Automation requirestraining in mechatronics, which integrates mechanical and electrical systems to developautomated systems that are controlled with programming. Mechatronics is the foundation ofautomated systems and has become not only a need to shorten the current manufacturing skillsgap [2], but also serves as a platform to provide STEM education. Mechatronics is an important area of study for several STEM related fields, butspecifically for the applied ones such as Engineering Technology (ET). ET as a discipline hasexisted

IntroductionThe last decade has seen an increase in the open education movement including opencourseware, open textbooks, and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC). The main focus of thismovement is on broadening access to information through the use of open and free content. Blissand Smith [1] explain the usefulness of this movement: “The implicit goal was to equalize accessto disadvantaged and advantaged peoples of the world – in MIT’s language, to create ‘a sharedintellectual Commons’.” This open movement and its ethos have been something of an antidoteto the disproportionate inflation of textbook costs over the past two decades [2], with the averageexpense for books and supplies estimated at $1,240 per year

Integration of CAD, FEA, and CFD as separate courses in undergraduate curricula or as partof fundamental core courses (e.g. fluid mechanics, solid mechanics) is commonly known [1-3].Especially CAD is widely accepted as a core course in many undergraduate engineeringcurricula. On the other hand, FEA and CFD are offered either as electives or as a component ofother common courses such as fluid mechanics and solid mechanics, to expose students to suchtools and software early on. However, integration of design and engineering analysis techniquesunder one core course is not a common approach, especially at the undergraduate

Although the universities are in the same system, the tuition and fees at Cal State LA are $6750/yrwhile at Cal Poly tuition and fees is $9950/yr. The higher fees provide Cal Poly with more resources that can be used inmany ways to support students. An indication of the resource imbalance can be seen in the tenure/tenure-track faculty tostudent ratio in the engineering colleges: Cal State LA is 59:1 and Cal Poly is 45:1. These differences allow us to comparethe responses of employees and students at the two universities with a diversity and equity lens. Cal State LA is classified asa Hispanic Serving Institutions

These themes include afocus on the supply side focus, linearity, homogenization of people, view of people as passive, andothers. In her

Thus, the real-world problem space is uncertain andambiguous. Schrader, Riggs and Williams [1] capture the progression of complexity of theproblem space by differentiating between ‘uncertainty’ and ‘ambiguity’ in context of problemsolving as follows:“Uncertainty: Characteristic of a situation in which the problem solver considers the structure ofthe problem (including the set of relevant variables) as given, but is dissatisfied with his or herknowledge of the value of these variables.Ambiguity level 1: Characteristic of a situation in which the

The SJ principles ofequity, access, participation, and rights are relevant to both engineered works and theengineering education process itself. The 2017 update to the American Society of CivilEngineers (ASCE) Code of Ethics added a requirement for engineers to “treat all persons fairlyand encourage equitable participation.” [2] While there have been strong proponents for theintegration of SJ into engineering education, e.g. [3-11], it is unclear whether or not these effortsare common.

The data shown within this presentation werecollected as part of a larger NSF-funded study qualitatively assessing themanifestation of racism within the technology industry.From literature, we know that Black engineers leave their workplaces at a higher ratethan White engineers. This is largely due to the toxic workplace environments definedby White men that are unwelcoming for minoritized people [1], [2].
