Once the fourappointments were scheduled, the interviews were carried out through Microsoft Teams; theaverage duration of the interviews was 45 minutes. The interview itself followed a specificprotocol, asking after all interview elements, including ethical elements (welcome andintroduction, signing of the informed consent, the interview itself, and farewell).

antibodystructure and function, students were asked to consider how to handle a batch of drug productthat had unexpected chemical modifications. In addition, they were asked whether they wouldadjust their decision based on where the chemical modification occurred in the molecule,considering the potential impact on safety and efficacy. While an easy answer could have beennot to use the batch if there was any chemical modification at all, this has practical implicationsin terms of lost productivity. Being able to consider nuanced situations where the material couldbe used safely and ethically allowed students to explore the grey area where decisions are oftenmade in industry.In homework assignments, students were asked to consider the relative importance of

Few otherstudies [3]-[6] have indicated that the use of solution manual adversely affects students’ learning.Others [7]-[8] have proposed new strategies for assigning homework problems.

This approach has been productive, particularly inintegrating engineering with math, science, and language arts. However, design is only oneaspect of engineering.

Although Iknew there were (and still are) other people on the team who understand the importanceof doing community-centered project work, I felt limited in my ability to “rock the boat”by my lack of experience and general confusion about EWB’s project process. Much ofwhat I’d read about sustainable, ethical development revolved around thoughtful andequitable community assessment and collaboration, so why did our project begin with aproblem statement handed down from EWB? As time went on, I became increasinglydissatisfied with our team’s efforts to understand the partner community and create anassessment plan. I was extremely frustrated and overwhelmed by the complexity of whatwe had to do

The cultural influence on the product should be incorporated into the conceptual stageof design. Students should carefully consider what aspects of the culture are going to be in-cluded in the product. Rather than being superficial additions to a product, cultural aspectsshould influence the design, usage, and purpose of the product. Culture and purpose should haveequal influence on the final design.Post-activity reflection and student work productsForty-six students in the

engineers interested inECD (extension). Traditional graduate engineering training often lacks education aboutunderstanding engineering as a socio-technical endeavor while graduate engineering research isoften for graduate advisors to be presented in professional conferences, published in academicjournals, and eventually contributing to the output of a research lab. Even when graduateengineering education is complemented with ancillary “social” topics like research ethics orprofessional communication, it often lacks a concerted effort to view engineering as a socio-technical endeavor, which, as we propose, is a necessary precondition for effective communityengagement. Even when the research topic could be relevant to communities or

innovative, and rapidly evolving professional ecosystem. Principal among these skillsare critical thinking, analytic reasoning, creativity, self-reflection, teamwork, cultural awareness,technical communication, and ethical literacy [37]. The demand for such skills in the modernworkplace has been heeded as a calling for the rehabilitation of oral assessments in STEM. Thisis because such a form of assessment has been argued, above all else, to encourage deeplearning—a requisite for the development of the 21st century skillset [38-40]. Of distinct value inthe digital era too are other benefits of oral assessment, such as its capacity to promote thedevelopment of communication and interpersonal skills in students [10, 32, 41], crucial forsuccess in the
processes of design, help students use science,mathematics, and computation, and encourage engineering ways of thinking and collaboration aswell as teamwork and ethics (American Society for Engineering Education, 2020; Moore et al.,2014). Engineering curricula that involve these indicators may then benefit learners more thantraditional teacher-centered approaches (Cunningham et al., 2020).Such engineering curricular materials are being implemented in a growing number of inclusiveclassrooms that involve students with IEPs together with students without IEPs. Yet, despite theimportance of engaging all students in high-quality engineering curricula, relatively littleresearch explores engineering projects in inclusive settings. Research that has
