, based on advanced global approaches. The course discusses thefactors and elements shaping cities over time, including historical and contemporary issues. Alsopresented are a variety of solutions in urban environments from around the globe.Module 5: Building Energy PerformanceSince the rapid development of computational modelling, it is possible to evaluate the behaviorof highly complex systems such as the energy performance of buildings, neighborhoods, andcities. The course will teach students the fundamentals of climate and microclimate impacts,building physics, basic HVAC systems, and urban climatology such as the heat island effect andits influence on and the building stock. These fundamentals will help students to learn to evaluatethe

stand-alone EC course.This trajectory is set to change rapidly with the rise of interdisciplinary, remote engineeringteams, increasingly visually-focused publication modes [25], and ChatGPT [26] and other AI-powered writing tools. It is beyond the scope of this paper to detail communication-supportingapproaches to integrating AI- and non-AI-powered tools in the EC course context [27]; however,selected emerging apps show clear promise for students for visual and presentation contexts(Tome.ai, Orai) [28-29] and written contexts (WordTune, ChatGPT) [30].The New EC CurriculumIdeally introduced in the second year of engineering curricula, an EC course is able to scaffoldand develop authentic communicative capacity grounded in students’ interests and

in them, howSTEM teachers perceive their involvement, and what level of support is appropriate.Educators are also concerned that DEI work is disproportionately shouldered byunderrepresented racial and ethnic groups, which exacerbates what is known as the minoritytax [15]. It is important to acknowledge that while there are some teacher developmentinitiatives in DEI, they may not be adequate and may not address all of the fundamental needsof the environment. A DEI Model of Faculty Development in Engineering is shown in Figure1. Figure 1. DEI Model of Faculty Development in Engineering Edited figure for reference [14].The implications of all the above lead us to the urgent need for faculty development programsand initiatives on issues of

To model andsolve this problem, students would need to consider the characteristics of the geographical area,the resources of the local agency or government, and the behavior of the population. Aftersolving their problem, students will submit critical reflections.2.2. Multinational Student Design TeamsECE/MEE431L is the first of two multidisciplinary senior design/capstone classes. Participantsare computer, electrical or mechanical engineering students and are in either their late junior yearor early senior year. The focus of the course is the application of engineering fundamentals tosponsored multidisciplinary team design projects. In a combination of lecture and

begins by introducing the power of a positive mindset. Our intention is toenhance students’ global engagement experience by providing a framework that encouragestaking chances, personal and professional exploration, and growth. Second, we introduce theconcept of cultural humility to prepare students to succeed in adapting to a new cultural andsocial environment. This includes fundamental lessons about the host country’s history, culture,and contemporary social issues. Additionally, students engage in reflective exercises to exploretheir perceptions of culture and ethics. Third, the UN (United Nations) Goals for SustainableDevelopment are introduced. Students are asked to examine contemporary issues of sustainabledevelopment in their home

that. So that's an extra burden. To me personally, teaching a community engagement, service-learning course is already much more burdensome than teaching a regular class. … A community engagement [course requires] all the prep work that you have to do with your partners to get them ready, get your students ready, and bring them together, and work out differences, and get them to work together for an extended period and actually have some meaningful impact. … I had some times in my annual performance reviews where [they said] ‘this is good service. But how are you gonna improve on your research?’ And I was like, this is my research. I'm writing grants. I'm writing papers. I needed to educate my colleagues and supervisors that it's not

postcolonialism [23]–[25]. Yet, certain scholars argue that the decades haveonly created a pseudo/neocolonial era rather than a truly postcolonial era [26], [27]. Consequently,one of the fundamental concerns that has remained over time is the concept of ‘brain drain’ [28],a term used to describe the immigration of exceptionally bright minds to the Western world at theexpense of local development [29]. The concept has been used extensively, though not exclusively,to discuss geographical developmentalism as it relates to sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and the MiddleEast and North Africa (MENA) [30]. Critiques argue that historical colonial influences have left alegacy in many African countries, disguised in the form of global education, introduced throughwestern
