focuses on communication in engineering design, interdisciplinary communication and collaboration, design education, and gender in engineering. She was awarded a CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation to study expert teaching in capstone design courses, and is co-PI on numerous NSF grants exploring communication, design, and identity in engineering. Drawing on theories of situated learning and identity development, her work includes studies on the teaching and learning of communication, effective teaching practices in design education, the effects of differing design pedagogies on retention and motivation, the dynamics of cross-disciplinary collaboration in both academic and industry design
slide presentations can serve as useful tools to a certain point in theclassroom, but without augmenting this classroom learning with experience through application,much of what is gained by students in the classroom may not endure throughout a student’ssubsequent career. In our ever more complex and dramatically changing world, futureenvironmental dilemmas will require innovative solutions from our rising engineers. Thisinnovation demands mastery in both understanding and applying science and engineeringfundamentals – skill sets that are gained through deliberate and effective experiential, pragmaticlearning opportunities.References[1] M.

Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (Fundamental)IntroductionIn spite of efforts to diversify the engineering workforce, the profession remains largelydominated by White, male engineers [1]. Better approaches are needed to attract and retainunderrepresented groups to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers,such as engineering.One literacy-based approach that has been shown to provide effective instruction for K-12students generally, and students from underrepresented groups specifically, is DisciplinaryLiteracy Instruction (DLI). DLI utilizes knowledge of the ways advanced practitioners read,interpret, and generate discipline-specific content in their professional environment to apprenticestudents
successfully transitioned to student-centered teaching strategies. She co-designed the environmental engineering synthesis and design studios and the design spine for the mechanical engineering program at UGA. She is engaged in mentoring early career faculty at her univer- sity and within the PEER National Collaborative. In 2013 she was selected to be a National Academy of Engineering Frontiers of Engineering Education Faculty Member.Dr. Brooke Charae Coley, Arizona State University, Polytechnic campus Brooke Coley, PhD is an Assistant Professor in Engineering at the Polytechnic School of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University. Dr. Coley is Principal Investigator of the Shifting Perceptions
