Final program projects (typically ‘master’s projects’ at the graduatelevel and ‘capstone’ at the undergraduate) are intensive experiences in critical analysis,and are designed to broaden students’ perspectives and provide them with an opportunityto integrate the information obtained from their various courses into their area ofspecilization.

the faculty prioritized ensuring that our students have “anability to…create a collaborative and inclusive environment” upon graduation. Our approach tointroducing DEI pedagogy was to focus on a first-year course, Grand Challenges in Engineering(GCE), and a second-year course, Engineering Mechanics: Statics (Statics). GCE is the firstfoundational design course in the program, where ABET Student Outcomes (SOs) 2-6 areintroduced. This was a natural fit for introducing DEI concepts, since they tie well with SOs 3(effective communication) and 5 (function effectively on a team). While Statics is a less obviouschoice to integrate DEI instruction, it was an opportunity to explore innovative ways toemphasize the importance of DEI in engineering in a

School system personnel are very receptive to specificoffers of assistance. Specificity goes both ways—universities are often very willing to provideexpertise and/or materials to K12 educators if needs are identified clearly—and the universitymakes it’s interests known.

In addition, teamwork is oftenused as a learning mechanism and means for assessment. The intention is that students help oneanother through social construction so that they can tackle problems and projects of greater scalesand complexities than achievable individually, and that the team setting reflects the real context ofworking in industry. However, there are numerous questions and challenges to student teams.

Porosity (the total volume of pores) influences water storage, while the connectivityof these pores determines permeability. For instance, sandy soil may not store much water due tolarger, poorly retaining pores, but it allows fast infiltration, making it ideal for crops requiringwell-drained soils. Understanding permeability teaches students how soil affects water availabilityfor plants and ecosystems.The provided materials outline practical experiments to measure soil permeability. This methoduses funnels filled with soil types like sand, clay, and gravel. Students pour a fixed amount ofwater into each funnel and measure the time taken for water to pass through
