The RED grant PI was instrumental in establishing asustainable plan for having diversity and inclusion be a permanent staple at Rowan University. Itis now required for faculty to focus some aspect of their curriculum on these concepts forpromotion and tenure. To assist faculty across the college of engineering, the RED research teamwill set up a series of workshops in the final year to get faculty members outside of the CEEdepartment to change their approach to making their courses more inclusive. The workshops willfocus on introducing the concepts of inclusive pedagogy and present faculty with methods toengage students. Examples developed by the CEE

collaborative or team work. Students rarely challenge the integrity ofinstruction by the instructors leading to the lack of interactive relations vital to creativity andinnovation. The curriculum is highly structured and there is little room to take liberal arts orinterdisciplinary courses to broaden their education. Not enough emphasis is placed onprofessional competencies which are important for today’s engineers competing in a globalmarket. Accreditation as a relatively new phenomenon in the developing countries face thechallenge of ensuring quality based on standards while also facilitating innovations in education.There is a lack of resources for upgrading laboratories, shortage of trained teachers to teacheffectively and make the course
necessities of engineering developments. As a teacher, to teach smarter is a huge drive for developing lesson plans. By being able to incorporate more than one subject and a variety of TEKS objectives into one lesson, it makes the teacher’s job so much easier and allows more time to cover those areas needing more direct instruction. One of the largest sellers for teachers is that an engineering based curriculum is not pre-programmed. Like the students, we can add our own creativity and teaching styles into the lessons. It also keeps us more motivated. We have to be engaged in the planning of the lesson in order for it to be successful. The activities and lessons are not just written out to be

This process has been ongoing for the last year and found it to be time intensive. However, once an instructor has completed the process, the course is easy to maintain and improve.

The combined course attempts to build on the synergy inherent in thematerial/processing/property relationship. The laboratory portion of the course builds studentinput into the actual running of experiments. While fewer experiments may be run, the hope isthat more learning will take place as the student see the connection between their choices andtheir results. Page 6.990.5“Proceedings of the

underlying goal of this work is to combine thetraditional knowledge-based curriculum with skills-based experiences to broaden students’horizons, while helping them develop transferable knowledge and skills. Skills-based learningalso opens up opportunities for hands-on learning in which experimentation plays a key role –also known as Experiment Centric Pedagogy. This is based on the idea that engineeringeducation should have plenty of activities that enable students to act like engineers.IntroductionEmerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Augmentedand Virtual Reality (AR and VR), and Autonomous Vehicles, among many others, haveincreased the global demand for skilled workers [1].
