frompartnering community colleges. IRE grew out of a need to train engineers in the iron range ofnorthern Minnesota. Physically located at the Mesabi Range Technical and Community Collegein 2010, it was designed to meet the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technologycriteria1 with a project-based curriculum (PBL)30. The core philosophy and curriculum wasreplicated at TCE in 2013 with two full-time faculty, a part-time industrial relations coordinatorwho also serves as adjunct faculty, and a technical writing graduate assistant. Additionally, theprogram uses industry mentors to support students as they work toward completing theirprojects.TCE students are required to complete four semester-long design projects before graduation.Each of the four

The highwayengineering project involved the design of a two-lane highway using CIVIL 3D, software thatstudents were not very familiar with.

Other researchers and educators have previously suggested that underrepresentation can beaddressed by re-evaluation of the “values and standards of science and science education”16 andthe development of a more gender-inclusive science and science education. Riley, et al (2009)call for the integration of “some classic themes of feminism [into engineering education andpractice] — asking who benefits and who is harmed, critically examining assumptions andpresumptions that create injustice, and creatively and energetically working for our dreams ofwhat could be” to produce both more socially

In order to facilitate this, consider a modular course structure to allow for new anddifferent course materials to be piloted in one semester and, assuming successful piloting,delivered to all sections of the course in the next semester. Pilot this new material in an “off”semester if possible.GTAs often have fresh, contemporary ideas for course material. Encourage GTAs (individuallyor in teams) to explore innovative curriculum development ideas and to develop a workshop oractivity for the course.

In2005, the second semester course was reformulated into two tracks. One track focuses onintroductory design related needs for students bound for electrical and computer engineering aswell as computer science. The other track covers introductory design related skills required forremaining nine engineering departments at Virginia Tech.Prior to spring 2005, the two introductory-level engineering
