skills,interpersonal skills, discussions of ethics, and other key competencies. Classroom topics can beimmediately applied, and course learning outcomes (including a research poster presentation)encourage students to disseminate their work. In addition to the regular faculty supervisor,CREATE-U students were also assigned a graduate student mentor in their lab.In this paper, we intend to present our evaluation of the aspects of the program outside of the twocourses. Our research questions were: 1. How effective were course-based interventions to increase undergraduate engineering student understanding of and interest in research? 2. How effective were attempts to create equitable and broad-based admissions into an

- cluding long-term international assignments in Tokyo and Paris. These roles have provided a keen appre- ciation for the cross-disciplinary aspects of an engineering career in today’s global environment, includ- ing such things as business acumen, cultural sensitivity, communications, ethics, logistics, manufacturing and technology infrastructure. James’ doctoral research involved understanding the unique challenges of First-Generation Students and designing systems and pedagogy to remove unintentional barriers. James resides in Seattle with his wife and their daughters. James is a Certified Flight Instructor, and in his free time trains pilots through the Boeing Employee Flying Association at Renton Municipal

BehavioralResearch Ethics Board at the University of British Columbia (UBC). Participants were recruitedthrough professional networks. Recruitment was aimed at participants of diverse genders andethnicities. Participants were selected in their 3rd or 4th year of study as they would likely havehad more opportunities to participate in co-curricular student groups. Participants were offered a$30 gift card as compensation for the time taken to complete the study. Eight participants wereinterviewed in total. Following interviews, transcripts were produced and analyzed usingthematic coding.Results and DiscussionAmong the eight student leaders interviewed, three identified as male, four as female, and one astransgender. Of the three domestic students, one student

Companies including Microsoft,IBM, Tableau, Salesforce, Facebook, Google and Amazon have exhibited a variety of responsesto manage this growth in social justice related petitions, walk-outs, and protests from theiremployees. Responses have ranged from firing individuals to meeting demands at least in part.Study of these activities in the engineering writing classroom has multiple benefits in terms ofdeveloping student’s sense of deliberate purpose, persuasive communication skills andunderstanding of ethical limits within the field of engineering.

Evaluation of the student-developed problems was part of programevaluation and did not require ethics approval.In this cohort study, we performed surveys to assess self-reported confidence and understandingof mechanics topics related to problem-creation activities within two populations, “coursestudents” (123
