educational laboratories. ▪ Personalized Education o A satellite campus is typically unique in providing small-class sizes, a true collaborative learning environment, and an opportunity for personalized education for students. The class and campus environment creates an opportunity for faculty to engage in academic activities that can lead to developing professional relationships with students. The small class sizes allow the faculty to know their students on a more personal basis, which can lead to increasing the motivation of students. Meyer [12] conducted a literature review and survey and discovered that departments offering small class-sizes

and experience to make these decisions. Thoseconsidering pursuing a Ph.D. often do not know what their future will look like if they pursue acareer in academia. Engineering students, who can experience industry careers through internships,have no avenue to explore if a faculty position is right for them. As such, students frequently viewthe Ph.D. profession as just being a teacher and do not consider it due to this impression. Being afaculty member encompasses much more than students see through their university experience,from teaching requirements to scholarship and service.This paper posits the need for a shadowing program mimicking the structure of job shadowingprograms found in industry or commonly experienced in medical domains. A job

exploring two additional outcomes, long-term benefits to students’ personal lives andachieving work/life balance after graduation, within the context of stacking multiple high-impactpractices.These analyses are made possible with the use of an alumni survey at Worcester PolytechnicInstitute where all undergraduate students complete multiple projects in order to graduate.According to an externally conducted study in 2018, 70% of faculty reported using PBL in theircourses. By 2021, 98% of surveyed alumni indicated that they had projects in at least 25% oftheir courses. In addition to course-based projects, all undergraduate students complete twomajor projects. One is a team-based project addressing a problem at the intersection oftechnology and

One page of this form relates to the senior capstone projector master’s thesis, and the form is completed in two stages. First, the student discusses theirtopic idea with their course instructor / advisor and then with one of the certificate programcoordinators. If approved, both faculty members sign the form with an initial title for the project.A written project proposal is included at this stage. Once the

projects aligned with active research areas ofPurdue faculty members and national, international, and industry-sponsored design challenges.VIP teams are multi-disciplinary and vertically-integrated (first-year through seniors) withfaculty and graduate student mentors and extend over multiple semesters or years. Because theprojects and teams within this program span a wide variety of contexts and require very diverseknowledge and skill development, the project work is supplemented with ProfessionalDevelopment (PD) workshops. The PD workshops are short modules ranging over a variety ofprofessional topics that complement traditional curriculum and are intended to provideopportunities for students to learn skills needed for their projects and their

decisions as wellas inclusion of the person or communities that will potentially be impacted by their work.To introduce the concepts of Design Justice in their courses, faculty members can start by readingthe Design Justice book [4], which contains many examples throughout the text. A case studycould be a good starting point, especially one that students can easily relate to. For example, thecase about the Spirometer, a device used to measure lung capacity. This was invented at a timewhen it was believed that race determined lung capacity, so the device was built with a racecorrection factor. When employers were sued for asbestos related lung-diseases caused due tolong exposure, Black employees would have to demonstrate worse lung function than
