Although the numbers in Tables 1 and 2provide a baseline description of the composition of the department at this point in time, this isreally a snapshot of a dynamic and evolving population that would likely be better capturedthrough ecosystem metrics [11]. Additionally, we have submitted an NSF proposal that willsupport addressing DEI-related concepts (among other things) throughout a four-course labsequence in the core undergraduate curriculum. Through this and many complimentary efforts,we plan to put in place a framework through which students, faculty, and staff can co-create aclimate that fosters access and inclusion and leads to

-hour semester course (as a minimum) can have substantial results and initiate an invention, whereas a one credit-hour course cannot do much more than provide the foundational framework for subsequent application in a design project, thus losing the benefit of just-in-time learning. • The foundational skills (lateral thinking, teaming, communication) as well as the four- quadrant thinking and creative problem solving models are key and must not be neglected or skipped, if promising inventions or entrepreneuring ideas are sought. • Ideally in an engineering program, these foundational skills should have been learned by the junior year as part of an integrated approach that moves from

Among General Education(GenEd) faculty at DeVry, we have experienced three models to promote critical thinking acrossthe curriculum.1. Persuade faculty to incorporate Critical Thinking in every course. ½This can be achieved by: ½ Getting students to answer in complete sentences on labs, quizzes, exams Avoiding regurgitative multiple-choice questions that only assess memory not thinking ½ or problem-solving ½ Giving students problems to trouble-shoot individually and in groups Encouraging substantiated

Many areas have been attracted touse the term Sustainability to refer to keeping up, prolonging, and enduring.Sustainability have been used in areas such as development, ecology, energy,biology, to name a few. According to [1], sustainability is the noun form of theverb to sustain, and it means to keep up, prolong, endure, etc. The termSustainability is sometimes coupled with the synonym Maintainability whichmeans to keep in an appropriate condition or to sustain against opposition ordanger. The main difference between Sustainability and Maintainability is theamount of energy and the type of effort needed

).The winds of change in engineering education have been blowing for some time, and thequestion arises “Why hasn’t more change occurred faster?” Wulf’s (2002) “hypothesis is simplythat the faculty don't believe that change is needed. They are following the wise adage, 'if it ain'tbroke, don't fix it.' If one hasn't had recent experience in industry, …, and if the change is amosaic in multiple dimensions whose pattern is hard to discern, then the fact that it's 'broke' isnot easy to see." This allegation of resistance from faculty is ironic given Koen’s (2003) claimthat change is fundamental to engineering; in fact it is an integral part of his definition of theengineering method – “the use of heuristics to cause the best possible change in a

S/he must be willing to learn from the endless praxis’ exercise and even to be taught by the supposedly naive grassroots group s/he is serving: learning from the group’s knowledge, strategies of political action, worldviews and values, etc.Since a grassroots engineer is supposed to be able to develop popular education alongside – or asan integrant part of – the technical support they provide to grassroots groups, they must be aneducator engineer.

Research skills, and increasingly teaching ability, have been coreto the graduate student curriculum, and match the majority of faculty tenure requirements.However, preparation for the service requirement is often overlooked at both the graduatestudent and faculty level. While a small part of the overall tenure package, there is an unspokenpresumption that faculty members will be able to serve effectively and efficiently.

At each school, the course covers basic numericalmethods for differentiation, nonlinear equations, simultaneous linear equations, interpolation,regression, integration, and ordinary differential equations. The course is taken primarily bymechanical engineers at
