It suggests future experimental and theoreticalwork to refine the features that have been articulated.1 IntroductionLaboratory activities, defined here as “instructor-led, hands-on experiences in which studentscharacterize or prototype an engineering artifact or measure natural phenomena,” are acornerstone of engineering pedagogy, with some estimates predicting that as many as 50% ofengineering classes include a laboratory activity [1].

To meet the drastic changes in the world, many countrieshave released educational policies to promote innovation. Western countries, such as U.S.and Australia, have paid much attention to curriculum reform that allocates a massive amountof money to promote STEM curriculum and teachers’ training [1, 2]. In the Asian context,China launched a Strategy of Invigorating the Country through Science and Education knownas Kejiao Xingguo, which identified science and technology as the essential subjects todevelop nations’ 21st-century skills [3].

While they had different paths tocreation, they share common goals and a synergy that are beneficial to the success of each. Theway in which these two programs developed, overlap, and ultimately strengthen each other isdescribed in this paper, a work-in-progress demonstrating the synergy between these twoserendipitous events in creating support for a more diverse and engaged faculty.A Tale of Two InitiativesPart 1: Campus Culture and Gender

Definitions vary, but it generally refersto postsecondary students who meet some of the following criteria: being older than 25 years old,having a gap between post-secondary education and high school graduation, being financiallyindependent from their parents and having dependents. These conditions require them to workfull or part-time while pursuing their degree. This presents a significant challenge, as balancingwork and school lead to increased stress, fatigue, and a reduced ability to focus on academics [1].In some cases, students may drop out due to the demands of their job.
