Session Description

From pushes for more inclusive design processes, to ethics requirements in capstone projects, engineering faculty are increasingly called on to engage students in new ways of thinking that challenge the socio-technical divide. These new ways of thinking often draw from methodologies common in the humanities, and can be labeled as sociotechnical systems thinking. But with the humanities traditionally siloed from STEM subjects, how can faculty support students in reaching these new ways of thinking in engineering courses? Integrating the arts into the engineering classroom can be extremely effectiv ... (continued)

Election of new officers and other division business.

Session Description

This interactive, participatory roundtable session will provide a lens through which attendees can view their own development as peer reviewers, understanding common challenges (e.g., bias, imposter syndrome, overly critical or vague feedback, inappropriate feedback) as part of their growth as scholars. By leveraging the frameworks of improvisational theatre (“improv”), Theatre of the Oppressed, and Critical Response Process, we will evolve the narrative of peer review from being a gatekeeping mechanism toward a way to promote scholarly growth in others. Improv techniques introduce active listeni ... (continued)
