Session Description

Engineering education often focuses on preparing students to be product or service providers (in government speak, working for a contractor). However, the government, as the customer for products and services, also needs engineers to focus on setting requirements (rather than design), maintaining (rather than building), operational testing, reverse engineering, and researching technology without a clear business case.
This session will survey the key differences between serving as an engineer and as a customer in the government, with application for educators preparing customers and solution providers alike.

Session Description

Engineering education produces highly skilled professionals, and engineers from all disciplines have an impact on the world in large and small ways every day. The work of engineers has increased life expectancy, produced life-saving technologies, improved the ability to connect with distant places and people, enabled communications around and beyond the ends of the Earth, and created joyful media and entertainment experiences, to name just a few.
However, many engineered solutions have also led to unintended negative social and environmental impacts. The negative effects of climate change, pollution, and health disparities have a disproportionate impact on people from historically marginalized communities. People of color and women are underrepresented in engineering, but their perspectives and lived experiences are critical to developing the best engineering solutions that no longer perpetuate environmental, economic, or social disparities.
Engineering educators are increasingly seeking to introduce sustainability into coursework. This session will provide teaching tools, capacity-building, and course buy-outs or resources to do so.
To both address and avoid negative impacts of the range of activities that engineers undertake, engineers must be prepared in a broad range of skills under the broad umbrella of sustainability. These include technical skills such as Life-Cycle Assessment and energy measurement, and high-demand professional skills such as communication, teamwork and leadership, and critical thinking to evaluate ethical issues and trade-offs.
As the aspirations of employers turn toward imbuing sustainability across engineering and business functions, the demand for sustainability skills is outweighing the supply.

Session Description

Over the past decade, colleges and universities have focused their efforts on student success as measured by increased graduation rates and reduced time to degree. These efforts have led to major gains, and they are ongoing. They have also naturally led to the next frontier in higher education where success is measured not only by graduation rates but also by impact on students' wellbeing long after graduation.
This greater goal is as appropriate to small liberal arts colleges as it is to regional and national public universities. If college is in fact meant to prepare students to achieve financial viability, find meaning in their human relationships and their work, contribute to the common good, and achieve lifelong well-being and satisfaction, higher education needs to establish which experiences during a student’s education are most likely to lead to these life-transformative outcomes. This talk will describe some of the forces that are currently buffeting higher education as well as the work of the Coalition for Life Transformative Education in moving us toward a future in which students are empowered with identity, agency, and purpose.

Session Description

This topical plenary provides experiences of researchers, practitioners, and beneficiaries of critical mentorship in engineering education. The conversational-style session will expose attendees to the positive and negative experiences of minoritized individuals in engineering. Engineering is rife with examples of interventions that fail students from minoritized backgrounds. For decades, organizations and institutions have sought to diversify engineering talent at all levels by introducing programs that offer “mentorship,” but fail to design, assess, and/or evaluate the impacts of those programs.

The session will look at critical mentorship as a way to address inequities in a way that is effective and rooted in anti-deficit notions for members of historically marginalized groups — a “nothing about us without us” approach that centers the voice of mentees. It offers a counternarrative to ideologies of knowledge and power, so students can take ownership of their personal and professional development.

This session seeks to ask and answer questions about what mentorship should be in engineering education, especially higher education. It will highlight scholarship in mentorship that is culturally relevant and intersectional, and involves a community-based participatory approach. It will offer effective mentorship strategies for developing a diverse engineering workforce, so access, equity, and inclusion in engineering can increase.

Speaker

1. Dr. Jeremy A. Magruder Waisome

   University of Florida

   

   Dr. Jeremy A. Magruder Waisome earned her bachelor's and master’s of science degrees and Ph.D. in civil engineering from UF. During her studies, she became passionate about issues of equity, access, and inclusion in engineering and computing and worked to develop programs and activities that supported diverse students in these disciplines.

   Today, Dr. Waisome is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering Education where she conducts research on broadening participation in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and computing (STEM+C). She is particularly interested in understanding how formalized mentoring programs impact student trajectories and self-efficacy. In her teaching, she utilizes the learner-centered approach to instruction.

   In 2018, she was appointed to serve as Special Assistant to the UF Dean of the Graduate School in the Division of Graduate Student Affairs under Dean Henry T. Frierson. During her time in this role, she managed the UF Chapter of the Edward A. Bouchet Graduate Honor Society, of which she is a founding member/inductee (2017). She is the recipient of several prestigious awards for her scholarship, leadership, and service, including the National Society of Black Engineer’s Mike Shinn Distinguished Member of the Year Award, and is an inducted member of the UF Hall of Fame (2010).

   She is passionate about science-communication (sci-comm) and participates in several activities to bridge the gap between the general public and the STEM+C disciplines. She has been featured as a moderator and host of sci-comm events for organizations like the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine, and the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT). Along with her colleague, Dr. Kyla McMullen, Dr. Waisome is co-creator and host of the conversational style podcast, Modern Figures Podcast. Through the generous support of iAAMCS, CRA-WP, and NCWIT, Modern Figures Podcast exists to elevate the voices of Black women in computing, to inspire the next generation of the advanced technology workforce.
