concise, simple, and easy-to-use aids for helpingengineering students improve their engineering laboratory report writing skills,specifically preparing and presenting the results of engineering experiments. Thecollection of modules was designed and structured with scaffolding in mind. Earlyconcepts in writing lab reports are covered in the fundamental section for students new tolab report writing. More experienced students might skip these sections and be directed totopics in the intermediate or advanced sections. Module content could be used for just-in-time instruction when student questions or early performance indicates the need, or amodule could be incorporated as a whole lesson with progressive instruction in lab reportconduct and writing
emphasized inentrepreneurial programs [2].Entrepreneurially-minded learning (EML) is an emergent pedagogy that emphasizes discovery,opportunity identification, and value creation. As a teaching method, it can be applied to all areasof study and has been developed by hundreds of faculty members at colleges and universitiesacross the country [3], [4]. EML can also be infused to specific fields of engineering at any levelfrom freshmen to capstone courses [5], [6]. EML relies on real-world experiences; opportunitiesto practice information literacy–accessing, analyzing, and synthesizing information; expert-to-novice mentoring in the learning process [7]; and value sensitive design which results in universalvalue creation [8].

contribute to a sense of STEM identity, andthereby retention, in URMs [39], [52]. In addition to providing opportunities to socialize withother like-minded students, this would provide students with the opportunity to receivementorship from faculty members, which is tied to higher engineering persistence [32]. Asindicated in Figure 2, all participants expressed interest in interdisciplinary research.Similarly, we suggest that universities join forces with industry partners to offer and effectivelymarket interdisciplinary internships, especially towards URMs. Internships have been shown toincrease retention and graduation rates for engineering students [53], particularly URMs [54],making them a promising setting for interdisciplinary collaborations
such as mechanical andcivil engineering [1]. The tools of the engineer in students’ minds are often closer to a hammer ora wrench rather than a test tube or beaker, and thus their conception of engineering is oftenlimited at best [1]. This can get further complicated by the lack of interdisciplinarity exemplifiedin the engineering classroom. When engineering instruction is scaled at the university level, thereis the potential to lose interdisciplinarity as well as too much emphasis on limited topics relevantto the field of engineering [2]. When this happens, the curriculum may revert to limiting thecurriculum to the most popular images of engineering, fields such as mechanical, civil, andcomputer engineering [1].The goal of this work is to

–findings. In addition, weunderstand that the path to becoming an anti-racist and socially just researcher is not completelylinear; it is complex and nuanced as students challenge their ways of knowing. Regardless ofwhat the path looks like, or how circuitous it is, our goal remains to provide graduate studentswith the skills to become socially just engineering researchers. This paper outlines the process ofcreating a course for graduate students that helps prepare them for engineering research withequity and justice in mind. By outlining the course development, structural components, and theinitial findings from the first offering of the course within our 3-year longitudinal study, we hopeto provide other engineering departments with encouragement

engineering degrees should be interdisciplinary andmultidisciplinary. Skills related to new technologies, digitalization, and soft skills areessential. Engineering has been stereotyped as weak in soft skills (interpersonal skills,communication), so there should be a change in the tunnel mind of "what I do" tounderstanding what others do and how they relate.Therefore, everyone must understand and participate in how things and technology areevolving in the upcoming workforce.
