in Springfield Massachusetts. In the La Belle Group, we are currently developing electrochemical sensors for noninvasive glucose sensing, the novelty of our design is to obtain tear fluid for tear to blood glucose correlation in a noninvasive means to increase pa- tient compliance. The next leap in technology for diabetes care is a multiplexed sensor that will add more depth of information for a self-monitoring blood glucose devices, here five accepted markers for DM care and management, including glucose, HbA1c, among others are simultaneously monitored on a single strip sensor. This technology we are developing could also allow for continuous and single use stress/trauma sensing technologies. Other applications

As part of the EWBChallenge, the project group developed two fables with typical African characters.

Non–profitorganizations and companies have addressed this call to action by developing co–curricular andextra–curricular opportunities for students. Many targeted early learning stages, with thedevelopment of outreach activities, after–school programs, and summer camps, in an effort toincrease the post-secondary pipeline with prospective low-income and underrepresentedstudents. Some of these efforts have generated positive outcomes, including the implementationof CS curriculum. Several focused on creating spaces for underrepresented student populations,in an effort

The participants learn quicker from others, feel more confident,acquire more friends from different disciplines, and are more accepting of others different fromthemselves.14Multidisciplinary ProjectsThe ABET 2015 recent criteria review states that “every student should be prepared for enteringthe professional practice through a curriculum culminating in a major design experience basedon the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work and incorporating appropriateengineering standards and multiple realistic constraints.”15 A major design experience would belogically more fruitful if it is developed in a multidisciplinary environment
address the complex problems faced by civilization today. It requires looking atthe world’s problems in a more holistic way and being able to interact with a wide range oftechnical and non-technical stakeholders from various disciplines and walks-of-life, rather thanremaining in traditional silos of technical expertise and schools of thought. This newepistemology of engineering education also promotes reflective and adaptive practice, systemthinking, engagement, and fieldwork. Finally, it promotes a humanization of the engineeringprofession and emphasizes that engineering is above all - and has always been - about people.Analyzing the integrated nature of the SDGsIntegrating the SDGs in engineering education requires developing a curriculum with
acquisition methods in ourstudents are needed. This task of developing judgment is made more critical given the rapidadvance of computer-based design, where failure to recognize bad outputs due to errors burieddeep in the assumptions and inputs could have tragic consequences.In an effort to address this need, and as part of a thorough revision of the mechanics curriculum 1,a series of hands-on learning activities were designed and implemented in the first mechanicscourse taken by students in the Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering at the USMilitary Academy. These activities enabled and encouraged knowledge acquisition throughpersonal effort which inspires deeper inquiry and were expected to help accelerate thedevelopment of students
