and the designer. The challenge at hand then is to bring these three newelements into the morally deep design paradigm already

The rods areingeniously sized such that right triangles are naturally formed. While one size of rod forms thesides of a triangle, the next size up forms the hypotenuse. The pattern continues as the rodschange colors and triangles get progressively larger. The connectors allow rods to be joined at45 and 90 degree angles in various configurations. Some connectors

The majority ofparticipants self-identified as Black and only one student as white. These students wereimmersed in a week-long experience wherein they toured campus facilities, spoke with industryprofessionals, toured local engineering companies, and completed hands-on STEM andcommunication activities.
