This paperpresents an overview of the implementation of a new framework for inclusive, strengths-basedcourse design standards that were developed by engineering faculty along with experts incurriculum and instruction.Traditionally, universal design standards emphasize aligning course objectives, learningexperiences and assessments, explaining course information clearly, and using varied andaccessible instructional materials. These universal design standards are adequate to providecourses that are accessible to all learners. However, to provide inclusive courses forneurodivergent students, additional standards are necessary to ensure that students can identifyand use their

Furthermore, recent work on engineering and technology students'perceptions of using new technology suggests an over-focus on technical aspects within thoseprograms, to the detriment of social implications [2].Considering the societal impact of the built environment on the population, this lag seemsunjustified and concerning. Furthermore, history has several examples that indicate the effect ofpoorly functioning construction and infrastructure on the deployment of unsatisfactory servicelevels, high operation and maintenance costs, and unjustified

Recent hires (8 in total) have shifted the faculty mix to one that is now predominantly Ph.D. qualified. However, most have some industrial experience, and all have backgrounds that will help in promoting these core values and mission of the department. The old technology programs were effective in their hands-on approach in large part because of a collegial and collaborative environment that existed between faculty and the department’s highly trained technical staff. This was to be maintained in the new programs. The concerns of staff and their role in supporting the new programs was thus a

They are individual human beings, and the primary concern of the schools should not be with the living they will earn but with the life they will lead” [1].Universities have traditionally been viewed as places which allow students to broaden theirminds, the Latin ‘universus’ meaning ‘the whole, aggregate’.

Education”Each year, Vermont Tech hosts two graduations, the traditional graduation day in May, and thePractical Nurse graduation day in June. During these events, most of the campus academicbuildings are locked. This seems to be one of those classical CQI issues: "Why have you beendoing it this way?" With the Recruiting CQI team taking a fresh look at how graduation isconducted, the team put forth recommendations to make graduation day more of an open houseevent with displays and demonstrations in the academic labs. With graduation day possiblybeing the last day students spend on campus, an open campus provides for a much morememorable impression for new graduates, their parents, family, and friends.

This is reflected in a difference between professors and students who approach knowledge in very different ways. Faculty members may be described as hunters who search for and generate knowledge to answer their questions. Digital natives by contrast are gatherers, who wade through a sea of data available to them in the disciplines, focusing on breadth versus depth of knowledge.

Quiz grading is also as consistent as we can make it. We start with simple grade standards(A: 91-100; B: 81-90; C: 71-80; D: 61-70) and then, if necessary, adjust the ranges down slightly(e.g. use 11 points per grade rather than 10). We do this to correct for any unanticipatedproblems with issues like the wording of questions and use the grades from previous terms as aguide.

Very similarly,collective actions and decisions are critical, but can only develop from truly collective dialog.In doing so, a chair should not attempt to ‘homogenize’ the members, but rather assemble aneffective mix of skills and expertise, which can contribute to the collective dialog in majorways. Rewarding faculty collectively may seem inappropriate or at times counter to ourindividual senses; however, it simply displays collective ‘attention’.In a typical engineering department, faculty members are most concerned with their owncourses and projects. Therefore, the chair must be able to provide an atmosphere wherefaculty sees their individual goals reached through meeting departmental goals. As
