Conforming a New Manufacturing Engineering Curriculum to the SME Four PillarsAbstractThis paper will highlight the challenges in developing a manufacturing engineering curriculumthat conforms to the SME four pillars based on the experiences of the Engineering and Design(ENGD) department at Western Washington University (WWU). These experiences are uniquein a number of ways. Foremost, this program was created by transitioning an existingManufacturing Engineering Technology (MET) program that included an option in CAD/CAM.As a result, the new program was designed to incorporate the strengths of this long establishedtechnology program. One of these is hands-on intensive lab experiences within courses thatrequire students to

to technology-richenvironments like makerspaces for traditionally underserved youth in engineering. Several pro-Makerspace actors purport that having experiences in such open-ended project-based settings canencourage engagement with engineering. However, as we know from prior work in the area,simply providing access to technology-rich spaces does not allow underserved youth to feelownership and belonging in both makerspaces and engineering environments. Additionally,formal and informal engineering education experiences do not center on preventing harm tocommunities and the environment in engineering work. Not only do future generations ofengineers need to reduce the harm caused by engineering and technology proactively, but harmreduction

highereducation settings, particularly for disabled students, who are often forgotten or less emphasizedin DEI efforts. In some disciplinary areas, such as in science, technology, engineering, and math(STEM) fields, disabled students are more likely to experience discrimination due to a reportedlymore competitive and less flexible and supportive environment. Academic librarians and othereducators can make a difference for these students by contributing to a more inclusive campusenvironment for disabled people in STEM by implementing universally accessible and inclusivepedagogy, resources, services, and spaces. Such efforts are more effective when they incorporatea disability justice perspective, which provides an intersectional framework to understand

education became a scientific inquiry in theU.S. between 1890 to 1910 with the goal to innovate curricular design as well as pedagogicalpractices. Engineering education as a discipline and research field aims to assist students by a)providing evidence-based practices to instructors on engineering practices [2], b) ways toenhance students’ learning experiences [3]; [4], c) incorporating effective teachingmethodologies for students [5]; [6], d) integrating technology in the classroom [7]; [8]; [9], e)refining assessment methods [10], and f) enhancing curricula to meet the needs of students andimplementing strategies to better equip the next generation of engineers [7]; [11]; [12].Understanding engineering education from a historical perspective, it

We then utilizethe intersection of queer theory and video game studies to present how the understandingof failure can help us reshape how it is approached in engineering. Finally, to illustrate theuse of these ideas, we present two theoretical examples of how failure can be enacted in theclassroom for a better understanding of engineering ethics.II.
