tremendousadvances in electronics manufacturing technology and concomitant increase in the complexity and capability ofthe embedded digital systems used in the “smart” products sold today means that industry can no longer relyupon these inefficient design techniques. Industry needs engineers that are trained in the latest, most effectiveembedded digital system design technologies. To meet this industrial need, the educational modus operandimust be updated to incorporate the revolutionary new design techniques being developed in the RASSPprogram and elsewhere. In effect, a paradigm shift in digital system design education is needed. This paper will describe a novel educational program that will ensure the successful transfer of the newtechnologies and

The University of Tennessee at ChattanoogaAbstractThe Engineering program at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) emphasizes theelements of the design process throughout the curriculum, beginning with the freshmen year. Atthe sophomore level all engineering students use design concepts to design, build, and test smallstructural and mechanical projects. At the junior and senior level the students use the designprocess to solve real-life and open-ended interdisciplinary industry-based problems provided byindustrial sponsors. In addition, students apply design concepts in a three

. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Systemic Transformation of Evidence-based Education Reform (STEER)It is generally accepted that a growing fraction of U.S. job openings will require STEMcompetency [1-3]. However, while the number of bachelor’s degrees awarded in STEMdisciplines has increased over the past ten years [4], the retention of students in these programs isstill quite low (less than 40%) [5]. While some students leave a STEM major because of pooracademic performance, many have grade point averages that are as high as those of students whostay in their major [6]. This latter group leaves for a variety of reasons, including lack of self-confidence [7-8], and lack of
of institution to a level not known before because of the coursetransfer issues. Over time this allows for a particularly strong sense of trust to be developedamong collaboratives, as expanded upon below. Curriculum formulation in support ofengineering education, to an ABET approved level, necessitates faculty professionaldevelopment for science, mathematics and technology instructors as well as the “rare”engineering instructor on staff at the TCU. These levels of interaction eventually strengthensindividual collaborations between academics in the program, which heightens concern for thestudents on either side of the transition process. Additional benefits also accrue to the TCUs byavoiding the most costly segment of engineering education

objectives are outlined in The Visionfor Civil Engineering in 2025, a publication of ASCE, which highlighted the value ofsustainability and its integration into educational institutions [11]. However, efforts to promotesustainability education frequently neglect the social component, such as issues withinfrastructure inequity. This might be because adding social sustainability aspects to aninfrastructure project may provide a variety of additional challenges. Nonetheless, previousliterature had studied infrastructure equity and related subjects in limited scope. For example,Bolding et al. (2021) evaluated the perceptions of undergraduate students majoring in civilengineering about infrastructure inequities and their support for systemic changes to

We expectnon-engineering participation to grow as the minor matures and is better publicized.7. Development of Graduate ProgramsGiven the continued student interest in sustainability themed engineering education andcontinued course development to support those interests, the leadership of the KGCOEdetermined that it would be appropriate to introduce graduate level programs in this area.A core team of faculty was assembled with representation from the ME department and theISE department. These departments would be responsible for delivering the majority of theprogram content.Two graduate programs were proposed, a Master of
