Title of Submission
Submission Abstract
On the K-State Polytechnic campus in Salina, KS, five faculty members have identified a project or assignment having a connection with human diversity in a course they teach. These projects and assignments were originally presented in a panel session at the 2013 American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) – Midwest conference.
The panelists were the following faculty members:
Becky DeGreeff (Communication), Fred Guzek (Marketing & Business), Jung Oh (Chemistry), Greg Stephens (Business), and Bill Genereux (Computer Technology). The assignments presented included an activity in speech class that addresses racial and economic privilege, an international marketing exercise that follows a French pop singer through different European countries, a student‐made periodic table of the elements, the use of storytelling in business, and a Kansas black history month research/poster project.
Posters for these assignments were originally created for the ASEE conference and will be available for display at the 2016 Institute / Diversity Summit.
