The University expanded in 1998 to become a four-yearinstitution. This occasioned a major overhaul of the engineering curricula to include freshmanand sophomore-level courses.

Inspired by the 2006/2007 rapid adoption of podcasting forentertainment, news, and other non-academic purposes, the HED2.0 program sought: (i) tointegrate various social media tools into the fabric of engineering undergraduate classrooms, (ii)to evaluate the program using mixed methods and targeting various specific outcomes, and (iii)to develop best practices for deployment of social media tools in support of student learning.

However, little work hasbeen done to empirically investigate how engineering students use mathematics as they practiceengineering design.In addition to supporting the community’s beliefs about the importance of mathematics, anempirical investigation of engineering students’ use of mathematics can inform future decisionsabout how to best teach mathematics to engineering students. One issue to address here iswhether mathematics should be taught within an engineering-specific context or if generalmathematics courses sufficiently prepare engineering students. Some educators suggest that

My queer activism has taught me that even small shifts can make a life-or-deathdifference in the lives of individuals, and that a sea change can occur within institutionsthrough deliberate organizing. Even losses, though painful, are crucial catalysts andbuilders of sustaining community. As a department head in an engineering discipline, Ibenefit from the trappings of academic middle management.
