CollegeBackgroundThe learning objectives for the class are inspired by Myles Horton and bell hooks who- in theirexploration of democratic classrooms- said that as educators and learners we seek to transformconsciousness, to learn ways of knowing that enable us to know ourselves better and live in the worldmore fully [1, 2]. This paper follows on the author’s previous work [3], which argues for therepoliticization of engineering knowledge through curricular interventions for a more liberatoryengineering education. Interdisciplinary and context-rich approaches have been shown to elicit deeperlearning in general [4], and to engage marginalized students more effectively [5]. One of Horton’stheories is that learning takes place through cycles of reflection and

Today’s students have access to a plethoraof digital information and are quickly adapting to new technologies. Addressing the continuingchallenges in maintaining students’ motivation and success requires new approaches to teachingintroductory topics in engineering courses. In typical engineering class, traditional teachingapproaches, such as chalkboard talks and PowerPoint presentations are often utilized, this oftenpresents the issue of unidirectional communication and passive learning. While students haveaccess to many online education resources such as YouTube and

safety topics. Within our curriculum, we havenoticed a gap in safety thinking when going on site tours, as well as, a general safe mindset culture. It seemsthat students tend to not review pre-selected safety briefs, safety warnings, or even boiler plate safetystatements on syllabi. Over the last four years several faculty members adopted a more upfront and proactive teachingmoment to address these concerns by emphasizing the importance of safety, in every class and meeting,through a Safety Moment. To date, we have implemented safety moments in five different classes withinArchitectural Engineering (AE), from our second-year introductory courses, to a third-year construction course,a fourth-year discipline specific design course, and a

In addition to mentoring typically over 200 students every semester on many of the projects listed above, David has taught courses such as Model-Based Systems Engineering, Engineering Project Leadership, and Creativity in Engineering. Through the Cornell Cup, David has also developed in conjunction with the Cornell team’s students, a series of systems engineering professional design guides that target identified nationwide curriculum gaps. Utilizing this work in particular, students have earned such recognitions as being the 1st American
