    The Hidden Curriculum in Engineering Education and Beyond with Dr. Idalis Villanueva Alarcón.

    Dr. Villanueva Alarcón shares with us how she arrived at hidden curriculum as a theoretical framework, how she’s adapted it for engineering education and the ways she continues to extend this very insightful framework that has roots in sociology, psychology, and disability studies.  Name Drop Drs.

    Enacting resistance and activism: Dr. Donna Riley speaks to us about mechanisms for traversing the U.S. academic landscape amongst the unrest

    Given the changing landscape of the academy across the U.S. driven in large part by the attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion, unrest on campuses, and the legislation targeting high education we were moved to invite an activist in engineering education - Dean Riley to talk about how to activate the activist within us. We had a candid conversation about living an activist life but also some inspiring words to disrupt the paralysis so many are feeling given the current climate in the academy. Join us as we hear Dean Riley’s life of activism and her call to us all to tap into our inner activist.   Name Drop Nuclear Nuevo México Colonialism and the Effects of the Nuclear Industrial Complex on Nuevomexicanos Myrriah Gómez (Author)   Kelly Cross Cindy Rottmann (University of Toronto) Brooke Coley - Center for RARE Justice Darshan Karwat - Activist Engineering Idalis Villanueva Andrea Haverkamp Joey Valle Corey Bowman Karl Smith Stephanie Adams Gregory Cajete - Native Science, Look to the Mountain Reference Links The Routledge International Handbook of Engineering Ethics Education Inclusive Mindset Report Latin* Students in Engineering

    Reflections on the Season

    What a season it has been! After completing our first season as hosts of Research Briefs 2.0, we spent some time reflecting on the themes of the season and what and who inspired us this year. Thank you for listening! We look forward to sharing more scholars and scholarship with you in the Fall. In the meantime, go back and listen to the amazing scholars we hosted this year. Be safe and rest up!

    Engineering Education Research (EER) Centers as Incubators with Dr. Cindy Atman Pt. 2

    This two part episode is a continuation of our conversation with Dr. Cindy Atman. In part one, she shared an intriguing history of engineering education and the role of centers in establishing the field (Pt. 1). But in part two she shares the wisdom she has gained related to leadership in engineering education. If you are: 1) considering establishing an engineering education department;  2) engaging in the arduous process of looking for engineering education departmental leadership; or 3) considering a leadership role in engineering education yourself this episode is a must. It was an absolute joy to engage with Dr. Atman. I hope you enjoy her wisdom, quotes, and insights as much as we did.  “Centers are an important way to address specific challenges that can be contextualized, …ways to connect with other parts of campus or institutions, …or a national resource that everybody can draw on.”

    Community Engaged Scholarship with Dr. DeLean Tolbert Smith, centering Black family studies, engineering design knowledge in the classroom and informal settings

    Dr. Smith shares with us her full-circle journey to and through engineering education. Dr. Smith is a community-engaged scholar that leverages asset-based frameworks along with humility to learn with the families she engages with for her work. She reminds us the importance of an ethic of care when designing and executing research.  “You have to position this work very carefully. So anyone that is doing community-engaged scholarship, you have to be very thoughtful in how you write about what you do on your CV or communicate it to your colleagues.” Name drop: Ann Ishimaru, Natalie King
