in traditional study abroad experiences. While some programs have developed short-term study abroadexperiences spanning a single 15-week semester or 6-week summer session, thus reducing interference with degreeprogression, even these short-term experiences are considered too long by many engineering faculty and administrators,and engineering students rarely participate. In an attempt to remove some of the aforementioned deterrents and makestudy abroad opportunities more accommodating to engineering students, we developed an extreme-short-term studyabroad course specifically designed for engineering students with the intent of maximizing intercultural impact over theduration of spring break.

The project used the learning management system, Canvas, as theprimary hub/activity center for all PD information and activities.The [PROGRAM NAME] counselor PD was split into three phases. Phase I sessions weredesigned to facilitate counselors’ discovery of how engineering connects with a variety ofdisciplines, while learning about inclusive practices and challenges associated with implicitbiases, stereotypes, and stereotype threats.Phase II engaged counselors in hands-on engineering design activities to help them “think like anengineer.” All participants received a mail-kit with materials needed to complete this componentof the PD program.

Work in Progress: What is Design in the Context of a Mechanical Engineering Ph.D. Program? Grace Burleson, Janet Tsai, and Daria Kotys-Schwartz Mechanical Engineering, University of Colorado BoulderAbstract Design has long been considered a fundamental focus area within the mechanicalengineering discipline. At the undergraduate level, students are given the tools and resources togain knowledge and skills in critical design competencies, such as ability to scope problems,develop analytical models, and test and validate solutions. However, there is limited scholarshipregarding the conceptualization and definition of design at the doctoral level within themechanical

Most engineeringschools fail to meet the growing need for engineers skilled in multiscale design: they educateengineers to handle systems issues or component issues, but not both. Furthermore, engineeringeducation focuses on designing static, “point” solutions, not agile solutions that can adapt tochange.

To remedy this situation, largerbusinesses are taking it upon themselves to develop their own leadership development programs fornew college hires. Examples of such programs are found in GE’s Edison Development Engineering,Operations Management Leadership Programs and J&J’s Global Operations LeadershipDevelopment or “Gold” program.
