Over the last two decades, a consensus has been reached that the major developmentalchallenges can only be addressed by interdisciplinary cooperation and new approaches to riskassessment and management [6

Undergraduate Research: Undergraduate research has been consideredimportant for retention and for graduating productive engineers. A study byZydney, et al. [6] reported that undergraduates who work with a faculty memberin research are more likely to continue to graduate school as well as have betterABET “soft skills.” The same group completed a follow on study [7] of facultyperceptions concerning undergraduate research and found that faculty were ableto mentor students to deeper understanding of

Based on our work with RED teams, we recommend that the project team revisit theproject’s vision (often a part of the original NSF proposal) and facilitate a conversation thatencourages all team members and the new leadership to share their thoughts, ideas, and perspectiveson the change initiative. Having a unified voice will help rally the team and provide a sense ofmission for the team to follow. This is reflected in the quote from a RED team member below: When the [RED] proposal was funded, I had already stepped down from my leadership position… We had new faculty, new leadership, and that really forced us to sit back and think about what we wanted to do now that all the players

He wants to secure the opportunity to consult with astart-up company, and he wants to impress the company’s CEO by finding a lower price on chipmanufacturing. This situation also involves personal relationships, which may come under strainbecause of the initiative that the entrepreneurial engineer has undertaken in his quest to savemoney for the start-up.

One main premisewas not to teach the topics overtly, but rather raise DEI issues via activities. These in and out ofclass learning activities included things like role playing, self-assessments, case studies andimpromptu polls.From the teaching perspective, preliminary results show that students are aware of issues relatedto DEI, however, it is unclear whether or not there was an increase in student comprehension ofits implications and the need for taking a more holistic approach to engineering. What didbecome apparent however, was the need for an increase in faculty training, a general awarenessand acceptance of the validity

This paper focuses on a new design course forsecond year students admitted to Mechanical Engineering.
