). I havelimited experience with qualitative research, and kept this in mind while interperting the resultsof our study. I tend not to think about how my identity is affecting my interpretation of datawithout prompting. As a non-engineer, educator, and social scientist, my biases are that empathyand critical thinking are integral to the development of deep-thinking. Career-focused beginningstudents are unlikely to take a critical look at the field of they have just entered, and need to seeexamples of this. I attempted to assist with data analysis and interpretation as the project hasbeen implemented.Michael Laver: I am a forty-nine year old white, cis-gender male from Indiana, currently livingin Rochester, New York.

engineering - and the health technologies eventually designed.Whose care? Understanding “unmarked users” in medical technology designAdoption of new medical technologies is happening at breakneck speed, from decision-makingalgorithms to electronic health records to personalized medicine [2]. Much of this developmentoccurs under a universalist framework that considers a device made for one patient will likelywork for all patients. This is what Constanza-Chock refers to as designing for the “unmarked”user, whose gender, race, class, and age are not specified [3]. Yet in the minds of the engineer,this user likely has a certain set of assumed normal characteristics: English language proficient,with access to broadband internet, literate, with a normally

Leydens and Lucena present aframework in their book Engineering Justice [5] that establishes methods for integrating criteriain courses such that the human factors rampant in engineering practice are present in engineeringeducation. This was the missing link for me when I was a student preparing to apply forinternships, jobs, and try to formulate an idea in my mind concerning how a career inengineering might materialize and be fulfilling.Research approach and rationaleThe focus of the field observations in this study was the creation of knowledge through themutual understanding of the instructional faculty and students within

Design InterventionFaculty from the mechanical engineering and entrepreneurship programs initiated theintervention by actively recruiting entrepreneurially minded students from non-engineeringmajors using email messages and in-person appeals. Both recruitment methods target businesscourse sections and entrepreneurship clubs likely to contain interested parties. Theentrepreneurial students receive the engineering students’ design work (engineering drawings,3D CAD models, etc.) at the close of the semester. Prior to commencing their projects and at theclose of the projects, engineering students working on entrepreneurial projects receive invitationsto take the affective capacities survey.

For case study, the surveyed literature was used to assessknowledge and understanding, perception, and social communication [12, 23].Implication of the study The scoping review shows that most online lab studies focus on the use of online labs tofacilitate knowledge and understanding. This limits our understanding of how engineering labscan be used to facilitate many of the learning outcomes outlined in Brinson’s framework oflearning outcomes. Future studies may explore how online labs can be used to promote otherlearning outcomes that the KIPPAS suggests. Also, future studies could conduct the reliabilityof the identified assessment tools and other assessment tools such as model design andconstruction, mind and

She further explained, So as opposed to really trying to force and change my mind about my technical side. I'm just gonna like lean into what I'm great at and do that, because that's what makes me happy. (…) If I could have went back and had a best case scenario, if I could have had a mentor or someone who like trained me on how to be good at both, as opposed to having to pick a path, I think that would have kept me staying in engineering as opposed to now I'm leaning into what people said I was good at and I'm going to Business School.
