These specialized programs provide students witha combination of engineering theory and application-based instruction to prepare graduates forcareers in industry [1]. The department also offers a variety of minors from which students maychoose to enhance their academic careers. After years of

Usually, in thiscourse the labs this large are not a big problem as the class is taught using project based learningwhere the students worked on teams to produce a underwater autonomous vehicle. However,three times during the semester the labs met in the computer lab. Below is a mostly true story Iwrote about an event that occurred during one of the computer lab activities. Moises is respectful of authority. He listens and tries to disappear into the crowd. This has worked for him his entire academic career. He is smart and resourceful. He does his work quickly which helps so much. Of course, the speed causes errors, but in general he has achieved high marks. The lab today is in the computer

First, in anindependent study, the student usually initiates the creation of the project to explore a topic ofmutual interest with a faculty member. At smaller teaching-focused institutions, many advancedtechnical topics in a student’s major are not covered in-depth and some students would like moreexperience in a particular area out of pure interest or to prepare themselves for a future career inthat field.

This paper addresses the first steps for the following research questions:• Does a design systems thinking approach create a responsive model for a community-driven faculty development program? Does this model adapt to community needs and individual faculty career needs?• Will a design systems thinking approach support the community development of a sustainable model for faculty development that thrives outside of the funding organization?This project is ongoing
