potentially exposing them to high levels of airpollution, polluting their water sources, and making parts of the community unusable [2]. A1983 report stated that all six of the City of Huston’s garbage dumps were placed in Blackneighborhoods, though only 25% of the Huston population was Black at the time [2]. Anothermore famous example is the area of Louisiana known as Cancer Alley. The 85-mile area alongthe Mississippi River has a majority Black population and is home to 14 major manufacturers[3]. People in the area are frequently exposed to high levels of toxicity and are noted to have ashorter life expectancy, as many community members die younger from cancer [3]. These arejust two examples; this type of dumping occurs in neighborhoods of color
Orientation.Training Academies for Industry Skills - are conducted by industry professionals during theacademic year to train SPSD students in the skill sets that are currently in demand by industry, butmany times not taught in the classroom. For example: Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing andMicrostation. Industry partners such as Hamilton Sunstrand and CALTRANS provide this training tobetter qualify SPSD students for internships and employment opportunities.Job Shadow Day – allows students to shadow a professional engineer, scientist, or medicalprofessional in their field of interest. Students experience firsthand what a professional does in atypical work day. Participating companies include QUALCOMM, CALTRANS, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, SONY, Hamilton Sundstrand

potential current or future career choice.’Hulsey et al. (2006) have broken further down the second thrust above in terms of: 1. Integratingentrepreneurship within regular academic programs and curricula and, 2. Providing co-curricularand other activities and initiatives that support and develop the entrepreneurial interests ofstudents. Wilson et al. (2014) have coined the term ‘pracademic’ to highlight the importance ofthe integration of practical and academic components into entrepreneurship education.A number of studies and reports have focused on the key question of ‘What Does It Take ToBecome An ‘Entrepreneurial’ University or College?’ In their 2012 report, the EuropeanCommission proposed a list of seven (7) features that characterize
the other branches of STEM, engineering has traditionally been perceived asan objective, apolitical, and neutral discipline. Engineering has long been viewed as a technicalspace that is independent of social or cultural considerations and should remain devoid of suchmatters [7]. However, integrating more sociocultural dimensions into engineering requires asubstantive change in the undergraduate curriculum, which is currently heavily dominated bytechnical knowledge such as fundamental math and science theory, and related skills [1], [2],[16], [17].Though technical knowledge is typically at the forefront of engineering course content,organizations such as the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)underscore the importance of
Matthew W. Priddy is an Assistant Professor at Mississippi State University in the Department of Mechan- ical Engineering. He has a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology (2016), in addition to a B.S. (2008) and M.S. (2010) in Civil Engineering from Mississippi State Univer- sity. Dr. Priddy is the PI of the Computational Mechanics and Materials Laboratory (CMML) at MSU. The primary research focus of CMML is the finite element modeling of complex phenomena (e.g., ad- ditive manufacturing) and advanced material modeling of various material classes (e.g., metals) for the purpose of translating knowledge from research-based simulations to a tractable format for the larger en- gineering

Given that it had been set up as a delegatebased organization, ABET’s governing body remained divided as to the appropriate response tonational competitiveness. IEEE, in representing a fast-changing field, favored a continuedemphasis on the engineering sciences and an educational system that leaned towards research.ASCE, by contrast, occupied the opposite extreme. ASME appeared to be internally dividedbetween those who wished to emphasize manufacturing and research. An organization with over50 delegates representing 27 engineering professional societies, the ABET Board, as it was thenconstituted, was not a body that was set up for quick and decisive action [30].In the participant

While the CIDmodel is expanding across disciplines and has been adopted by some engineering programs inuniversities including MIT, Virginia Tech, Cornell, North Carolina State University, andUniversity of Southern California, CID programs are not prevalent in engineering (Paretti,Eriksson, & Gustafasson, 2019).

Project Based Learning is an importantconcept related to senior projects, especially in engineering technology programs, it representsactive learning techniques used in courses throughout the curriculum, from freshman years up tosenior design projects, and it is a concept extensively studied in the literature [3, 4]. Otherconcepts related to student projects and ultimately to senior design projects, are Design BasedLearning [5] and Experiential Learning [6]. Yet another concept covered in the literature isService-Learning Projects, which is related to community based projects that are integrated inundergraduate courses as instruments to

After more than a decade, in 1983, the UN General Assemblyestablished a World Commission on Environment and Development with an urgent call topropose a long-term agenda (targeting the year 2000) to deal effectively with the environmentalissues impacting world development. The Commission, chaired by former Norwegian PrimeMinister, Gro Harlem Brundtland, delivered the report “Our Common Future” (also known asthe “Brundtland report”) in 1987. The report presented an integrated perspective on developmentto also include the role of the international economy, population and human resources, foodsecurity, species and ecosystems, energy sources and efficiency, industrial growth, the

The course content canbecome integrated with more real-world examples so students can directly apply concepts andtheories learned in the classroom to industry, which gives them a better understanding of thematerial while simultaneously preparing them for the workforce [5].IABs are sometimes used to provide opportunities for students to benefit through offeringinternships and employment opportunities.

campuses across the globe and are integral to the educationof students throughout colleges of engineering [1]–[5]. These spaces house a variety ofmachining and rapid-prototyping tools and are meant to facilitate a creative and encouragingatmosphere to allow users to work their way through iterative design cycles [6]–[8]. The type ofopen-ended design projects that tend to occur in such spaces promote active learning, which hasbeen consistently associated with uniquebenefits over traditional lecture-basedteaching. Such gains include improvedlearning [9]–[12] and retention [13]; higherstudent self-assessment of associatedcourses [12], [14]; and improved retentionof students, particularly in underrepresentedgroups [10], [15]–[17].

After a fewmoments, he announced the wind force as 2,546.98 pounds. There was an immediate reactionfrom the group. Nico leaned over to look at Pranav’s computer and Pranav recited all of theoperations he performed with the “wind force calculator.” Bob asked the group what the average wind speed of a hurricane is. The group laughed,but Pranav did look up the average speed, and told the group the average speed was 138 mph.Bob then tapped the whiteboard at the point where 100 mph wind speed is written, the windspeed the group agreed was the maximum speed the solar tracker could

discussed,1, 2, 3 practically understanding team-based pedagogies thatreliably initiate excellent team performance is very valuable.This study applied a well-tested team-center pedagogy, Team Based Learning (TBL),4 to anintermediate design class. TBL, developed by L. K. Michaelsen, integrates pre-class reading,short individual and team assessment quizzes, and challenging in-class team tasks. The design ofTBL in-class tasks is fundamental to stimulating teamwork and learning. The tasks must drawthe students together collaboratively for learning. If the tasks fail to do this, teamwork andlearning both suffer.Creating in-class tasks that truly engage teams can be difficult. Some tasks that initially appeargood do not initiate collaboration
