On my way to Austin, TX for the KEEN National Conference. Who else will be there?

Thank you to everyone who attended our lunch and learn workshop today. We had great conversations about applying engineering design to lab course development. I enjoyed sharing our work over the past year to make BIOE415 more inclusive and valuable for the students. Thank you to the Kern Family Foundation and AE3 for supporting this event!

Handouts and box lunches placed on a table with a blue tablecloth.

Two men are sitting at desks watching a woman give a presentation in a classroom with two screens showing the same slide.

Excellent talk from Dr. Brooke Coley at #ASEEAnnual. Engineering and tech should absolutely take the #CCRRKT approach and #innovate with love.

I'm already thinking about how to integrate this in my #teaching and #research.

Three panels photo collage. The top left is a slide with the cover of "All About Love" by bell hooks and the quote "Love is the will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth. Love is as love does. Love is an act will, both an intention and an action." The top right is a slide with the CCRRKT approach to innovation. Care, commitment, respect, responsibility, knowledge, trust. The bottom shows a black woman speaking from a podium with a projected slide to her left.

Today, I'll be presenting a second paper at #ASEEannual. This paper summarizes lessons shared through The Grainger College of Engineering Lab & Design Community of Practice over the past three years. We hope it will help other instructors teaching undergraduate engineering laboratory courses. Stop by the @asee_nee Technical Session at 1:30 pm in E144 to learn more.

Reck, Jessica R TerBush, Caroline Cvetkovic, Holly M. Golecki, Christopher D. Schmitz, Katie Ansell, David Mussulman, Chandrasekhar Radhakrishnan, and Ilalee Harrison James, Affiliation: University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

@RebeccaEE just presented our paper about how we applied #EntrepreneurialMindset (EM), #HumanCenteredDesign (#HCD), and #UniversalDesignforLearning (#UDL) along with #inclusiveTeaching resources to improve a Bioinstrumentation #Laboratory course at #ASEEAnnual.

Presentation Title Slide with orange background. The text includes the title "Designing a Bioinstrumentation Lab for All Learners" and the authors: Hannah Rosene Conover Kimmel, Maya Sri Miriyala, Hanwen Liang, Megha Agrawal, Kaitlyn Tuvilleja, and Rebecca Reck. Along the bottom are logos for Engineering Unleashed, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and the I²Lab.

Getting ready for my first paper presentation at #ASEEannual. This paper is based on my work for my #KEEN Engineering Unleashed #Fellowship and the @i2lab this year! You can stop by C122 of the Convention Center at 3:30 pm PT to learn more.

Kicking off the summer by presenting a lightning talk at #LLTLC24. An early look about how I intentionally integrated #GenAI in my #undergraduate #biomedicalInstrumentation #laboratory course this semester.

Lab Tip 1: Magnetic Name Tags!

We wanted to make it easier for students and instructors to learn each other's names. So we found whiteboard magnets that fit on the front edge of the shelves in the lab. There were enough in the package for each student to have one all semester. And since we have metal lockers they double as locker labels between classes.

Introducing the Innovation in Instructional Laboratories (I² Lab)! @i2lab When I was named an Engineering Unleashed Fellow for 2023, it gave me the opportunity to launch my own research lab. Last semester I had three students working with me and this semester we've added two more. We are applying KEEN's entrepreneurial mindset (EM), design thinking, and universal design for learning (UDL) to make the BIOE415 laboratory space and course more accessible and inclusive. We are also looking at ways to make the course a safe space for students to learn from mistakes. More information: https://rebeccaee.com/research

Innovation in Instructional Laboratories (I² Lab) is a research group led by Dr. @RebeccaEE. The goal of the lab is to make instructional laboratories accessible and inclusive spaces for all students, allowing them to learn from hands-on STEM experiences, by creating resources for lab instructors that are informed by rigorous research in all aspects of laboratory course design.
