The undertaking was distinctive in that it was an engineering projectconducted at a liberal arts college by undergraduate students enrolled in the college’sengineering program. A multidisciplinary research team was assembled, composed of studentsmajoring in civil, chemical and mechanical engineering.It should be emphasized that this seven-week program was designed to serve primarily as alearning experience for the student researchers

fromelite to universal higher education and knowledge growth have significantly increased the cost ofhigher education while federal, state, and corporate support has not adequately responded to thisworsening condition. The Neal Report10 documented a number of quality problems inundergraduate infrastructure, a funding focus on graduate education and research, and a low-level of support for initiatives by the National Science Foundation (NSF). In response, the NSFstarted funding research experiences for undergraduates and created recognition awards for theintegration of research and education.

Diversity ScholarshipAbstractRecently, white supremacists rebranded as the “alt-right” have waged a national media campaigntargeting critical education scholars, including STEM education diversity research and ourcommitments to equity, inclusion, and social justice. Many campuses have been besieged bywhite supremacist activity seeking to incite violence and attract media attention.In this climate, many of today’s students are encountering conversations around difference,power, and privilege amid a flurry of alt-right propaganda, exposed in a new way to overtlyracist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, or ableist ideas through newmedia. This is a high-stakes, low-safety environment for all learners, presenting

. • The result of a departmental initiative requiring staff to write Learning Objectives for each course highlighted the unfamiliarity and reluctance felt by many staff in engaging with the process of reframing their teaching in this way.It is suggested that a major contributing factor to each of these issues, is the lack ofunderstanding and acknowledgement by engineering academic staff of the usefulness ofeducational “tools” and theory linking, for example, Learning Objectives andAssessment.Nature of the problemIt is suggested that the over-arching problem that needs addressing is how to leadacademics in a research-led university to reflect on their teaching practice with the aid

After the unit, allstudents answered a 22-item engagement survey (α = .77) that asked about their perceptions ofand experiences in math (i.e. “Today I explained how I solve math problems to other kids”).Results of a factor analysis indicated the presence of 3 groups of items: Value in Math,Collaboration, and Enjoyment.

The collaborative effort is recognized for its benefits to students, participants, and the community at large served by the institution.Academia typically rewards those who consistently produce publications. However, networks ofpractice or interdisciplinary collaborations are many time longitudinal and require associatedtime and effort.
