Interwoven through theworkshop were topics such as universal design for learning and outcomes-based backwards design.Faculty participants worked both as a whole group and as course-based teams to begin the redesignprocess.

Particularly manufacturing industries are becoming ever moreconcerned with environmental issues as modern socio-economic systems depend heavily on themsince it greatly impacts worldwide development and progress. This trend is anticipated to continuebecause of the increased demand for consumer products from a growing global population withrising living standards [3].

Traditional engineering curriculum typicallyattempt to blend theoretical knowledge, following the disciplines of mathematics and thesciences, with practical skills. Mechanical engineers, for example, might take courses inmathematics, physics and design supplemented with laboratory experiences teachingprogramming, machining, and Computer-Aided Design (CAD). The results of these curricula areengineers with a broad understanding of many subjects, with some applied skill sets. However,the number and complexity of courses required for successful establishment in industry makesengineering programs the longest programs in universities (as measured by credit hour).

Part of this study was exploring the possibility of consciousnessraising for students and faculty in their understanding of power.The participants were recruited from the College of Engineering at a large public university inthe Pacific Northwest. Recruitment emails were sent to various mailing lists and students wererecruited through large courses. The final set of participants included two faculty members, onegraduate student who had served as an

While such acourse seemed heavy for undergraduate students, it had the most promising results. Studentslearned an advanced subject usually taught at graduate schools, while it was completely hands-on. Students performed both independent and dependent work in the class. As a result, theyobtained enough knowledge to start working in the semiconductor industry. When the instructordiscussed with the experts in the industry, they stated that the industry required engineers at alllevels. While engineers with a master’s or doctoral degree would work on the research

Conclusion6.1 Response to Research ObjectiveThe problem is that engineering students’ exposure to practicing soft skills, such as problem-solving, critical thinking, innovation, and creativity, is often limited to capstone courses

For example, Black/African American women face the stereotypeof being "aggressive" (McGee, 2016) and express low levels of feelings of belonging withinSTEM fields (Ong, 2005), factors that ultimately negatively impact mental health (McGee,2020). However, insight into disparities based on intersectional identities in STEMentrepreneurship requires research designs that integrate these broader contexts ofentrepreneurship and STEM higher education.

Accreditation boards across North America havecalled for engineering educators to equip engineering graduates with leadership capabilities toallow engineers to take on a more prominent role in technological, societal and businessadvancement [1], [2].
