My project builds on work I have been involved in through the Integrated Teaching and Learning Program (ITLP), where we develop hands-on learning experiences that help students engage more directly with engineering tools, testing methods, and real-world problem-solving. For this project, I...]]></description><link>https://rachelsharpe8.wixsite.com/rswebportfolio/post/a-multistakeholder-model-for-curriculum-development</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69cc940dbc536ac286aa87c6</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 Apr 2026 04:52:15 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/705c8c_7fa067f312b3472db882414490e3799b~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_864,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Rachel Sharpe</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Belonging, Becoming, and Expanding What It Means to Be an Engineer]]></title><description><![CDATA[When I began my undergraduate engineering degree, I did not feel like I belonged. I sat in Intro to Digital and Analog Electronics feeling overwhelmed and out of place. I was one of two women in a class of seventy. I failed my first exam. I began to internalize the idea that I was a “slow learner.” I quietly wondered if engineering was meant for people who had been taking things apart since childhood....not someone like me, who was deeply people-oriented and empathetic.
