includingthose already minoritized groups underrepresented in the major. When we began ourinvestigation, we started out with these questions: How can we cultivate a learning environmentwhere students practice what they’ve learned outside of class?; How can we legitimize andsupport practice institutionally in a way that students find valuable to their future careers?; Howcan we make these opportunities equitable, inclusive, and accessible to all students? Thisdocument outlines our 4-year startup program using a Communities of Practice program (CoPs)as a mechanism for engaging students in inclusive communities in which they can put theirknowledge to practice in the field of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS).One compelling reason to create
minority groups (URMs) to share their professional experiences in classes. 4. Facilitate computing experiences that deliberately build from course to course, by having instructors coordinate curriculum to have explicit linkage. 5. Encourage instructors to develop projects that are design- and team- based. Include training for instructors on DEI-related aspects, such as how to not strand URMs or women on teams, and deal with micro-aggressions between teammates. Year 2 (2024) Goals: 1. Create a system of incentives and assessments for introducing active learning, flipped classroom approaches, and continual improvement to pedagogy to realize our design-based learning aspirations. 2. Encourage a “See it, Be it” strategy

you choose to do?My interest in interdisciplinarity stems from my experiences as an undergraduate engineeringstudent. My senior capstone project involved working on an interdisc iplinary design projectfocused on designing and developing a vertical takeoff and lift system (VTOL). The problem wasdefined in the context of a 2040 urban rescue. There were four different disciplines involved—industrial and systems engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical and computer engineering,and aerospace engineering. Tensions arose throughout the project among the mechanical andaerospace engineers, including instances where I was left unsure of how I fit besides sharing myknowledge about anthropometric dimensions when designing with ergonomics in mind

codify what we know about open (source) design with a view to using thisknowledge to develop and evolve new courses and projects with these methods. We take opensource to be a transparent, collaborative process for developing public knowledge that is free atthe source, whether for a design or otherwise. The most well known examples are Linux andWikipedia, but there are many enterprises that qualify such as the Open Source Initiative, theElectronic Frontier Foundation, YouTube, Scribd, Creative Commons and Firefox. Here we willtell the story around the case of Linux.1The paper maps the philosophy and concepts of Open Design,2 linked historically to a distinctsocial philosophy frequently dubbed libertarian in the United States but which has equal

Similar to student learning communities that are present oncollege campuses, FLCs are designed as a multidisciplinary approach to increase outcomesrelated to “faculty retention, faster intellectual development, greater civic contributions, andmore active, learner-centered…approaches to teaching” (Cox, 2003, p. 162). FLCs contribute toa newcomer’s success at the university, and can be one way to manage the changing landscape ofacademia.

Other groups have endorsed ideasaround diversity, but not yet situated these responsibilities within their code of ethics (e.g. theNational Society of Professional Engineers, NSPE [21, 22]; American Society of MechanicalEngineers, ASME [23, 24]).If instructors wish to address issues of discrimination or diversity in their courses, there areteaching cases available. The ASCE cases related to discrimination in the workplace and amongfaculty [25-27] may serve as good teaching cases and/or discussion topics.

More recently,industry professionals, students, and faculty from various institutions participated in a March forScience on April 22, 2017 that pushed for “strengthening the bonds between scientists and thepublic, engaging in ongoing science education, fighting discrimination in our own institutionsand our communities, and insisting their legislators propose and enact evidence-based policies”(March for Science (n.d.) in Morgan, Davis & López, 2017, p. 108).

scores of study participants were significantly higher after a one semester, two-credit hour course in engineering ethics, although not P scores (Table 3). This indicates that,while the curriculum used in this study did not significantly increase the proportion ofpostconventional reasoning, it decreased the proportion of preconventional relative topostconventional reasoning. These results partially support hypothesis three.Table 3 Comparison of ESIT pre- and post-course means (standard errors) by samples (N)Borenstein et al. sample (319)[1] Current sample (28) P N2 P N2 Pre-course 0.505 (0.008) 2.972 (0.084) 0.499 (0.023

Biasing networks are critical for signal processing via BJT circuits, yetcoverage of such networks in physics and electrical engineering courses and texts is sparse andfrequently secondary to coverage of the amplifier circuits themselves.
