The revision consisted of rearranging courses to increase the twotechnical areas (atmospheric flight and space flight) from seven semester-credit-hours to thirteensemester-credit-hours. The new curriculum went into effect in fall 2008, and the space flighttechnical area now included an advanced orbital mechanics course (3 hrs), an attitude dynamicscourse (3 hrs), the systems engineering course (3hrs), a spacecraft subsystems modelinglaboratory (1 hr), and the spacecraft-mission design course (3 hrs). In the 2008 curriculumrevision, the SE course and the subsystems modeling laboratory were made

Such an advanced technological curriculum has offered a unique careerpathway to students interested in advanced engineering technology through the full-timeprogram at Drexel, dual degree programs with community colleges, and 2+2+2 programsincorporating also high schools in the Greater Philadelphia Region.

In this paper, we describeour approach, which involves the creation and implementation of a week-long, extracurricularworkshop called a “Guild.” With our program, we aspired to introduce women and non-binaryundergraduate students from other majors (e.g., biology, nursing, and business) to computingconcepts.

effect of thislimitation is that the department has only one instructional lab. In addition, being an old program,the lab was originally designed for some of the more traditional Bioengineering fields, such asbiomechanics and instrumentation. About 15 years ago, in 2006, a new Bioengineering building was constructed reflecting thechange in the field to areas related to molecular biology and tissue engineering, among others.The instructional lab was moved to a new home in a lab which contained chemical hoods andcell culture hoods, but was still nevertheless setup with stations designed for physiological andinstrumentation studies (Figure 1).

In recent years, Agile design approachhas been employed in engineering fields including in engineering education [6], [7],[8]. Withevolving complexity of engineering projects and customer needs, Agile Engineering approachcould become a norm across all engineering fields [7], [8].

As we teach the design and implementation of process control systems inthe Engineering curriculum, we must recognize that these systems will require capabilities forcontrol and support from remote locations. For example, the need for remote control may bedriven by the high cost of a particular process. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory uses remoteprocess control at its
