As tech companies continue toengage in relationships with more diverse clients and partners, cultural sensitivity and culturalcompetency become increasingly important. Additionally, it is important to ensure thatupper-level managerial positions reflect the diversity that companies hope to achieve. In one casestudy, an unnamed SV company sought to employ a URM woman in their CFO positionspecifically to foster relationships with clients and partners from diverse background and to serveas a role model for women in the

The results confirm that the majority of thestudents were active, sensing, visual and sequential learners. These characteristics are ideal forthe use of cases and hands-on interactive instruction. Overall, the students found the use of casesmore engaging and the cases elevated their interest in laboratory discussions and course content.External evaluation of the student reports suggest that the use of cases did not significantlyimprove the quality of the student laboratory reports, however, student interpretation andanalysis of data slightly improved.     Purpose of Study Laboratory courses

Starting with a simple binary question - yes or no - they move to a planarassessment - and finally to a comparative exercise as complications are introduced into theartifact set. Analyzing their pre and post-activity definitions and student reflections on theactivity allows us to explore the impact of the exercise on the students’ understanding of andengagement with the concept of “engineering design.”1.

Our taxonomy contained six broad categories: the design process, motivationfor the design, interpersonal skills, technical skills, societal concerns, and marketing. Wethen applied our benchmarks to the maps of 32 undergraduates enrolled in a two-semestersenior biodesign course. Students constructed maps
