Session Description

This is a special session on using Case Clinic Methodology in faculty development. This session will model an actionable Case Clinic methodology (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UtbYtg4B5s2Eb8og_DFVT0sjNrWPimz8/view (see pgs 54 & 55)) for collectively solving individual challenges. Participants will have structured time to discern how to implement the technique on their campus

Speakers

1. Donald L Gillian-Daniel

   University of Wisconsin - Madison

   Dr. Gillian-Daniel (he/him) engages participants in learning how to teach more equitably and inclusively, and how to create more inclusive research spaces, both in person and online. He has worked locally, nationally, and internationally, and consulted with universities, National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded initiatives, for-profit companies, as well as national non-profits. He has led and co-lead multiple NSF-funded projects that focus on equity and inclusion in higher education, as well as in disciplinary and professional societies. He initiated the Case Clinic process and writing of the paper last year.

Session Description

Whiteness operates within academic settings, impacting curriculum design, pedagogical approaches, and student experiences. Engineering education has historically privileged the values, beliefs, experiences and perspectives of White male culture, particularly in the United States. While there has been substantial research into the masculinity of engineering, there has been comparatively little research about Whiteness. These systemic and normalized privileges have led to spaces exclusively cultivated for Whiteness to operate and thrive while thwarting the trajectory and progress of a dynamic engin ... (continued)

Session Description

This panel seeks to bring visibility to the intersecting identities of Asian (American)
queer individuals in engineering and foster dialogue around the challenges and
opportunities they encounter in educational and professional settings. Through personal
narratives and interactive discussions, this panel will explore how these marginalized
identities interact with the often rigid structures of engineering education. The goal is to highlight the lived realities of Asian (American) queer individuals in engineering, offering practical strategies for
institutional change.

College Industry Partnerships Division (CIP) Business Meeting

Session Description

The object of the 2025 Two Year College Division Hockey Hat-trick competition is to design and build an autonomous robot that can successfully score hockey goals with 5 pucks initially placed in specific locations on the play field. The robots have a maximum time of 120 seconds in each of their four allotted trials to deliver up to 5 different colored pucks to yellow and green goals, according to the point system described in the ‘Robot Time Trial Scoring’ section of the rules. The robot must begin within an 8” X 12” X 10” high size limit but may expand to any size during a trial.
