1. Dr. Daniel W Baker PhD P.E.

Session Description

Integrated, multidisciplinary, and interdisciplinary engineering degree programs exist in many forms at academic institutions across the country. The rise in these programs comes in large part to the increased awareness by and demand from industry to solve complex interdisciplinary problems. Some programs exist entirely within a college of engineering and cross engineering disciplines, while others are co-taught or co-offered across both engineering and non-engineering disciplines and colleges. Some are combined with first year engineering and engineering education doctoral programs, while others ... (continued)

5. Dr. Shawn S. Jordan

   Arizona State University

   Shawn Jordan is the Founding Interim Director of the new School of Integrated Engineering (SIE) and an Associate Professor of Engineering in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University. SIE includes degree programs that bridge disciplines, communities, corporations, and countries and include both engineering and non-engineering collaborators. He collaborates with communities to conduct use-inspired research fusing STEM with arts and cultures to create novel products, experiences, and outcomes that meet societal needs.

6. Dr. Emilie A Siverling

   Minnesota State University, Mankato

   Emilie Siverling is an Associate Professor at Iron Range Engineering (IRE) in the Department of Integrated Engineering at Minnesota State University, Mankato. She started teaching at IRE in 2019, when it began using a work-based learning approach to project-based learning. IRE is an upper division engineering program where students transfer from community colleges across the nation, and complete their B.S. in Engineering while working in paid engineering co-op
   positions. Emilie’s research is in the engineering education field, focusing on pre-college and undergraduate education.

7. Dr. Timothy M Wick

   University of Alabama at Birmingham

   Timothy Wick is Professor and Founding Director of the Engineering Design program at University of Alabama at Birmingham. The engineering design program provides engineering students multiple mentored opportunities to practice hand-on, real world design/build project experiences by matching student teams with external design project clients. The ABET accredited program trains students to be a design engineer with an integrated skills set across product development, project management and engineering problem solving to create functional and elegant products and processes. Dr. Wick is a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.

8. Dr. Stephen Secules

   Florida International University

   Stephen Secules (moderator) is Director of First-Year Engineering and Integrative Engineering at University of New Mexico. He is also an Associate Professor in the Mechanical Engineering department. His education research focuses on equity and culture in undergraduate engineering education and methodologies to bring about insight and innovation in education. He co-founded the Equity, Culture, and Social Justice Division and serves as an Associate Editor of the Journal of Engineering Education.

Session Description

What is equity and how do we put it into action? What types of knowledge(s) do we value in engineering and how does colonization impact our values? What other ways of knowing can we incorporate into our classrooms? In this workshop we explore these questions using an equity in action framework and reflect on how we can broaden ways of knowing in our teaching and learning. We will begin with defining equity and decolonization for those unfamiliar or unsure of these concepts, followed by exploring an Indigenous framework of knowledge. As a community we will brainstorm ways we could begin to incorpo ... (continued)

For those interested in: Broadening Participation in Engineering and Engineering Technology

Session Description

This interactive panel invites educators at all levels of experience with game-based learning to explore, share, and expand their approaches to integrating games into the classroom. Designed as a “meet you where you are” session, the panel features a spectrum of practitioners, from those experimenting with small, game-inspired modules to those who have built entire courses around game-based frameworks. Through brief talks and small-group discussions, participants will explore what works, what’s challenging, and how to grow their own approaches. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with ... (continued)
