Adapting Design Thinking to Transform the Professional Development of Electrical Engineers in California's Central Valley

This project aims to adapt and implement evidence-based practices from two prior NSF Revolutionizing Engineering Departments (RED) awards. The project will generate new knowledge about how successful strategies can be effectively translated to a new institutional context, with the goal of broadening their impact to benefit all students. Specifically, the project will implement a design-thinking approach among the electrical engineering (EE) faculty to empower a collaborative curriculum redesign process. Additionally, to enhance the professional development and formation of electrical engineers, this adaptation will extend training beyond EE standard technical skills to include cross-disciplinary expertise, thereby enhancing our students' unique appeal to potential employers.
