must acquire throughout their training. Problem-solving, communication, ethics,and critical and systemic thinking are examples of skills that allow the formation of aprofessional more suited to the job market [4], [6], [7]. In addition, classes based on thesedifferent approaches ensure a more significant relationship with the labor market and currentproblems, making the study more attractive and making the student visualize his actions in aprofessional future [8].However, this only occurs in some universities with engineering courses in developingcountries, such as Brazil [5], [9]. In these environments, teaching is traditional, using anexpository class with a blackboard and slide presentation [10]. Different authors approachthis problem as a
academic success,is only connected with specific outcomes, i.e., scores/performance in a task. For a well-roundedand ethical education, an individual must identify with what they are learning, see the value intheir learning outcomes and acquire significant knowledge. From the perspective of an educator,self-efficacy is a critical construct that helps students progress through the curriculum by passingprerequisite courses, while self-concept drives the student forward towards achievement of agreater goal of graduating as an engineer.Table 2 consists of the variables condensed from table 1, but re-categorized into which constructthis review has deemed as appropriate.

use of student-centered teaching practices [7].Another factor that appears to be distinctive in the context of Canadian engineering schools andpostsecondary education in general is the increase of teaching-stream faculty members within theacademic workforce over the past two decades. Unlike the United States, where nearly 70 percent of faculty members have teaching as their primary responsibility [8], the full-time,continuing faculty appointment with the primary responsibilities limited to teaching-relatedactivities was introduced in the early 2000s to research-intensive Canadian universities, out ofeducational, ethical, and pragmatic considerations [9, 10]. These teaching-stream facultymembers are known for having a positive impact on the

Figure 1: An example of how to write an IDP for research and scientific skills, taken from the Purdue University College of Engineering Individual Development PlanThe third step is for the student to meet with their PhD advisor to discuss the IDP and identifyguidelines for their relationship. Brief paragraphs are included for what makes a good researchmentor and mentee to remind each party about honesty, communication, and mutual respect(Figure 2). During this meeting, the student and advisor should answer each of the seven sets ofquestions to
young folks who are coming to [university] before graduating high school to have some kind of confidence based on the fact that they are smart enough to do that, like that's pretty incredible. But [S2] obviously didn't feel that way.” (S4)S1 discussed how there’s several ways a student can be more competent than others and howthese play into power dynamics of how students view and treat one another, “I think another part in there is competency, whether a student is more competent than another, whether it's in their engineering, or even their own, English or verbal skills or their work ethic, you know. I think there are a lot of, power dynamics there in play where you know, peers can see things differently and
expected to do the work to improve inclusion. The students recommended the creation of aCenter for Engineering Diversity, structured project and lab teams to prevent isolation, strongeralumni/ae relationships, more formal mandatory training for faculty and TAs, teaching empathyand ethics in the first year, and altering syllabi to underline the value of DEI thinking. Thestudents, without faculty intervention, came up with many of the same solutions as have beenseen in the literature [17].MethodsThe complete survey administered to each class at the beginning of the term can be found inAppendix A. This will be referred to as the Before survey for the remainder of the paper.Surveys were distributed via campus email at the beginning of the Fall 2021
services to meet students’ learning needs,but they also need to make opportunities for faculty to explore their teaching and researchinterests and priorities. In addition, HEIs need to prepare students for society so they can notonly meet employer needs, but also social, economic, and environmental needs of society.Students need to progress as individuals in an intellectual and ethical way, and some professionalcompetency frameworks may not address these dimensions. Many HEIs are responsible for andhave a mission to grow and produce citizens, not just competent employees. HEIs also need toconsider administrative structures, services, and resources available to pursue competency-basedlearning, which may differ from human resource structures in
research and design (i.e. apprenticeship style) projects have naturally been theprimary avenues for student research, as they remain the major modes of quantitative explorationin STEM professional and academic fields [12]. However, there are other presumed merits to theresearch interview approach utilized here in the STEM environment: ● It forces students to confront the impact of science and engineering on a broad population. ● It can “humanize” STEM work, connecting data to people. ● It strengthens soft skills like communication, socialization, and ethics. ● It provides additional training beyond lab or workshop attributes. ● It familiarizes students with government policies that intersect with their
