to technology-richenvironments like makerspaces for traditionally underserved youth in engineering. Several pro-Makerspace actors purport that having experiences in such open-ended project-based settings canencourage engagement with engineering. However, as we know from prior work in the area,simply providing access to technology-rich spaces does not allow underserved youth to feelownership and belonging in both makerspaces and engineering environments. Additionally,formal and informal engineering education experiences do not center on preventing harm tocommunities and the environment in engineering work. Not only do future generations ofengineers need to reduce the harm caused by engineering and technology proactively, but harmreduction

highereducation settings, particularly for disabled students, who are often forgotten or less emphasizedin DEI efforts. In some disciplinary areas, such as in science, technology, engineering, and math(STEM) fields, disabled students are more likely to experience discrimination due to a reportedlymore competitive and less flexible and supportive environment. Academic librarians and othereducators can make a difference for these students by contributing to a more inclusive campusenvironment for disabled people in STEM by implementing universally accessible and inclusivepedagogy, resources, services, and spaces. Such efforts are more effective when they incorporatea disability justice perspective, which provides an intersectional framework to understand

An emphasis of this study was how FCA’s can be utilized as a pedagogical tool to representarchitectural, civil, electrical, mechanical, structural, and technological engineering disciplines.Recommendations for facility engineering practice and education is presented for application toengineering disciplines within academia. Globally, this is the first research attempt to linkengineering education and management to the practice of facility engineering. This research canbe used by facility managers, engineering service providers and engineering educators alike tofoster transparency with facility engineering practice, FCA

We then utilizethe intersection of queer theory and video game studies to present how the understandingof failure can help us reshape how it is approached in engineering. Finally, to illustrate theuse of these ideas, we present two theoretical examples of how failure can be enacted in theclassroom for a better understanding of engineering ethics.II.

practiced in real-world settings, educators need to constructopportunities for youth to learn about the socially engaged nature of engineering. Educators canseek to create just and equitable classrooms by cultivating in teachers a critical consciousness ofsocial justice and its role in engineering (Shuster & Giesemann, 2021). This consciousness canbe developed by tying the interactions of classroom life (i.e., talk, texts, technologies) to largerissues of engineering in society. This involves the recognition that engineering is mediated by‘ideologies, beliefs about learning’ and is encoded in ‘representations, spaces and socialpractices’ of the learning environment and of the broader societal context in which engineering ispracticed (Gravel et

Traditional engineering training, without greatercontext of healthcare and medical need, social inequity, and understanding of the applications inthe healthcare system, only allows engineers to create technology, which makes iterative stepstoward impact in healthcare. Indeed, many research and industry approaches rely on creatinguseful technology and then finding healthcare or clinical applications for that technology. Thisapproach has had many successes, but uptake in the medical community is slow and adaptation tomeet clinical need is often a barrier to entry into the market [7].
