We believe that the emphasis on humanitarian engineering will prove to beparticularly effective in drawing women and minority students to engineering, andthereby promote campus diversity. We also expect it to be attractive to a broad spectrumof engineering students.We will focus on our existing strengths – in energy systems, geotechnical andgeoenvironmental engineering, remote sensing, signal processing, and image processing,and new technologies for “sustainable Engineering,” and in emerging engineering Page 8.647.1disciplines including, bioengineering, information systems, and micro-nano

looking at ways to increase diversity among science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM) faculty, little has been done to increase therepresentation of faculty with disabilities. Moreover, despite recent attention to increasing theparticipation of students with disabilities in STEM education, this work has rarely been extendedto include faculty with disabilities. This paper describes efforts taken by AccessADVANCE, apartnership between two institutions, to influence institutional change to increase theparticipation of women with disabilities among STEM faculty. Faculty and student successes areinterrelated; the goal of AccessADVANCE is to identify effective interventions for systematicallyaddressing issues impacting the career advancement and

This is reflected inthe Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology accreditation student outcome criteria3.5, which specifically highlights an ability to effectively function on teams. Engineeringeducation literature further demonstrates the importance and the responsibility of facultyinvolvement in the development of effective teamwork. To assess teamwork functionality,instructors can distribute a survey among teams for team members to provide feedback abouteach other.

The framework upon which the NGSSis based states, “Students should learn how science is used, in particular through theengineering design process, and they should come to appreciate the distinctions andrelationships between engineering, technology, and the applications of science”2.Science and engineering complement each other in many ways, but teach studentsdifferent, yet equally important, skill sets. “If the core of science is discovery, then theessence of engineering is creation”3.

IntroductionSome researchers have suggested that engineering education may be described as a “culture” inwhich knowledge, beliefs and practices are shared.1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Less attention has been paid to thenuances within engineering education, the variability in the degree to which members accept orshare a base of knowledge, beliefs and practices. Quantitative methods can be used to testwhether cultural constructs are shared among some engineering educators. One anthropologicalresearch method, “cultural consensus analysis,”6 measures the extent to which group membersagree or disagree about beliefs or practices.

The driving research questions guiding theinvestigation were: 1. How are students’ perceptions of their abilities shaped by learning engineering design with an information communication technology (ICT) component in an afterschool setting? 2. How are students’ attitudes toward engineering, science, and computer technologies impacted by the intervention? 3.

Design is itself a distinct discipline, with itsown methods of inquiry and body of literature, sometimes referred to as design science(Papalambros, 2015) or design studies (Cross, 1982). The practice and study of design isassociated with many fields, including engineering, architecture, information science, business,art, and more. In mechanical engineering, design is typically described as a methodologicalapproach that includes many different stages, tasks, and analytical decision-making processesthat assist design teams with the creation of functional products (Breiing, Engelman, &Gutowski, 2009). As such, preparing mechanical engineers with the necessary design knowledgeskills remains a central component
