Many pedagogical tools thataim to establish connections between the engineering curriculum and industry practices havebeen investigated and implemented with varying degrees of success, such as project basedlearning (PBL) [2,3] competency based learning (CBL) [4], and inductive teaching [1]. However,adjustments to the curriculum to support these alternate pedagogical tools may still overlook theformat of the corresponding assessment items.

Students with disabilities are often ignored in STEM+CS education research (e.g.,Villanueva et al., 2012), and science contexts are

The remainder of theanalyses focused on gender.Similar rates of persistence existed for women and men, even though when they began theprogram there were statistically significant difference between mean scale scores for freshmenwomen and men on some measures of self-efficacy. For the Self-Efficacy Scale II, t(66) = 2.63,p = .011; Career Success Scale, t(66) = 3.03, p = .004, and Math Scale t(66) = 2.49, p = .015,men averaged higher scores than women (see Table 2 for averages). Although men scored higherthan women on the Self-Efficacy I Scale and Coping Self-Efficacy Scale, these results were notsignificantly different. Women and men scored similarly on the Inclusion Scale.

This simple scenario intrigued the following two-prong issues for engineeringeducators: 1) what should be the underpinnings/justification of the decision-making process of anengineer? 2) when and in what context should an engineer learn these decision-makingprocesses? Engineers should anchor their decisions on ethical/moral basis, and learn and practicethese ethical-decision-making skills in their early professional development phase.Undergraduate education is one of the first formal places in the professional development of anengineer. Engineering students would be able to far-transfer ethical decision-making skills intheir industry career if they learn and practice in context. Capstone design

All of this indicates a critical need forcreating inclusive learning and workspaces. Diversity impacts not only the industry’s culture, buthow it can serve its clients and stakeholders through its products or services. There is clearevidence in structural engineering of a business case for diversity as it cultivates creativity andinnovation [3], yet DEI often remains a missing piece in fields of higher education related to thebuilt environment.Current State of CurriculaAt the authors’ institution, the College of Architecture & Environmental

Company Reputation/Longevity: To equip students with a measurement tool that they will use throughout their academic career and after, the mobile studio lab instrumentation needs to be robust and of high quality for long-term reliability. It is imperative to choose a company that can supply the volume of devices required for students year-after-year, and has a stature that makes it likely the company will exist for the foreseeable future. This latter aspect is critical to ensure adequate technical support is available and to ensure the selected mobile platform will be available for future students. 6. Measurement
