For example, a student who prefers activerather than reflective learning, and who felt their needs were not being met in the engineeringcurriculum, might be expected to choose the survey option “I want to take classes which give memore opportunities to: do hands-on experiments and laboratories.” On the

The 5-day summer institutes provide rigorouscontent and hands-on activities for the teachers. The objective of this paper is to describe thedevelopment and assessment of the institutes.The design of the

Homero is interested in understanding how to develop effective and culturally relevant learning environments that can promote the sustainable competencies engineering students require to succeed in the contemporary workforce. His goal is to develop engineering education practices that value the capital that traditionally marginalized students, bring into the field. Homero aspires to change discourses around broadening participation in engineering and promoting action to change. Homero has been recognized as a Diggs Teaching

In this offering format, a program isstill able to teach the material that is deemed necessary for students to learn before they graduate,but allows students to apply that knowledge in particular applications that are of the most interestto them. For example, suppose that a program wishes to teach students how to design laboratoryexperiments. The program could teach this in one particular laboratory course. Or the programcould offer two or three laboratory courses that focus on different particular subdisciplines in thefield, and teach students in each of these courses how to design experiments. By requiring thatstudents take at least one of these elective courses, the program guarantees that the students
