Union Collegedeveloped what it called “Converging Technologies” (CT) as a framework to a new vision inengineering education. It is a vision that “will bring biology, chemistry, physics, and ethicstogether with computer science, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering.” The fourmajor areas where the Engineering Division at Union College is focusing its efforts areBioengieering, Nantotechnology, Mechatronics, and Pervasive Computing.

a comprehensive list of courseassignments with due dates. Decide when exams will be given, when homework assignments willbe due, and when special projects or papers will be turned in. Consider your own schedule as youare setting up the semester calendar. For example, you might want to schedule exams for each ofyour classes in different weeks, so that the grading task will be spread out. Also, you might wantto assign shorter homework sets with greater frequency to allow your preparation and gradingtime to be more evenly distributed throughout the semester. In addition to establishing thetimeline, determine what types of assignments will provide the best aids to learning. Werecommend including a writing/presentation component to every course

Makerspaces giveparticipants a sense of ownership over their intellectual property, specifically because they areable to make their ideas into tangibles. This enables students who engage in makerspaces anopportunity to validate their ideas since they are able to physically see them as well as differentproblems that arise in the design process.Real World Applications of Engineering ProcessIn engineering courses, many of the lecture format classes
practices that work to downplay, obfuscate, or dismiss entirely the influence of socialand structural factors that reproduce educational disparities among historically marginalizedgroups in engineering and further drive them away from the field [4], [5], [13]. The broadersocietal implication of this problem is that it limits the diversity of perspectives that practiceengineering, which perpetuates the development of the unjust and inequitable distribution oftechnological consequences. We see this, for example, in the pervasiveness of algorithmic bias,infrastructure projects that harm minority communities, and a lack of (or undone) technologiesthat could benefit women and people of color [14], [15].

Constructive learning goes beyond learning byreceiving knowledge, to learning by building systems, with immediate, visual feedback.Collaborative learning encourages students to interact with instructors and librarians via livelinks and remote-controlled “show me” sessions and by reviewing multimedia FAQs of recorded“show me” sessions.
