semester. Most commonly, teams have multipleprojects, focused either around a common community partner or a common theme. For example,one team conducts multiple projects with the local branch of Habitat for Humanity, whereasanother team develops web-based database systems for a variety of different communitypartners. Each team has a historical average of 15 students and multiple projects, typically withfour to five students per project. Each team stands as an independent lab division, but with acommon curriculum, syllabus, and assessment. As a student-centered, project-based course,instead of serving as a lecturer, the instructors in each lab division serve as a coach or guide andare thus labeled as ‘advisors’.Early in the formation of EPICS, it

There could be other programs that include ST concepts ortools which are not included in this review as they had not explicitly mentioned these concepts intheir syllabus or learning outcomes of the program. Additionally, some programs might not havelabelled the concepts they teach as “Systems Thinking” specifically and used other terms such as“System Mapping” or

formal learning outcome in the syllabus for ME4723 Interdisciplinary CapstoneDesign. In some cases, the authors have judged there is sufficient overlap between learningoutcomes from multiple courses that they are listed together in one line in the table; for example,Outcome 6 is about working on a team, and the respective learning outcomes for the threecapstone courses and the VIP course are all listed in that cell. Regarding formal learningoutcomes, ME4723 has seven in rows 1-7. ECE 4723 and ECE 4823 have nine in rows 3,5,6,10-13, and VIP has three in rows 6,8,9. An outcome that is customary but not formal in the ECEcapstones is indicated by an “C”. An informal learning outcome implied by the nature of theproject is indicated by “EA” in the

students for assignment submission, reflection submission, self-ratingquizzes completion, and to share course material (e.g., syllabus, list of learning objectives,self-evaluation excel template, content videos, readings, solution keys).The course outcomes emphasized both technical and professional skills development. Thefour technical content modules in the course were: 1) conservation of mass, 2) fluid flow(pipes, fittings, and pumps for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids), 3) fan selection, and 4)thermal preservation while developing. Problem-solving skills development was a cross-cutting outcoming. The course also strongly emphasized students’ professional skilldevelopment. This emphasis complemented the development of students’ process
students in a given year repeat the class. All students are architectural engineering majors due tocourse controls limitations. Each week AE 202 has two lectures and two work session practicums. Lecturesare 75 minutes and are taught in a hybrid active and traditional format. Each practicum lasts 75 minutes andare geared towards just-in-time learning with heavy application of lecture materials. The following missionstatement is captured from the course syllabus. “AE 202 is intended to familiarize architectural engineering students to certain principles relevant to the profession, particularly building environmental control systems. This course is not intended to be mathematically intensive. More in-depth curriculum is offered
reproduce if we do notimplement inclusive practices with a critical lens.In relation to looking at barriers to inclusion, studying the phenomenon of power in thesociological sense has also gained traction in engineering education. Moving in this direction iscritical as we seek to understand barriers to diversity, equity, and inclusion. In this paper, we usethe Oxford Dictionary definition of power: the capacity or ability to direct or influence thebehavior of others or the course of events. Power as a phenomenon has become particularlyimportant in understanding structural systems of oppression that prevent major change to happenin diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.

While most of them focus either on course-based research projects oron undergraduate students’ experiences, few document authentic learningexperiences unfolding in real time among and between graduate students inresearch laboratories. Therefore, we situate our study in the context of authenticresearch experiences in

The course itselfentails weekly assignments posted on Canvas, in-class sharing of stories, and student participationin the community as responses to Canvas posts and stories presented. A summary of the course,taken from the syllabus, is as follows: Why are stories and narratives important for engineers? Because great engineers are great storytellers. They capture and tell the stories of the people

Included inthis initiative was the launch of the Mentoring Fellows Program, a student-led and faculty-advised group tasked with researching and improving mentorship at the college level. During thefirst year of the Mentoring Improvement Initiative, the fellows were tasked with focusing on therelationship between a graduate student and their committee head or primary advisor.The College of Engineering Mentoring Fellows, composed of three graduate students, twofaculty, and one staff member, prioritized analyzing existing data collected by the graduateStudent Experience in the Research University (gradSERU) online service.

rapidly during thiscentury, there have been few empirical studies beyond a single institution's case. Furthermore,many case studies have also been limited to documenting changes in course maps or the explicitcurriculum, i.e., what is overt in the documentation. In light of this, this research presentsfindings from a doctoral thesis that analyses educators’ and students’ experiences of the explicitand implicit—which is learnt from the organisation, intentions, attitudes and behaviours of theeducators, for example, and what is not taught respectively—to provide a richer picture of whatis understood and experienced as the intended and enacted curriculum.In general, findings suggest that accreditation systems (such as the Washington Accord
