individuals with a broad range of abilities. IncorporatingUD, disability, and accessibility concepts into engineering courses is important in order toprepare tomorrow’s engineers to take into consideration the needs of a diverse set of users.Additionally, including these topics can serve to increase the participation of students withdisabilities and other underrepresented groups in the engineering classroom [2].The importance of preparing students to engage in UD and consider accessibility in their designwork is gaining recognition. Efforts to incorporate UD into engineering education includeengineering design and laboratory projects [3,4]. Many engineering programs offer designcourses focused on assistive technology, providing a clear opportunity

So, if the Mount Graham LargeTelescope project is renamed, or redefined not as university collaboration for spaceobservation, but as a community based education facility, or a religious temple for spaceexploration, or a wilderness space center, or a human-heaven connector, then the possibleways of perceiving the project also change.

dominate most curriculums. However, with Internetand ultra high-speed communication and with the world so interconnected, we believe it is timeto change that thinking. That is why we at WPI have been focusing on global and oninterdisciplinary project based learning.In a recent article in The New York Times, it was stated "The world has been utterly transformedin recent years, globalization is sweeping old models aside, technology is bringing U.S. togetherfaster and more furiously than ever before…"1The old thinking used to be that universities should be teaching the fundamentals and thatindustry would teach the applications. The problem with that model is that industry no longerhas the time to teach the applications and expects when our students
pre-requisite graderequirements [30] may contribute to students’ judgements of the relative prestige of civilengineering compared to other engineering majors.In summary, depending on where prospective students get their information about civil andmechanical engineering, misperceptions might be an impediment to recruiting students to civilengineering.

ideology of depoliticization, informsstudents’ learning and work in engineering.Understanding how the ideology of depoliticization shapes engineering education and, byextension, engineers in their professional practices, is of critical concern for at least two reasons.First, existing research suggests the ability for students to critically examine the role their workplays in society is a pressing need, as it both supports students’ learning as well as bolsters theirability to participate in society as engaged citizens [3-4]. Second, recent national attention on theways emerging technology differently impacts marginalized groups has made clear that theremoval of social, political, economic, and cultural issues has had deleterious effects on the

With today’s technological advances,designing a laboratory course that addresses all of these constraints is more feasible than ever.However, many existing laboratory courses and off the shelf modules violate one or more ofthese constraints, and therefore fail to deliver an optimal lab experience.There are two opposing routes to take when designing an undergraduate controls laboratory: usecommercial off the shelf (COTS) hardware and accompanying software, or design the hardwareand use or design open source software.
