assess and reconstruct their professional practices that influence their mindset andreform engineering education.Introduction Critical consciousness is an advanced educational pedagogy to liberate the masses fromsystemic inequity maintained and perpetuated by interdependent systems and institutions (Freire,1970; Jemal, 2017). It is often situated in the context of analyzing oppressive systemic forcesusing the cyclic process of critical reflection, critical motivation, and critical action. Critical reflection is defined as the process of individuals analyzing their reality andsocial inequities (e.g., economic, racial/ethnic, and gender inequities) that constrain well-beingand human agency.

Institutional ContextTraining teaching assistants is a relatively new practice in higher education, and the catalyst forprograms differs in the US and UK. In the US, there are no standardized guidelines at the federallevel for teacher preparedness in higher education whereas the training that Imperial CollegeLondon conducts in the UK is largely informed by national government mandate.

One thing to note is that, just like our students,faculty may tend to look ahead at class material. For this reason, the facilitators used a “just intime” method to release notes and handouts.4.
