and experience to make these decisions. Thoseconsidering pursuing a Ph.D. often do not know what their future will look like if they pursue acareer in academia. Engineering students, who can experience industry careers through internships,have no avenue to explore if a faculty position is right for them. As such, students frequently viewthe Ph.D. profession as just being a teacher and do not consider it due to this impression. Being afaculty member encompasses much more than students see through their university experience,from teaching requirements to scholarship and service.This paper posits the need for a shadowing program mimicking the structure of job shadowingprograms found in industry or commonly experienced in medical domains.

One page of this form relates to the senior capstone projector master’s thesis, and the form is completed in two stages. First, the student discusses theirtopic idea with their course instructor / advisor and then with one of the certificate programcoordinators. If approved, both faculty members sign the form with an initial title for the project.A written project proposal is included at this stage. Once the

decisions as wellas inclusion of the person or communities that will potentially be impacted by their work.To introduce the concepts of Design Justice in their courses, faculty members can start by readingthe Design Justice book [4], which contains many examples throughout the text. A case studycould be a good starting point, especially one that students can easily relate to. For example, thecase about the Spirometer, a device used to measure lung capacity. This was invented at a timewhen it was believed that race determined lung capacity, so the device was built with a racecorrection factor. When employers were sued for asbestos related lung-diseases caused due tolong exposure, Black employees would have to demonstrate worse lung function than
