A critical considerationfor me was the belief that discussions around topics such as race, gender, class, etc. should not berelegated to one week focused on “equity.” I was worried that relegating all equity- and justice-related content to one week would devalue it in the minds of students and perpetuate the idea thatall the other content in the course was neutral or apolitical. My course had two full weeksdedicated especially to gender and colonialism in the course. In addition, most of the other weeksincluded concepts, ideas, and examples

Keith, Morrison, and King7 have developed COMSOLMultiphysics® problems for introducing fuel cell concepts in fluid mechanics, heattransfer, or mass transfer courses. In this paper, we build upon this concept but utilize theMultiphysics® mode with two applications in mind: microfluidics and fuel cells.A special topics course in chemical engineering entitled Analytical MicrodeviceTechnology was developed for undergraduate upper-classmen and beginning graduatestudents. One challenge when discussing microfluidics in microdevices is facilitatingstudent visualization of the mathematical expressions and physical behaviors observed inthe micron length scales.

Considering these indications that the program was a success, this study’s research objectives aremeant to draw from that collective experience and provide insight for engineering educators designing similar skill-sharing events between engineers and students and professionals from other disciplines, especially those stemmingfrom a specific need to take a multi-sectoral approach. With that in mind, this study of that program, as well asreflections on this interdisciplinary collaboration and measures of the program’s impacts, was a valuable opportunityto examine our research questions and derive
solve theproblem—as the designer proceeds in the design process. Andrews connected design failures toPiaget’s “perturbations” in the environment that encourage students to get curious and learn [4,9]. Another way to consider how design failure may inspire learning is to compare it to howanomalous data may do the same in science education. As Chinn and Malhotra found in fourseparate experiments, “upper elementary school children are fair minded in their observations ofdata about empirical regularities in science, and they are willing and able to change their beliefsin response to their observations” (p. 342) [10].Squarely in the engineering education space, Crismond [11, 12] and Crismond and Adams [2]assert the importance of diagnostic

This experience demonstrates that through innovation, some of the engineering laboratory courses can be taught remotely without sacrificing any experiments.1. Introduction One of the most meaningful measures of an engineering program is for its graduates to be able to perform from the first day on the job. It is only through a fine interplay of the theory and practice that such an outcome can be achieved. Hence, it is imperative that when developing courses and curricula, we keep a theory to practice outcome in mind. What distinguishes the new graduates in

A third studentpointed out that ‘Being part of an interdisciplinary team and working with a well renownedengineering company has been an incredible experience. Putting together an engineering changepackage really took me out of the solving textbook problems mind set.’ These comments highlightthe benefits of team work and communication between inter-disciplinary teams. 15.

central component of the value for the community partners. Thisdiffers from many of the early adopters of service-learning, where the service was typicallydefined as time spent within the community or in the partner organization [1]. Nearly 90% of thestudents studied in Where’s the Learning in Service-Learning [2] were from placement-basedapproaches. It is not surprising, therefore, that many of the models for community-engagedlearning were designed with placement-based approaches in mind. While such models can beuseful in engineering, they lack the context of the project experience that adds dimensions notaddressed in earlier models. A project deliverable is central to many engineering experiences,while the project process, including activities
