Students mustengage with the project from a perspective of blended boundaries that meaningfully engages withboth the facts and values of a project – values which must be considered from the perspectives ofall peoples. This view is not one traditionally held by engineering systems, which often embracetraditional power roles, making determinations on who is worthy of being served [8, 23-25].Best practices in curriculum design must include students questioning how different contexts andperspectives impact the boundaries of a system and its priorities [6, 7, 13, 14, 20, 22, 23, 25, 26].To evaluate these concepts properly, previous research has determined a significant gap adequatelycapturing students' attitudes [6, 7, 13, 14] and

Frugal Engineering can be defined as a process that reducesproduct/process/project complexity with a focus on customer need and affordability. Some universitieshave already seen the need for frugality, as in the Frugal Innovation Hub at Santa Clara University(https://www.scu.edu/engineering/labs--research/labs/frugal-innovation-hub/), and the Social E Lab atStanford University where complete projects as part of a program in Design for Extreme

those communities impacted by their work, sotheir training must meet international standards to ensure success. The Washington Accordsets the criteria for competent and future-ready engineering graduates, emphasizing lifelonglearning, problem-solving, research, engineering practices, and digital skills. However,studies reveal disparities between current engineering education and the evolving needs of thefield. This study aims to identify perceptions held by industrial engineering students,graduates, and faculty members at a private university in Chile on the existing gaps in theirtraining, compared to the competencies outlined in the Washington Accord. Aiming to reducethese through a transformation in the teaching practice of industrial
engineering, research [7]-[9] recommends utilizing amore empathy-based or human-centered approach to engineering design processes, centeringengineering as a helping profession, cultivating students’ self-efficacy, and connecting students’interests in engineering. With this in mind, we reviewed curricular resources that aligned withour school’s mission, attended to best practices for advancing girls in engineering, and cultivatedstudents’ engineering habits of mind [10]. Based on convincing evidence, e.g. [11]-[12], weselected resources from the EiE curriculum to complement our CS&E curricular scope andsequence.Relevant to this paper, an example of a selected EiE module is a chemical engineering unit.

Such a disparity in experience and support may dissuade female studentsfrom pursuing an engineering profession after graduation, given the crucial opportunityinternships provide for students to learn and practice key skills for their future employment [57]. The findings of this study also suggest that the role of female supervisors in the civilengineering workplace is critical for Asian women to share their concerns about difficulties andaspire to be like them. This study found that female supervisors were particularly helpful fordeveloping career interests. Previous research suggests that in order to be inspired by a rolemodel, one must be able to identify one's future self with that role model [33
the National Academies, the IM STEM program identified spacesfor institutions to serve as the hub of inclusive mentoring, not only for academic spaces on campus, butspaces away from campus where students and recent graduates enter the engineering profession.RationaleAs the student population enrolled higher education institutions continues to diversify, a deepunderstanding and widespread adoption of inclusive mentoring practices that promote student success isneeded. The purpose of the IM STEM is to expand, elevate, and influence conversations about effectivementoring among communities of STEM faculty, graduate students, and government and industryprofessionals committed to developing a strong, diversified STEM workforce.

They recommend a slow approach of practicing one new technique or strategy at atime and that practitioners collaborate with colleagues with similar interests; communities ofpractice are helpful for instructors new to UDL to find support and encouragement as well asideas for ways to utilize the UDL framework [54], [87]. Additionally, research about UDL anddisability continually offer insights on how to improve and evolve recommended UDL practices,making it important for practitioners to regularly learn more and consider how to best support allstudents.

The need to diversify engineering faculty to create aholistic “global engineer”, is best highlighted in the book Educating the Engineer of 2020 thatwas published in 2005: Student demographics, with greater diversity from the perspective of academic preparation, career aspirations, and ethnic background that require approaches to learning, teaching, and research designed intentionally to respect (and celebrate) this diversity [9].Based on the literature, when discussing the addition of women to faculty, the course designschanged to include interdisciplinary work and mentorship [3

ethical considerations or virtues are in conflict. Imagine a situationwhere a minor design flaw, which has an astronomically small probability of causing damage(~0%), is identified just after the construction of a multi-story building. The building is stillunder the contractor’s warranty and addressing this flaw will cost the construction companyquite a bit of money to fix. In a situation like this, it might be unclear how to proceed.Regardless, it is the person, who has phronesis, that is best suited to weigh the considerations ina method that generates concern for everyone and to integrate these considerations in a way thatis valuable to everyone [25]. This is exactly what we need in our engineers when it comes toethical decision making
