that all course schedules can be synchronized, but any overlap will be welcomed by students. • Attend Presentations. If separate, discipline-specific presentations are given during the semester, require one student representative from each project discipline at every presentation. For example, require a computer science team member to attend the mechanical engineering student briefing and vice versa. This helps students keep the entire project in mind and also encourages students to work together. • Require Weekly Reports. Each student project team submits a one-page project summary report to their instructor and project advisor by noon every Friday. One section of the report

It is from these roots that my passion for education and engineering comefrom but also my strong belief that education is power and everyone is entitled to it. ThoughI attended a four university for engineering. I believe that community college is becoming acritical pathway to educating and diversifying engineering. With this in mind I realize I mayhave an outsider looking in perspective and that as a researcher it is difficult to separate mypositionality from my work (Secules et al. 2021).

To begin to unpack thiscomplexity, we present an initial exploration of the intersections of disciplinary, institutional,and national cultures on the departmental cultures within two different engineering disciplinesacross six universities.2. Examining culture2.1 Disciplinary cultureAs noted above, research on academic disciplines as cultures began to emerge in the 1970s asBiglan [1] explored the ways in which the values, norms, and beliefs of students and faculty arealso shaped by disciplinary cultures. As Becher [14] explains, “[d]isciplines are also culturalphenomena: they are embodied in collections of like-minded people, each with their own codesof conduct, sets of values and

Plato argued that reality existed in the human mind in the form of experienceand therefore any effort to quantify imperceptible matter was futile [11].

for infrastructure,especially when building while keeping natural disasters in mind [6]. Due to these views, it isdifficult to change the composition of cement or change the production methods while keepingthe expectations of reliability from engineers and the construction industry. While cement holds avital role in the transportation industry, it is not the same for the agricultural industry. Agricultureis negatively impacted by the cement industry in ways by soil quality and plant productionmainly due to cement dust, which emits large amounts of lead, zinc, hydrochloric acid, sulfuricacid, fluorine, copper, and magnesium [7]. During the cement manufacturing process, CO2 is released from four primary sources. Thecombustion of fossil fuels
