Comparative case studies and analyses were introduced with breakout room discussion to help students comprehend the interplay among science, technology and the2Cultivating “global competency” in a divided world formation of world communities in various socio-political contexts.2. Prompt-based Interview: Students conducted three sets of prompt-based interviews with their global partners through which to exchange learning outcomes and detect biases and stereotypes in cross-cultural communication.3. PECE Digital Infrastructure for collaborative homework and research data curation: The digital archival platform PECE (Platform for Experimental Collaborative Ethnography) was implemented in this course to facilitate epistemic

was independent, their research goals were largely personal, that they most often workedalone, and they were not reliant on others especially when they had a good sense of their tasks.Commenting on the extent to which their work was interdependent, a graduate student workingin lab A acknowledged collaborating on experiments with outside members but also consideredtheir work as being primarily independent. Another graduate student from the same lab agreedwith this perspective and explicitly disputed the suggestion that work was collaborative. A postdoctoral associate who had been with the lab for upwards of 10 yearsacknowledged that lab members collectively valued independence in other lab members and thatthis was one of the goals of the

Additionally, it is essential for the ABET-accredited programs from which they graduate to ensure that students hone and demonstratethese skills [1]. Anecdotal observations by engineering and engineering technology instructorsand prior research have shown that this is not the outcome observed by

students the “whys” and “hows” of the communities they want to serve. Theseexplorations lead graduate students in our Humanitarian Engineering and Science (HES)Program to crave for understanding complex relationships among knowledge, power,technology, and society, domains that, thus far, they have learned to see as separate in largepart due to effects of mindsets and ideologies in engineering education and how these shapethe organization of curricula. For example, many students beginning to work on engineering forcommunity development (ECD) crave understanding of how knowledges and technologies canbe transferred across different places to be used by communities addressing a similar problemto gain power in front of more powerful actors (e.g., how

and non-technical dimensions of engineering and transformingengineering education so that it more effectively prepares graduates for workplace success.Previous research suggested that interest in “Engineering and …” permeates ASEE and isconcentrated in but not limited to the division most closely associated with the topic. This paperdescribes a transferable method that combines quantitative and qualitative methods to identifyareas of convergence using papers published in the Leadership Development (LEAD) and theEngineering Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ENT) as evidence. These areas of convergenceare: (1) program design and effectiveness, (2) individual capabilities (including traits andthinking tools), (3) teams and groups, and (4
