It's always rewarding to see how much students have grown over the semester! Here are photos from our two most recent showcases. One showcase is for the course "ENGR 2301: Exploring Citizenship in Engineering Contexts", where students showcase their semester-long inquiry projects focused on meaningful, community-focused engineering solutions. The other is the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) showcase that is designed to highlight outstanding design projects within FE courses. More photos and info on our website!

Our Integrated Business and Engineering Honors Program senior capstone students always enjoy getting out of the classroom and into the field — most recently with Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc. to deep-dive into their capstone project with sponsors Christopher Stoneburg, Kevin Chase and Chase Hooley. Thank you to our sponsors for giving us a behind-the-scenes tour of the engineering center.

Meet Tawhida Kabir, a new PhD student in our department! Originally from Bangladesh, she was born and brought up in Dubai. She moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico six years ago, where she received her Bachelors and Masters in Electrical Engineering from the University of New Mexico. Her research interests are in improving engineering program landscapes for international graduate and undergraduate students. Outside of school, she enjoys video editing, painting with gouache and taking pictures of sunsets. This picturesque autumn was captured at the Jemez Mountains, in between Albuquerque and Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Meet Fatemah Shehab, one of our new PhD students here in Engineering Education! Originally from Kuwait, Fatemah earned her bachelor's in Electrical Engineering from the University of Dayton and her master's in Electrical Engineering from Ohio State. Her research focuses on technology use and development in engineering education and engineering education research. Fun fact: she learned to ride a bike just two years ago! Pictured here is Fatemah in front of the Buckingham Palace when she visited her brother in London. Give her a warm welcome if you see her around!

This week we kicked off the new school year with our annual orientation day! We had the chance to celebrate:
3,000 students impacted each semester
12 new faculty & staff
10 new PhD students
We're excited to see what this year brings!

Professor Ashouripashaki led the "Empowering Engineering Educators" workshop at ASEE, equipping faculty with tools to integrate entrepreneurial mindset into technical courses — making innovation and impact central to engineering education.
She also co-authored a paper on applying backward design in the IBE Capstone Project, alongside Kristina Kennedy and Paul Reeder, where students work with NASA tech to develop real-world business solutions. This interdisciplinary approach blends engineering and business to prepare students for today’s evolving workforce.
Thank you to Professor Ashouripashaki and her collaborators for advancing how we teach the engineers of tomorrow!

Congratulations to Dr. Jameka Wiggins on successfully defending her dissertation: “Investigating Critical Consciousness in Engineering: Tracing Faculty Development, Meaning Making, and Practice.”
Her work sheds light on how faculty can cultivate more inclusive, reflective teaching practices — especially in the face of shifting institutional and societal challenges. Drawing from the LEGACY Scholars Program and its evolution into the Fellow to Faculty program, Dr. Wiggins offers powerful insights for supporting historically marginalized postdoctoral scholars in engineering. Well done, Dr. Wiggins!
