The impact of the module has not yet been formally assessed, and future work will seekto assess both the short-term and long-term impact of this module on students’ understanding of,and attention to, diversity issues. Intended short-term assessment includes pre-and post-awareness surveys that highlight familiarity with the language and issues surrounding

with agoal of developing a socio-technical mindset as well as student understanding of the relevance ofsocial justice to their future as engineers. This activity occurs during week four of the quarter aspart of the "Developing Sociotechnical Mindsets" unit, building on earlier discussions of identity,belonging, and engineering decision-making. The primary objective of this activity is to helpstudents recognize how bias impacts innovation while developing their ability to analyze theimpact of engineering decisions on people and communities. Through engagement with real-world examples of bias in engineering, students learn to identify how engineering solutions canunintentionally exclude or harm certain populations. The activity challenges

An opportunity to demonstrate knowledge of biology and engineering; 2. An opportunity to demonstrate effective written communication skills; 3.

THE FUTURE DESIGN STUDIOThe goal of FDS is to provide participants with a chance to imagine future technologies, buildprototypes of such artifacts, and deeply engage with the broader impacts and societal interactionsthat might occur in such a technological future. Part of this deeper engagement occurs whenparticipants are faced with how their creation plays out in an imagined world, created on the fly,by a professional improv team trained in how to think critically about sociotechnical interactions.This allows the students to explore the unintended consequences and possibly beneficial uses oftheir imagined technology outside of the initial

physics is responsible for a range of natural phenomena, from stunning landscapes to devastating disasters such as floods, tornadoes, and wildfires. By exploring the relationship between art and science, students can gain a deeper understanding of how the two fields intersect and influence one another. For instance, they can learn how images and videos of natural disasters are both scientifically informative and aesthetically captivating. In addition to scientific goals, many fluid physicists are also driven by a fascination with their subject, which underscores the potential for lifelong learning and engagement in the field. • Effective Communication – Another important objective of this course is to teach students

Successful engagement early in a student’s courseof study is critical as early engagement is sometimes insufficient at large universities, wherestudents do not normally feel “belonged” early due to large class sizes or lack of interactionamong students for a variety of reasons [2].

Kurt (2001)asserted that service learning can be a meaningful way to combine service with academiclearning in a variety of technology courses. Technology savvy students are eager to take onnew roles in service learning. Service learning provides this change, because studentsbecome more aware of their positive impact to the community while working on technicalprojects. “Integrating technology with service learning catches and holds the attention ofstudents who have grown up in the digital age and rely on computers, video games, cellphones and digital music players for their information and entertainment” (Bradford, 2005,p.1).
