encouraging innovation [8].Previous WorkIntroductory courses serve as gateways to many majors in science and engineering. A key barrierto success in the STEM curriculum is very high rates of failure or withdrawal in introductorySTEM courses. Traditionally the format for instruction is lecture oriented, often in large lecturehalls not conducive to student interchange and discussion, so students work in isolation and areunable to engage in course discussion with peers outside of class [2], [5], [9], [10]. Peer LedTeam Learning (PLTL) and Emerging Scholars Programs (ESP) offer a small-group discussionapproach to support student learning in math, the physical sciences, computer science andengineering at institutions such as the University of Texas

: • Provided an orientation on the process and reasoning in the development of the single strawman solution and explain the process by which we would revise the strawman solution. • The faculty member who proposed the revolutionary independent plan gave a presentation on innovative content and exercises that he has introduced into his courses over the years and made suggestions as to where this content might be included within the strawman solution. • The faculty formed into three smaller groups of three faculty members each. Each group developed proposals that would improve the strawman. The suggestion had to be created in the form of a motion that could be voted up or down. For anything added to

wisdom that are not currently within our system.Barriers to DecolonizationThe positivistic mindset of engineering and engineering education was discussed as a barrier todecolonization. Participants observed how engineering values revolve around evidence andauthority and noted that engineering education can take shelter in abstraction, teaching thetheoretical rather than the application, and not teaching about values or judgements. Thisengineering value system was contrasted with Indigenous knowledges and value systems.Capitalism as an engineering value surfaced as another barrier: participants argued that profit,innovation, and newer, bigger products are emphasized by dominant engineering designpractices, at the expense of sustainability

Now, students can creatively find practical ways to optimize their models,which is an invaluable skill.From a student's perspective, this course is organized in a way that promotes a higher level ofunderstanding of ML. Through completion of these assignments, students learn the applicability,uniqueness, and innovativeness of this subject, which may motivate them to learn more andincorporate it into their future endeavors. Personally, the subject of ML has influenced my careertrajectory going forward, and I hope that this course influences the lives of other students asmuch as it did for me.5: ConclusionThis paper presented a maritime-focused course in ML, emphasizing five original mini projectsthat utilize the Ships in

What students learn can be assessed throughobservation and the use of the assessment-specific rubrics; however, how students learn is lessstraightforward to quantify within the typical engineering curricula. Despite the pedagogicalchallenges, we support deeper integration of policy-literacy skills into engineering classroomsfor preparing students as future societal leaders.AcknowledgmentsThis work was supported by the Strategic Instructional Innovations Program (SIIP) and theAcademy for Excellence in Engineering Education (AE3) at the Grainger College ofEngineering, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and the National Science
