, and vice versa. Given the need to better support engineering GSs inobtaining a graduate education that will serve them in a variety of careers as well as to supportthem in feeling as though they belong and can persist in their chosen field, we see GIFT as beinga promising model to be implemented in conjunction with engineering graduate programs.Importantly, this is a model that is transferable to any engineering and/or STEM graduateprogram, does not place a huge burden on GSs in terms of coursework, and does not requiregrant money or university appropriations to run successfully.AcknowledgementsFunding for this work comes from NSF Award #1806698.References[1] S.

Most ofthe chicken farms were usually owned and operated by families and had no automation.Very few sold poultry products. Chickens were used for the same purpose as they arenow which includes meat, eggs, and money. Most chicken or poultry farms today areowned and operated by companies and machines perform several tasks on the chickenfarms since production is large scale.

continuous assessment of the program outcomes. One of thebiggest obstacles in assessment is the inability to engage students in the awareness of programoutcomes and their importance in the curriculum. Many students see them as overly generalizedstatements that have no bearing on the concepts they need to pass a given course. Thus,dissemination of the notion and value of program outcomes is a major challenge for the faculty.Examples of freshman class assignments and projects that address specific program outcomes ina mechanical engineering department are presented.

When I first attended the university to learnengineering, I was full of the messages of the 1970’s: Women can do anything men can do(better), I can have it all, the doors to access professional success are wide open. However, littledid I know that while this may be true, the cost to anyone not a tall white male from a privilegedbackground was great. It took me years to interpret what I experienced through the lens of thewhite patriarchy, but for the last 20 years, I have studied and reflected on how we in Engineeringand Education have participated in the inequities we see all around us
