It is obvious that ELD is having feweropportunities to participate in conference programs with other ASEE divisions and perpetuationof this state has been extensively discussed in recent ELD meetings. We suggest that the ELDleadership develop a strategic approach to increased collaboration with other divisions,particularly those that provide support to engineering education such as Computing &Information Technology, Continuing Professional Development, Educational Research &Methods, and Women in Engineering.In

Customers, especially from industry and government, rely on standards toensure goods and services satisfy their needs while improving health, safety, environmental, andsocial equity aspects. Standards identify and evaluate technologies, thus plays a vital role indetermining which technologies are adopted and how they are deployed in industry andproducts.4 Engineers that understand that role will be more effective in incorporating standardsin their work so that sustainability is improved. Moreover, standards encompass activitiesbeyond the scope of commerce. Consequently, standards shape the sustainability of a wide arrayof market and non-market activities.Recognition of this has lead to the development of standards that explicitly

This generation of students is technology savvy, and regularly communicates bymeans other than face-to-face interactions (e.g. texting). Additionally, the popularity of sites suchas Khan Academy makes the idea of teaching with video difficult to ignore. Thus, we assert thatthere is value in using this media for instruction, and that this media can be leveraged for use in achemical engineering course. During this study, students will be asked to 1) take a conceptdiscussed during class, and articulate it in video media using everyday examples that otherstudents can relate to (autodidactic learning) 2) watch peer-made videos that teach these concepts(peer-to-peer

Leifer, I integrate approaches from engineering, de- sign and psychology to investigate the contemporary team practice of multicultural design innovation and multicultural, interdisciplinary science innovation. Specifically, I investigate a psychological mechanism – perplexity - through which engineers thrive when their habitual mind clashes with the social realities. In addition, I test interventions to nudge engineers to reframe problematic schema-incongruent situations into unique opportunities for cognitive growth, creative performance, and effective teamwork. My work contributes to revealing the science behind multicultural, interdisciplinary technological collaboration and providing actionable guidance for
