, but the primary concern would be in setting up false expectations in newly hired faculty who do not understand the final objectives and outcomes of the P&T process. By providing new faculty members with OES-l opportunities that are "outside of the academic mainstream" compared to the traditional P&T process—without ALSO mentoring them so they know about and understand the need to address the core function of the P&T process (Teaching, Creative Activities, & Service) —then they may be moving along an inappropriate career trajectory, leading to disappointment, failure, and possible law suits as a result. ≠ Retention is much influenced by the OES-l as a part of P&T process

Student knowledge of thepractice of engineering and possible careers paths for engineering graduates early in theircollegiate careers is minimal at best.

With theproven importance of introductory ECE education in influencing students’ undergraduateinterests and future career prospects in technology, the inaccessibility of the field to learners withdisabilities poses an inequitable access barrier that further marginalizes these learners, oftenpreventing them from exploring the field in the first place.

project is very open-ended in nature. A key learning goal forCDC is that students develop a systematic approach to engineering design (ILO 5), a crucialcomponent of which is dealing with high levels of uncertainty. This uncertainty arises whenthere is not one clear solution to the problem at hand. Although this situation is the norm for aprofessional engineer, it is quite foreign to our students at this stage in their careers. Byencountering such an open-ended design problem, teams are forced to take a methodical reviewof possible approaches and make evaluations based on design criteria if they are to be successful.Finally, the CDC design project is a twelve-week, semester-long endeavor and thus must be ofsufficient scope to engage and challenge
