Paper ID #41324Professional Skills to Support Interdisciplinary Work: Lessons Learned froma Successful Collaboration between Universities, Training Programs, and ProfessionalSocietiesDr. Katy Luchini-Colbry, Michigan State University Katy Luchini-Colbry is the Assistant Dean for Graduate Student Services at the College of Engineering at Michigan State University, where she completed degrees in political theory and computer science. A recipient of a NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, she earned Ph.D. and M.S.E. in computer science and engineering from the University of Michigan. She has published dozens of peer-reviewed works
underway, and both the students and faculty mentors have been involved inbrainstorming relevant ideas on making sustainable robotic agriculture accessible.By integrating social justice, diversity, and accessibility into learning outcomes, STEM studentscan develop a more holistic understanding of sustainable robotic agriculture and its implicationsfor society, while also gaining practical skills and knowledge that can contribute to positive socialchange.4.0 ConclusionsRobotic agriculture can contribute to environmental sustainability by optimizing resource use,reducing chemical inputs, and minimizing waste through precision farming techniques. It maywiden the economic gap between large-scale commercial farms that can afford expensivetechnology and

to come together and chat with avery limited agenda. We host a coffee chat and a workshop or lightning talk each month of thesemester and a pre-semester work-in before each semester. The most common topics in theseevents are facilitating teamwork, improving inclusivity and belonging, preparing instructionalstaff, and sharing lessons learned when the unexpected happens in a lab. In each section below,we summarize the key takeaways and helpful resources we have collected related to each ofthese four areas to share with other laboratory instructors.
