in fall 2005, enrollment has increased from 50 (fall 2005) to 255(fall 2016). In 2015 COT applied for an ABET accreditation for the SM program, and in spring2016 the accreditation was granted. Although spring 2010 is the first semester for students toenroll in the SM program in COT, enrollment has increased from 69 (spring 2010) to 100students in fall 2016. With this positive trend, we believe we are on par to meet the enrollmentgoals for both programs in the next few years.The courses taught through each program’s course of study emphasize both theoretical andtechnical knowledge and application and are comprised of group learning, projects, and hands-on(laboratory) components. Small class size and low student-instructor ratio provide a more

The workshop offered themelectures, laboratory experiment, field data/sample collection, and GIS/remote sensing softwaretraining. Additionally, field trip was conducted to the Maumee Bay to collect water samples,practice instruments, and make a field survey of Maumee Watershed. A tour to Vision Lab atUniversity of Dayton was conducted to learn more about the image processing and analyses,beyond the areas of natural resources management, in facial recognition, autonomous
the curriculum (Figure 1). Kuh [6] argues for high impact practices (HIPs)in the curriculum and advocates for one in the first year and one in the majors curriculum thatoccurs later. Although not in the first year due to the large core curriculum requirements, thedepartment offers one HIP at the start of the major, and one at the end of the senior year. The first HIP occurs during a three week period in the summer between the sophomoreand junior year, Civil Engineering 351: Civil Engineering Practices – Field Engineering. Thecourse is required for all civil engineering majors and is affectionately referred to as “FERL”since it is held at the department’s 50-acre Field Engineering and Readiness Laboratory (FERL)site.

obstacles is the existence of unconscious and conscious biases in faculty searchprocedures, which put candidates from minoritized identities at a disadvantage (Roper, 2019;Sackett et al., 1991; Steinpreis et al., 1999; Wapman et al., 2022; Wenneras & Wold, 1997; Wu etal., 2023). Such biases may also exist when considering prospective faculty members’qualifications as to their day-to-day responsibilities – teaching, research, and service – which, inmost institutions, involves engaging with people from a wide range of identities in the classroom,in laboratories, and beyond. Thus, DEI-related qualifications such as the ability to employinclusive teaching practices is an important measure of merit for faculty members.Purpose and Research QuestionIt
are interested inpursuing higher education in the United States. Several unique factors contribute to theattractiveness of U.S. colleges and universities for students from India: • Research Opportunities: U.S. universities provide extensive opportunities for research and innovation. Students can access cutting-edge laboratories, libraries, and resources to engage in meaningful research projects. • International Reputation: A degree from a U.S. university is widely recognized and respected globally. Many employers value the skills and knowledge gained through a U.S. education. • English as the Medium of Instruction: Studying in the U.S. offers the chance to improve English language proficiency, an

The lab allows the ETs and students to interact in anunstructured environment, building stronger ET-student connections. Chemistry is typically thefirst college lab experience students have, so in-lab assistance can be extremely helpful.In fact, one Chemistry faculty member found that employing an ET has increased the successrate in their General Chemistry 1 classes as follows: 49% in Spring 2022 (first semesterimplementing ET) to 63% in Fall 2022 and to 66% in Fall 2023.

], which introducessome active programming teaching methods. Portela employed four approaches to develop theinstructional plan, namely: BYOD, flipped classroom, gamification, and using the skills ofindividual students to solve posed problems. Tewolde presented a method for improving studentmotivation in a microcontroller-based embedded systems course to enhance students’ role inactive learning [10]. The method consists of three tools, namely: laboratory assignments forpractical hands-on activities, “peer teaching” techniques, and self-proposal, which enablesindividual creativity. For some complex and difficult to understand courses such as programmingalgorithms-related subjects, Garcia et al. [11] proposed a method in the form of
only one semester. A goal is to expand to fall and springwith the same cohort of university students, but that seems to be a constraint as some studentscan only take the class one semester. Another challenge is when to start the engagement in theelementary school. The local school district has teaching time and materials requirements andaligning the best day for the outreach engagement can be a challenge. Working with the schoolson designated outreach days has been successful; however, the schedule may not always alignwith the university students’ schedules. Some of the more positive opportunities are to bringmore elementary students to campus to participate in hands-on learning at the design studio laband to visit research laboratories. This
to students to visit the laboratory (Figure 3). Two effectivemodifications emerged. When provided by advisors, college associate deans and faculty, therewere no students who responded to the invitation. Both individual emails or group emailsprovided no distinction, Subsequently 4 under-represented students were employed to reachstudents. They sent group and follow up individual e-mails. A higher interest resulted. Of 44students who were contacted individually, 12 signed up to visit faculty. The student mentorprovided the questions that students raised as did the faculty. Questions to the faculty centered onthe technical and research field while questions to the student were personal/financial/communication based.Figure 3: Faculty invitations

culture of engineering, which has been characterized as masculine,competitive, individualistic, and meritocratic [16],[17]. A number of these attributes areproblematic with regards to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) and could detractfrom the appropriate valuation of research conducted by URMWF. Further, it should not beassumed that white women will be supporters and allies of URMWF [18],[19],[20]; e.g., “thereis a long history of white women not being trustworthy allies” [21]. Thus, change withinengineering broadly, and EnvE more specifically, is critically needed.

critical thinking skills. Gradually, the student will be able to apply the concepts learned processing from basic to complex skills through activities like laboratories with specific feedback with the sole intention for improvement. The application of the knowledge might also then lead to analysis by exploring connections and organizing information into meaningful domains similar to writing a report. This also might include discussing discrepancies in cases and the student might explore other personal variables through their increased critical thinking [17].The taxonomy introduces a new dimension, highlighting four types of knowledge—factual,conceptual, procedural, and metacognitive—aimed at addressing diverse
