The content ofthis faculty ad shows vision, values, and inclusion. The ad has some elements that one would nottypically see in a faculty ad, including (a) departmental values upfront and visibly clear, (b) asection describing our uniqueness and a vision of the kind of engineering program we arelaunching, (c) a section describing a vision of who we want. The ask for the candidates alsodemonstrate inclusion and an invitation to align with the vision and values
purpose, we analyzed a) written student responses from a workshop activity, b) datafrom semi-structured interviews that occurred after the workshop, and 3) responses to an exitsurvey administered at the conclusion of the five-week program. Combined, these data sourcesshed light on expectations students developed by the end of the program. We found that studentsemerged from the SBP with varying degrees of expectations regarding the alignment between theSBP experience and a college semester in engineering. We also found that students’ experiencesand observations led them to recognize that marginalization exists in engineering while they alsoviewed engineering as a level playing field. We uncovered that when asked how they wouldrespond to

As expected, the ball is stabilized to the center of theplate where (𝑥𝑏 , 𝑦𝑏 ) = (0, 0.23) with eventual zero velocity of the ball.Figure 8.

stage model is static with specifiednumber of stages while the activity model can incorporate several design methods. In thiscontext, design methods are tools and techniques used at different stages of the designprocess. The prime objective of this course is to equip students with the knowledge, skills andcompetence in the development and use of design models and methods so that they canhandle design process management in their professional careers. In the provision of thelearning experience students are (a) given lectures and hand-outs on the theory andmethodology in which they have to pass a written examination (so called Instructivism) and(b) apply their knowledge and skills in a project where they exhibit their competence gained
