The department recentlymade significant changes to the undergraduate curriculum with support from a grant from theNational Science Foundation’s Revolutionizing Engineering Departments (RED) program. Thevision of the this ECE RED project was to transform the program so that it would attract a morediverse group of students and prepare them for a broader range of careers than the department’sprevious program had done. In the previous program, once a student chose between the electricalengineering (EE) or computer engineering (CPE) degree, they had a fixed set of courses to takewith no choices

he can remember, Alberto was always interested in STEM. He mentioned that hewas the kid that would go around the neighborhood and help with the computers and fix theirproblems even though it was simple tasks in his opinion (like turning off the Wi-Fi and turning itback on). He became interested in engineering through the STEM courses he took in high school,then the coursework and salary for the profession motivated him to pursue an engineeringdegree. Since enrolling at FIU, Alberto says he has experienced an environment of toxicmasculinity: Since STEM is such a male-dominated career, it does have a lot of toxic masculinity and I've noticed that throughout my years at FIU. I've had to, more or less, hide my identity

While legitimate power maybe used appropriately or without causing undue negative effects on less powerful groups, that isnot always the case, and research from students suggested some stakeholders with legitimatepower took actions or made decisions that negatively affected other stakeholders. For instance,the student investigating lead paint on the East Side of Buffalo noted property owners haveignored or found ways to evade laws to address lead paint, leaving this area, which ispredominantly a community of color, with unsafe living conditions.

Additionally,design thinking enhances students' collaboration and communication skills, while scholars havedemonstrated that it can improve engineering students' leadership, algorithmic thinking,entrepreneurial, critical thinking, creativity, and innovation culture [103

As one business faculty said when asked about tests, papers, or otherprojects in their course, “No tests, but yes, definitely papers [but] not the traditional collegeessays.” They go on to say their students create materials for the course, ones that simulatematerials they might make in a future career such as persuasive memos, informative pamphlets,etc. Another business faculty member spoke about working

Becauseacquiring both theoretical and practical knowledge is important for students’ learning in highereducation [52, 53], instructors can use real world problems to convey their usefulness to theindustry or may want to revisit the role of these courses in the sequence. Not only did students discuss how theoretical courses like Automata Theory andAssembly Programming were irrelevant to their future career goals, but they also found thecourse topics difficult. In order to enhance students’ learning, instructors can require prerequisitecourses and explore ways to teach courses more effectively. For example, in Automata Theory,prior work has found that visualization

I found the readings and class-wide discussions to be very helpful in reinforcing the ideas we were learning and lookingat case studies within the LEGO group allowed me to see how these concepts were usedin real-world applications, and how I can apply them myself.I found it especially interesting to learn about LEGO’s growth and development as acompany over many years.
