As engineering educationfaculty, students, and support practitioners, we are engaging in a collaborative inquirymethodology to examine engineering education programs, recruitment, and curricula, andengineering career pathways to identify key practices that hinder learning about and workingtowards Solidarity Engineering. This work-in-progress presents a broad outline of work we areundertaking to explore what we call the “re-engineering” of both engineering education and ofpotential career pathways. Through our work, we hope to identify a broad set ofsolidarity-focused examples and methods. Further, we hope this paper inspires a largerconversation about how the engineering profession can reframe its ways of engaging within theworld to
similar studies done in related fields; the studies that are performed on thetopic are generally restricted to a very specific demographic, and are not easily applicable to theentire population of engineering technology students and professionals. However, whatinformation does exist suggests that this lack of research impedes the professional growth ofthose who are involved in engineering technology, including restricting the ability of faculty torecruit students interested in engineering technology programs, decreasing the effectiveness ofguidance available to those students through advisors and outside programs, and preventinginequities currently present in the engineering field as a whole from being addressed.

Across these sectors, workforce development is used to describe a rangeof programs and policies without consensus on a definition.An understanding of workforce development necessitates an examination of its roots. Jacobsand Hawley [1] identified five drivers for workforce development:1) globalization (e.g., connections between markets and different ways of internationalinteraction), 2) technology (e.g., increases in productivity and changes in communication), 3)new economy (e.g., free-market capitalism dictates supply and demand of goods and services),4) political change (e.g., policies open up international investment and competition), and 5)demographic shifts
engineering is a liaison between design and production. They need to be proficient in communicating in both spheres and often to non-engineers. This is particularly true when either providing or receiving feedback (2g, 4b).2. Communication and collaboration skills are critical in particular communicating technical information to non-engineers (2.a-c).3. A critical skill is the ability to work through ambiguity (1j, 4d).4. A manufacturing engineer must be able to deal with conflict (4f).5. Skill is needed in identifying solutions to failures (1.c) and getting buy-in for the proposed solution (2a-c, e).6. There must be comfort working on tasks with deliverables that are beyond one’s control and an ability to manage completing work under these

Given the overall ethnic/racial and gender demographicsof the electrical and computer engineering department and the field, the percentage of womenand under-represented minorities in the program was very good. The responses of the studentsdemonstrate that the program is worthwhile and makes significant contributions to their collegecareer and beyond. Mentorship by faculty and industry personnel were deemed as the mostimportant aspect of the program, not including the scholarship. There are still areas

The Attributes of aGlobal Engineer Project’s principal goal is to “Enhance the employability of engineeringgraduates and increase the international competitiveness of ASEE’s corporate members, so thatengineers can effectively live, work, and perform anywhere in the world.” (Diane Matt, ChairASEE-CMC, 2014)Initial Attribute Development and RefinementThe process of initially developing the Attributes of a Global Engineer began in 2008, led by theInternational Engineering Education Special Interest Group (SIG), and involved CMC membersdeveloping a list of competencies derived from representative job descriptions, literaturereviews, and other reports. This initial list was consolidated through
contrast to the experiences ofindustry professionals, who often acquire their skills outside of formal classroom settings. Thissuggests that active learning approaches, which engage students beyond passive informationconsumption, can foster valuable skill development even without direct classroom instruction 4 .Supporting this view, a study by Adair et al. 5 found that a significant majority (73%) of CFDstudents preferred learning through tutorials, lab activities, or collaborative group work, comparedto only 11% who favored traditional lectures. These findings highlight the need for a shift towardsmore active learning approaches in CFD education.This paper introduces a novel undergraduate CFD course specifically designed to overcome thischallenge
conflicting dimensions.Engineers also deal with the creation of complex design objects or artifacts that could bedeveloped through a variety of models, methods, or approaches [6], some of which may proveuseful for designing courses. To better understand the challenges of designing courses inengineering education and the affordances and limitations of different models, we propose toview courses as design objects through a multiple perspective approach [7,8]. A multipleperspective approach intentionally selects distinct ways of framing some topic or object touncover assumptions hidden in different perspectives, create comparisons of strengths andweaknesses across perspectives, open new opportunities for synthesis, and inform moreintentional selection
clearly in written reports and oral presentations. Asearly as 1985, Anne Herrington was indicating the need for students to engage indiscourse, to practice writing conventions of their discipline and to use the process ofwriting to clarify their understanding of abstract concepts. Beyond that, writing andspeaking clearly and directly is a skill valued by potential employers.The value of non-traditional learning environments: Non-traditional environments forteaching and learning include a multitude of definitions. We take this to mean the use ofnon-lecture based sessions with a heavy reliance on on-line, self-directed learning. Self-directed learning has been described as "a process in which individuals take the initiative,with or without the help
from private consulting andmanufacturing companies to public sector utilities.Focus groups were also held with cooperative work-term employers of the participants for thepurposes of gaining insight from an employer’s perspective on both possibilities for andobstacles to IEGs’ integration into the profession. Through an email invitation, four of the sixengineering supervisors agreed to participate, and this meeting was held towards completion ofthe co-op work term. Focus groups are loosely structured gatherings of 4-12 people who engagein a discussion guided by the moderator. The primary advantage of a focus group is the abilityfor discussion to expand beyond the preconceptions of the researcher(s) and to provide dataabout key issues important
(especially beyond theimmediate customer) to be difficult. The limited experience of most students and their maturitylevel are contributors. However by addressing this early and returning to it through later designcourses we hope to reinforce this important aspect of systems thinking. Team work is always achallenge with students but the result is actually somewhat encouraging as we attempted to buildteaming skills through specific means such as the team charter.Student comments (encouraged in the survey) were a revealing complement to the survey data.Two threads emerged:1. A better introduction on how to use LabVIEW was desired and2. Students wanted more time to do the final project.Item 1 has been addressed with the second iteration of the course in

On the other hand, an improved educational environment which is better facilitated bysmoother communications and with more integrated software means in real-time hasbeen enhanced[3][8]. This suggests that learners have been provided with deeplycooperative learning through intentional communications, as well as knowledge andintelligence integration; ensuring a beneficial result from the features and functionalitiesthat have been verified for teaching and learning with a mobile focus, including howbest to use them. Currently, it enable learners to make the most usage of both a peculiaror public knowledge and intelligence that are connected

A newcourse has been initiated to introduce signal and power integrity in digital circuit implementationas a fundamental and required course in our computer engineering curriculum. This course willnot require electromagnetic fields and waves as prerequisite beyond college physics andtherefore will introduce those topics of engineering electromagnetics related to digital circuitimplementation. The rest of the course will cover signal and power integrity concepts, modelsand tools as well as real-world high-speed digital circuit implementations.
