applicability of Tuckman’s model in student engineering multiculturalteams, several lessons are valuable for instructors to consider. Firstly, it is significant to providea welcoming and supportive learning space to allow student to learn in and with teams.Secondly, instructors could cultivate a positive environment, and growth-oriented and equity-minded protocols to acknowledge the possibility of team conflicts and prepare to suggest conflictresolution strategies. Similarly, instructors also want to encourage students to trust theirteammates and allow them to improve. Lastly, instructors could guide students to reflect on theirteamwork experiences to identify the areas to enhance and work on them. References

supports that students whose identities have been traditionally excluded in engineering (suchas LGBTQ+, women, and Native American and Black), it is important to develop an assessmentwith this use in mind. Therefore, the purpose of this work-in-progress is to describe theMentoring Social Capital assessment and initial validation studies, with particular emphasis onconcerns of fairness. We ask the following questions: 1. To what extent are student interpretations of items for the Mentoring Social Capital instrument consistent with how the assessment questions are intended to be interpreted? 2. To what extent do experts agree that the items for the Mentoring Social Capital instrument are aligned with the theory?Theoretical

essential for developing an agile and adaptable mind in the 21st century, wheretechnology is ubiquitous. The importance of CT is reflected in the growing interest in exploringits potential role in various fields, including engineering. While CT in engineering education hasbeen discussed in previous research, there needs to be more understanding of how CT may differin the context of different engineering disciplines. Rich qualitative research on how studentsengage in CT and engineering can show how they can support each other [5]. Research has beenconducted to investigate the implementation of CT in middle school education internationally.The studies emphasize the importance of CT in interdisciplinary education to foster students'critical thinking
programs have not given muchrecent consideration to the appropriateness of this requirement. While there has been muchdiscussion of other aspects of engineering education, including the incorporation into thecurriculum of more “soft-skills”, class delivery modes, and capstone design project requirements,there has not been much discussion of the appropriate role for technical electives. This issomewhat surprising considering the desire of many programs and universities to reduce thenumber of credits required for an engineering degree in an effort to increase graduation rates,reduce time-to-graduation, and decrease student debt loads. With this in mind, the primarypurpose of this paper is to prompt discussion of the purpose of technical electives

O BJECTSTo integrate the above ideas into the classroom space, we can capitalize on some of the othermore recognizable configurations of learning for engineers before asking them to venture intothe more unfamiliar territory of ethics and philosophy: project-based, immersive learning.Engineers are usually comfortable working in teams and collaborating to solve complicatedproblems – relying on each other’s expertise to fill knowledge gaps and bounce ideas. Theclassroom can be broken into small teams of 3 -5 students to encourage these skills and situ-ate the game in a more comfortable structure. While this interactive lab idea has been framedwith undergraduate students in mind, we encourage playful adaptation for other spaces3 . 3

-35.Limitations and Future WorkThe study described above was conducted by individuals with primary ties to industry, ratherthan a background or degree in engineering education; therefore, unique limitations and biasesmay exist within the data sets that are less common in studies conducted by typical engineeringeducators. Major ones are described below.The survey was designed with the engineering field, particularly that of industry, in mind asstudies show that 75% of engineers work in industry or government in 2018 [21]. However, non-engineers, those who have been disengaged from the engineering field for some time, or thosewho work distantly with engineers, may have taken the survey and found the questions to bemisleading or confusing.

In this paper, we share resources and teaching approaches we havedeveloped and used to help equip engineering students with this much-lacking knowledge.Introducing science-policy in traditional engineering curricula is a challenging task because onefirst needs to convince engineering faculty that policy-literacy is an integral part of engineeringeducation. Then, introducing science-policy in engineering is a complex task for both studentsand instructors. To date, we have chosen materials and teaching approaches assuming lack ofpolicy awareness among senior undergraduate and graduate engineering students. Despiteteaching with that lack of policy awareness in mind, we have witnessed student struggles withadapting to
