, the Industry Advisorwas on campus one day a week. During the pandemic, the Industry Advisor remained available,albeit online. The Industry Advisor is transitioning to be back on campus regularly this yearwhile continuing to hold online meetings with students and faculty.d. Remote teaching and learning. The pandemic gave faculty an opportunity to change how wedesign and deliver our courses. To promote inclusive practice, faculty utilized recorded lectures,online collaboration tools and instant messaging apps to provide multiple ways ofcommunication for students. To continue the emphasis of “doing engineering,” faculty alsoimplemented remote laboratories that utilized tools accessible to students. More details onchanges made to accommodate
choosingpartners for projects, assigning technical roles on teams, evaluating the contributions of others,and other common STEM activities. Utilizing the model, intervention methods and/oreducational tools could be developed by STEM educators to provideSTEM students withinformation and resources about how subtle bias is evidenced in STEM settings, which can helpthem learn to recognize it and avoid it in their own behaviors and choices.AcknowledgmentsThe authors acknowledge the contributions of Nadia Vossoughi, Desiree Aleibar, Ariana MunozSalgado, Koji Takahashi, Nicolas Anderson, Saleen Picard, Callie Cade, Katrina Castillano, andLeo Thiesen.

technologicalachievements of the college. . In view of the fact that there are few scientific and technological achievementsthat can be transformed and promoted in Chinese universities, the theoretical scientificand technological achievements of schools often stay in the laboratory "small test" stage,most of which are research results of scientific research projects, and the recognition ofenterprises is not high.

research was challenging for both faculty and students,as many conferences and journals are discipline-specific. One semester may not be sufficient tosubmit final research product for journal publication. Literature review papers may be more suitedto being completed in the one semester period. The two projects, which include laboratory-basedexperiments, required additional time beyond the course, and student teams may not have theability to complete them. During the spring 2021 semester, there was a lot of uncertainty aboutconferences modes (virtual, hybrid, or in person) and with conference deadlines six months ormore before the conference, these factors may have steered students away from selecting aconference paper as a product. Students were
programdesigners or social science researchers, so our closeness to the project could have clouded ourability to be neutral on the mentoring experiences shared by the participants.FindingsFor the participants in this study, their experiences as mentees in the IMPACT program providedpractical strategies and tools to implement in their faculty-student mentoring relationships.

Consider an inexperienced engineer who understands that the life safety provisions ofAISC and ACI design specifications rigidly represent “safety of the public.” Without a fullunderstanding of load paths, load redistribution, and assumptions in approximate analysis thisengineer may not understand why a supervisor decides that a slightly overstressed member (persimplified design) is acceptable. The inexperienced engineer may feel that they are being askedto risk public safety, or alternatively extrapolate this

support for all forms of active learning examined. Student centric curriculum design andimplementation was discussed in business management & IT education in [9] and can be appliedto other subject including engineering education. In [10], a student-centered approach coupledwith the full integration of lecture and laboratory formats and hands-on activity based-instructionshowed clear cognitive and attitudinal gains in students. Chapman in [17] provided educatorswith recommendations for developing and presenting an effective and worthwhile lecture. A 5-step Paper-Based model was discussed in [18] to foster students’ participation in large lectures.Cognitive theories describe three phases of the learning process from attention to comprehensionto

They identified 14 key skillsneeded for research and development, with a strong emphasis on following the scientific method,including formulating research questions and hypotheses, designing experiments, collecting data,and drawing appropriate conclusions. They analyzed how each skill was taught through thecurriculum and concluded that project work and laboratories were especially important atreinforcing these skills. Finally, Gross et al. investigated a guided inquiry activity to preparestudents for careers in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, specifically focusing onhelping students relate their knowledge and experiences to business needs

manifestation, theEngineering Design course is part of a core 1st year module on Engineering Practice, withChemical Engineering Laboratories and MATLAB contributing the other two components.Engineering Design is one of the very first courses that students engage with and acts as auseful means to introduce them to the actual work of a professional chemical engineer. Theinitial intention of the design project was to introduce students to engineering conventions andprocedures that can be carried forward into subsequent design and later projects [5]. This1primary intention has not changed over the years with identifying and solving a chemicalengineering design problem at the heart of the course (Ibid.). However, there have been certainshifts in terms of

Acrossall engineering programs, the embrace of inquiry and project-based learning has beenintensifying and has potentially been accelerated by the pandemic conditions, which limitedstudent

In a vertically-integrated program,students are first taught fundamental principles of written, visual, and oral communication in theEngineering Systems course; they then learn more specific skills in their laboratory courses, andfinally learn professional practice skills in the capstone course.

As it was impractical to ship activity materials to each student, we adaptedour off-campus outreach to a remote format by presenting virtually from a teaching laboratory atthe University of Michigan.

].STEM academic positions often require substantial needs for laboratory space andinstrumentation, along with startup funding that often comes with timeline constraints, all ofwhich can pose particular challenges when disabilities are not considered in the design andimplementation of the workplaces. Furthermore, despite decades of research that has addressedincreasing diversity among STEM faculty, very little work has addressed accessibility and equityfor disabled faculty. Conference participation poses challenges for some faculty with disabilitiesranging from access to spaces, accessible technology, sign language interpreters, extra travelexpenses, and appropriate food [27].
