Nelson, the College ofEngineering submitted a successful proposal to the University of California Office ofthe President that highlighted Berkeley Engineering’s plan to advance thediversification of the professoriate beginning in the 2017-2018 academic year. Thisproposal outlined a myriad of approaches based on best-practices and promisingpractices. These approaches included:CLICK1. A diversification of our applicant pool in an effort to increase access/opportunities of URMs in academia with the employment of CLICK2. Rubrics to reduce bias during the evaluation process. CLICK3.

As Lehigh Professor John Kenny Smithnotes, the problem, is that “999 times, people get away with doing unsafe things, and it’s onlythe 1,000th time that something horrible happens.” [13]Final ProjectFor their final project, teams of students applied the DMADV approach to one of threecontroversial bills passed by the state legislature. Students were encouraged to use their acquiredskills in identifying motivating factors to develop a needs statement free of hidden motivations.Finally, students developed and evaluated possible alternative solutions to address the true

in self-concept. We cannot say what is “better” – a stable career self-concept, or one that is moremalleable, but the existence of these biases may be cause for concern and merit further study.Longitudinal studies may shed light on this question.Of interest, the changing instructional modes during the COVID-19 pandemic – first to whollyonline instruction, then to hybrid instruction with changes to student projects, and then a returnto “normal” (reported in part in [9]) – had no discernable impact on engineering career self-concept. This may be a real-world test of Clark’s famous assertion that “there are no learningbenefits to be gained from employing any specific medium to deliver instruction.” [10] It is alsoworth noting that a significant

circuit was the last one that the students built; they are now more confident about how thefluid trainer simulator work and how to connect the required components. The circuitcomponents used here are; a direct-operated relief valve, a tandem-center 3/4 directional controlvalve, and a weighted cylinder in a vertical position.This circuit was used to demonstrate the relationship of the 𝑃 = 𝐹/𝐴. First, the studentcontrolled this circuit to extend the cylinder without the added weight while seeing the pressurein the gauge. Then the student adds the wight to the cylinder and repeats the process. This gavethe students real experience to see how the added weight was reflected in the increased pressure.The instructor asked the student if, given the

In designcompetitions, often the student teams represent their home institutions, and this has been shownto provide the students with an added incentive to perform well 12. It has been recognized thatgenerally, it is prudent to have a good balance of the four types of projects. The learningoutcomes are affected by the kind of project undertaken by a design team 13. Ford and Lasher 11proposed an excellent scheme for screening projects to offer students. In capstone design courses, there are different strategies of assigning students to projectteams. One strategy is to let the students select the project
