The interaction between value incongruence and empowerment is criticalbecause it highlights a space where engineers might experience tensions that their engineeringeducation makes them ill-equipped to address [24] [38]. Notably, Chatman [63] postulates that aperson can successfully overcome potential adverse effects caused by person-organization valueincongruence—and even influence the organization’s values to be more like their own—if theyfeel empowered (i.e., perceive themselves as having self-efficacy and control) over the situation.We argue that these tensions

It is also important to investigate curriculumimplementation beyond teachers’ self-report measures because what is reported tends to differ fromwhat is observed in the classroom [20]. To avoid the repeated pattern of instructional practices thatdo not align with what was intended in the curriculum, it is important to consider teacher beliefs asthey enact the curriculum.

In the context of new research demonstrating the value of selfdetermination or autonomy for students in motivating learning, enhancing self-efficacy, andsupporting persistence, the relative inflexibility of engineering curricula stood out starkly. Withinindividual courses, studies have shown the “power of choice” to positively influence studentoutcomes, for example, when students may choose from among a menu of design projects[45, 46], and recommendations have been made for the design of self-determination supportiveengineering-student learning experiences [47, 48].
