Session 3630 An Inclusive Engineering Curriculum: How to persuade and assist your colleagues to develop one Julie Mills, Mary Ayre University of South Australia / University of GlamorganAbstractEngineering faculty are urged to be ‘inclusive’ when teaching classes of diverse students. Aninclusive approach, it is argued, will not only assist the progress of those students from socialand cultural groups, which have not traditionally entered engineering, but it will also broaden theperspectives of all students and thus improve the overall quality of an engineering

What would happen if we leave things unsolved, undermining our ability to occupy this planet indefinitely? Engineers addressing challenges that sustain life on Earth led to the identification of several of the Grand Challenges. Among these issues related to clean water and solving the energy crisis.

The background andglobal objectives of the researchers were covered previously [1], but in summary, it was hopedthat some stimulating technology lessons provided during the career formative years of highschool might convince more students to select an agricultural vocation as being leading edge andworthy of consideration as a potential career option. The current employment plight withinagriculture is severe and contains a double-edged sword [2].

British Chemical Manufacturers reported half ofthem as saying that the quality of chemical engineers was not very satisfactory because theywere not able to write reports, lacked cost consciousness, and did not fit harmoniously into theworking environment. This was typical of comments to be made about university education inlater years (see below) [9].Many questions arise, among them is one that does not seem to have been investigated, that is:why were these industrialists not able to influence the college advisory boards or boards ofgovernors on which they sat? Why were not the colleges organized such that industrialists mighthave more direct influence on their work? Part of the problem was that there was a tradition thatthe work of the colleges

Specifically, knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis,and evaluation are the behaviors that are typically mastered sequentially due to the nature of theirincreasing difficulty. Bloom’s method allows the development and accurate measurement ofstudents’ learning progression through each level of behavior. As behavior at each level islearned sequentially, with each new step in the chain building on its predecessor, this approachallows the development of a deeper level of understanding and higher-order thinking.

The Fundamentals ofEngineering (FE) and Professional Engineer (PE) examinations represent a multi-disciplinarycertification, but our results demonstrate - as they have in the past- that these certifications arethe most important to CET graduates.
