Initiatives around diversity, equity,and inclusion are frequently met with derision and suspicion — and are currently targeted forelimination. The CHIPS and Science Act is a law that requires consideration of these and strikingthat careful balance relies on communicating impact. “One doesn’t have to operate with great malice to do great harm. The absence of empathy and understanding are sufficient. In fact, a man convinced of his virtue even in the midst of his vice is the worst kind of man.” — Charles M.

However, these systems present unique challenges in aneducational setting that impact the choice of platform and how they are deployed for instructionand project work. Depending on the system, one challenge may be the level of IT support that isneeded. The cost of use for systems is also a major consideration for universities. Some vendorshave adopted the Software-as-a-Service business model, while others still require paying a heftyone-time licensing fee for student and faculty accounts and data storage. As a result, there can bea significant variation in cost for access to the available platforms. This cost can be justifiedpartly by the difference in capabilities. Though most systems now

Topics that have been addressed include troubleshooting teaching, working with student project teams, dealing with fund ing agencies, and the most popular one, writing effective NSF CAREER grant proposals.

One of the principal reasons for initiating the workshop was new faculty dissatisfactionwith the orientation they received following their arrival at N.C. State.
