Makerspaces have proliferated on America’s college and community college campuses, with estimates citing more than 150 academic makerspaces ranging in size from 100 to over 1,000 active student members with costs in the thousands to millions of dollars to create these spaces. Educators argue that makerspaces democratize learning, engage students, and foster life-long learning, and research has shown that through engagement in engineering makerspaces students’ confidence, motivation, and technical skills increase. The workshop presenters have found, though, that one’s pathway into and persistence ... (continued)

Global overconsumption of natural resources outpaces planetary limits, with degrowth identified as a potential solution to achieve a sustainable steady-state economy. Engineers, traditionally central to economic growth, now face a critical choice: growth or degrowth? Experts on the mater, starting in the 1970’s and more recently with Canadian economist Pr. Peter A. Victor, modeled various escape scenarios and concluded that, given the short time scale, technologies alone cannot solve the problem. Green growth alone cannot do it. Thus, an economic degrowth is required to reach a steady-state econo ... (continued)

Session Description

Many of us are familiar with portrayals of engineering education as an intense and rigorous schooling experience, characterized by constant competition for grades and internships, punctuated by all-nighters, and fueled by caffeine. But at its extreme, engineering programs have been characterized by a “weed-out” bootcamp mentality that can lead to student burnout and disillusionment. Though we often discuss how to prepare the “engineer of tomorrow” to handle innovation, sustainability and ethics, today’s students speak of contending with overwhelming workloads that force them to cut corners and ad ...
