results of innovative learning strategies and art-relatedpartnerships and developments across campus. A Qualtrics survey of faculty and academic staffconducted in 2021 rounds out the snapshot of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts,and Mathematics) at our institution.The paper concludes with potential future directions for implementing changes in curriculum andbringing art more fully into our campus life. A focus on art as something communallyexperienced in public places and legitimately connected to engineering coursework serves tohighlight its importance as an intrinsic, exciting part of engineering design. Integration of art inengineering education fosters critical and creative thinking, allowing students to conceivealternative

As Dewey suggests, through experimentation withpractical applications, the student educational experience is enhanced as they are able to make aconnection through multiple sensory stimulation and are better able to apply the knowledge gained tofuture problems that build upon that

, explicitly describing her journey as a Black woman to and throu ghengineering. I can only assume that she felt comfortable disclosing these aspects of her journeybecause we shared identities as Black women in engineering. Similarly, I acknowledge how thereare underlying differences of Black women studying engineering at Historically Black Collegesand Universities (HBCUs) in comparison to Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs). As I havematriculated through graduate education, I’ve experienced both racialized and genderedexperiences in engineering. However, Simone’s interview was emotional and challenged me toreckon with aspects of privilege and marginalization engrained at the seams of engineering.How does your positionality impact what research

faced byeducators and the result is often the sacrifice of engineering fundamentals that are unrelated to aprogram’s ultimate focus. There is a growing need for graduates that possess comprehensiveknowledge of engineering fundamentals from the full spectrum of engineering disciplines toaccommodate the increasingly integrated work place. Multi-disciplinary engineering degreeprograms are attempting to address this need, often by utilizing coursework from various“traditional” departments in well established engineering colleges. Integrated Engineering is anattempt to develop a comprehensive fundamental curriculum where all of the courseworkintegrally supports the overall course of study. With their broader, fundamental knowledgeIntegrated

The integration of these educational features iswhat is currently lacking, as they may be included in engineering programs but generally asafterthought activities engineered to tick boxes for accreditation [3], [4].Individual faculty have undertaken efforts to provide more opportunities for students to broadentheir education through multi- and interdisciplinary design-related courses that engage studentteams in complex socio-technical problems [5], [6], [7]. However, there are many institution-specific challenges that faculty navigate when developing and implementing courses that divergefrom traditional content-heavy lectures [8], [9]. Additionally, as

Professor at Penn State in 2012. He is a member of ACS, AIChE, AAAS, and ASEE. More recently, he has engaged in studying the ”physics of community”, pursuing questions in learning, creativity, motivation, trust and deceit, courage, and other social science ideas using results from physics, chemistry, biology, and chemical engineering. In 2011 he published a book, Wild Scholars, available through amazon.com, and he seeks to impact education from grade school to college. In 2013, he published a book CENTER, which details six practices needed to go from your passions and purposes, to making a change in the world. In Fall 2013, he is teaching a MOOC called ”Creativity, Innovation, and Change”, which has over 120,000 students
