However,although each of the authors is part of the instruction team, we maintain an analytic tonethroughout the paper, reflecting on the complexity of how curricular activities interacted withstudents’ professional identities.The intent of this paper is not to define a localized set of curricular decisions as a “best practice”in relation to community engagement. Rather, we aim to generate constructive dialogueregarding engineering educators who are fusing engineering with community engagement. Inwhat ways might these curricular experiences inadvertently reinforce

Hence, there needs to be a more structuredapproach in educational design that relates to the “writing in the disciplines” (WID) approach,wherein faculty provide students a clear, discipline-informed framework for writing that seesdisciplinary differences in writing practices through the lens of genre. In this way, students receiveinsight into genres that will likely be part of their future workplace.

the faculty prioritized ensuring that our students have “anability to…create a collaborative and inclusive environment” upon graduation. Our approach tointroducing DEI pedagogy was to focus on a first-year course, Grand Challenges in Engineering(GCE), and a second-year course, Engineering Mechanics: Statics (Statics). GCE is the firstfoundational design course in the program, where ABET Student Outcomes (SOs) 2-6 areintroduced. This was a natural fit for introducing DEI concepts, since they tie well with SOs 3(effective communication) and 5 (function effectively on a team). While Statics is a less obviouschoice to integrate DEI instruction, it was an opportunity to explore innovative ways toemphasize the importance of DEI in engineering in a

They expect the course to providea bridge between the “two worlds”, or between “the past and the future”.The capstone course at our institution has been described elsewhere [3]. Essentially, it is a five-credit-hour course, offered twice a year in the spring term (two sections) and in the summersession (one section). Spring sections normally enroll 30-50 students, and less than 20 in thesummer sessions. One faculty teaches each section. Spring sessions may have one or twoteaching assistants (graduate students).

It incorporates established best practices for working with URM students such asSTEM identity formation through experiential programs including student research andinternships, a focus on critical junctures, training of faculty and staff to enhance culturalcompetency, and building of academic integration and STEM self-efficacy. An extensiveevaluation plan designed around the project logic model will be used as the basis for projectassessment.

The study’s purpose was to “…provide insights into the research question of whether freshman undergraduate engineering students can be more innovative than seniors.” Student teams were challenged to design a “next-generation alarm clock” and analyze the Page 26.421.7 results for “originality and technical feasibility.” Conclusion: “Freshman-level students generate designs with higher levels of originality than their
