question: How do the curricular, advising, and cohort-building elements of the RedShirt program impact the students’ experiences in the sophomore orjunior year at their university and in engineering? RedShirt students in the sophomore and junioryears responded to a semi-structured list of questions through focus group participation, withsome individual follow-up interviews.The thematic findings from sophomores and juniors include: academic strategies for respondingto more challenging classes; adjusting to new peer groups; developing identity as a minoritizedstudent; effects of advising interactions; and, dealing with living arrangements and other externalfactors. Additionally, themes from 2019-2020 include how students adapted to the

lecturer.The curriculum was implemented late in the semester, after the class was already comfortablewith each other and with large group discussions. The coursework for this class included severalactivities that are “outside” the typical technical engineering classrooms, such as using Twitter asthe classroom communication tool. Because of this, the students could have been more primed tobe receptive to the curriculum based on class experience so far. When the unconscious biascurriculum is positioned as pertinent to the engineering students’ development in professionalcommunication, the module could theoretically be implemented in any engineering classroom.For the curriculum to be successful, the facilitator must be willing to share their

. Such experiential transfer is likely differentthan knowledge transfer across disciplinary domains and may be enhanced by supporting thedevelopment of goal-based concepts. Furthermore, although this characteristic is oftendecomposed into discrete educational outcomes such as teamwork or communication, definingand assessing outcomes necessarily emphasizes skill within a domain rather than synthesis acrossdomains. Thus outcomes-based assessment may be counter-productive to developing soughtafter characteristics of graduates.Introduction and BackgroundThis paper examines one of the foundations of modern engineering education, defining andmeasuring educational outcomes, through the lens of philosophy, or “truth estimation” [1].

students’ ethical awareness. Both of thesepapers emphasized how instructors play a crucial role in communicating the relevance of ethicsto professional engineering identity, either by encouraging students to develop their own ethicalcode as a fundamental part of professional development or by leading them to believe that ethicsare ancillary to day-to-day engineering work (and thereby, as well, to engineering identity). Inthis respect, the current state of ethics education in engineering programs appears to be as much,if not more so, the result of HC as of formalized curricular content.One important outlier among our research set bears special mention for its alignment with ourgoals in the present analysis.
