skin, convenient accessibility, and prox-imity to blood vessels and systemic circulation make skin an obvious candidate for a route of drug admin-istration. In this module, students will explore the permeability of porcine skin, easily obtainable at a gro-cery store and cost-effective. Porcine skin has been shown to be histologically and biochemically similar 9to human skin, and have a similar permeability[ ]. In parallel, students will measure mass transfer across Page 24.963.6biomaterials using artificial skin and also determine the effects of various permeation enhancers on themass

Homero’s goal is to develop engineering education practices that value the capital that tra- ditionally marginalized students, bring into the field, and to train graduate students and faculty members with the tool to promote effective and inclusive learning environments and mentorship practices. Homero has been recognized as a Diggs Teaching Scholar, a Graduate Academy for Teaching Excellence Fellow, a Global Perspectives Fellow, a Diversity Scholar, a Fulbright Scholar, a recipient of the NSF CAREER award, and was inducted into the Bouchet Honor Society.

Such inclusion of students’ lives can help to break down racialand gender barriers regarding students’ beliefs about who can be a data or computer scientist.NJ is at a crossroads with K-12 Computer Science Education. The state is still developing itscomputer science education standards and outlining required faculty expertise for school districts,making the student and teacher experience variable across the region and even within districts.While many faculty are taking advantage of services and opportunities from

Finally, we will conclude with theoverall lessons we learned from this experience and discuss next summer’s plans as a result ofour analysis and self-reflections. We hope that our shared experiences (struggles,accomplishments, and mistakes, etc.) will help the engineering education community developmore effective relationships with K-12 by using the models we implemented.IntroductionOne of the biggest challenges for the engineering faculty in college is to teach the freshmen, i.e.students who have just graduated from high school. Student grades decrease in average due tothe transition from high school to the college. Engineering programs in particular face

, and ethnic diversity. Among its 3100 undergraduate students,around 39% are recipients of Pell grants, and 29% are pursuing majors in STEM fields. Thecampus faces challenges as a significant number of students come from K-12 systems thathaven't adequately prepared them for college-level math and science. Additionally, manystudents work over 20 hours per week, often off-campus, and spend an average of 2 hours dailycommuting on public transportation.These circumstances contribute to lower retention and graduation rates, particularly affectingstudents from racial and ethnic minorities who are already underrepresented in the STEMworkforce. Notably, recent data shows that only about 45% of all majors manage to graduatewith a bachelor's degree

National Science Foundation(NSF) venture to develop a nanotechnology-based educational intervention to increase a large(~2,000 students per year) number of future practicing engineers’ awareness of nanotechnology.One of the primary goals of this NSF grant was to expose the next generation of engineers tonanotechnology through the creation and implementation of nanotechnology interventions in acollege-wide first-year engineering (FYE) course, while adhering to the current learningobjectives and time constraints of the course. This endeavor required an effective partnershipbetween chemical engineering and engineering education faculty members such that realisticimpacts could be had in the FYE classrooms. In this way, the subject experts could
