These modules were pilotedduring the 2017-18 academic year, and were added to the regular EF catalog in the fall of 2018.The DEF also pursued longer term (3-5 year) plans to develop new curriculum. The goal is tocreate a flexible suite of materials that can be adapted to different audiences, including students,academics, and engineering professionals. To this end, Tau Beta Pi partnered with MichiganState University and other regional and national training organizations to submit a proposal tothe National Science Foundation to develop professional skills training

In the new class, departments were not included for in-class presentations but each heldseveral out of class sessions designed to give students having interest in that department morein depth information and an opportunity to tour facilities, talk with faculty, graduate students,and undergraduates in the department.

An effective way to avoid this issue is to ensure that there is an appropriate amount ofsignage and accessible instruction for new attendees. This can be accomplished by way ofposters on the wall, standard operating procedures, and equipment instructions or informationavailable online or in the makerspace.

Those with a growth mindset are resilient, responding positively and productively in theface of challenge and failure.

As aresult, the FC initiated a study of the processes of curricular change as they occurredacross the six member institutions.
