Numerous prototypesand services directly resulted from the creative work of DHH students which was thoroughlyvetted by subject matter experts, many of whom are DHH. Selected projects are listed below. • Real-Time Translation Service: The R&D center has been conducting a pilot program with Microsoft Translator, an automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology, in several classes.

Diallo talked about how he came to perceive certainprofessors as mentors by observing them in class and desiring to emulate their work ethic: I found some professors just standing out. They are mentors in the sense that I looked up to them, I admire their style, and I tried to replicate some of the way they operate, and you know, they are like the benchmark standard, so to that respect, they are mentors.Sabir thought of his professor as having been a mentor in terms of the guidance and professionalsupport she provided by writing

In the field of pharmacy, APCE accredi-tation [25] in the United States contains a standard for Personal and Professional Developmentwhich consists of the following: self-awareness, leadership, innovation and entrepreneurship, andprofessionalism.In the context of engineering education and accreditation, it does not appear that dispositions areexplicitly considered in the learning outcomes. In the US and several other countries, ABET [26]accredits engineering programs using several criteria. One of them is student outcomes, i.e., “whatstudents should know and be able to do by the time of graduation” [27]. The outcomes are thusrelated to a mix of the skills, knowledge, and behaviors that students acquire in their program, forexample, “Student

More than developingproducts, the program desires to develop business opportunities that will lead tolocal economic development. To implement these projects, the followingchallenges had to be overcome: 1. A stream of innovative product ideas had to be generated and sustained. 2. Since the products are innovative, the program had to be able to deal with the partial success of a product prototype or concept. 3. The interdisciplinary nature of product development had to be replicated in the functionally divided university setting which contained significant opposition to classes that integrated different

American universities, for example, are excellent references in investmentsin the education of their engineering courses, as well as in modern teaching and adequateinfrastructure [2].Considered by different authors as one of the best ways for students to acquire complete andrealistic knowledge, active learning is another way of teaching. This approach is student-centered, ensuring that professors are professionals who guide students in this process [3],[4]. The involvement of the whole class increases from active learning strategies, making itpossible to develop an opportunity to reflect on learning in a set of solutions to real problems[5].The different active learning strategies also guarantee the development of professional skillsthat students

This paper proposes a classificationsystem for higher education makerspaces and applies the proposed classifications to existing spaces. Theclassification system indicates the purpose of the space and includes indices for the space’s accessibility,population, size, and staffing. While noting that interpretation differences can result from system-widegeneralizations, the concepts of categories and classes are routinely applied in nearly all fields toassimilate data and make comparisons. The higher education makerspace community is now largeenough to benefit from an enterprise-wide classification system. It is suggested that such a classificationsystem will be helpful to improve current
