Abstract
In this paper, we describe an ongoing project involving a comprehensive redesign of six Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) undergraduate courses at Sacramento State to reduce equity gaps by incorporating culturally responsive pedagogies, inclusivity, and equity best practices. The goal of this project is to engage engineering students in active-learning experiences that are transformative, evidence-based, and aimed at closing equity gaps, improving persistence, and increasing graduation rates for all students.
The construct of course redesign along the critical path as an effective means to reduce barriers to student progress to a degree in STEM is a novel concept. We anticipate that this project will demonstrate that the advantages of the critical-path redesign are greater than the parts of individual gateway course redesign in engineering.
This project is jointly sponsored by the College of Engineering and Computer Science, the Office of Undergraduate Studies at Sacramento State, and by NSF grant (DUE # 2235774).
