Themes of resilience and perseverance are highlyindividualized and not necessarily correlated with liberatory action—they could even reflectstudent acceptance of and assimilation into the status quo.A stronger reflection of critical consciousness may be the way students describe the professionalwork they will do as being focused on making “impactful change,” “designing for everyone”(noting that this is distinct from historical practice), and increasing the inclusivity andaccessibility of engineering processes and products.

Additionally, previous scholarship found thatprofessional skills are best acquired through experiential learning activities such as internships,research projects, leadership roles, and other co- and extra-curricular activities [3] - [8]. Thesefactors demonstrate the need to develop professional skills in students and create a mechanismthat assesses the skills. Thus, this certification framework aims to facilitate and track theacquisition of professional skills through an academic structure that encourages experientiallearning activities that will provide students with the skills required upon graduation.Therefore, to address the demand for well-rounded

Forexample, quantification of environmental impacts (e.g. using life cycle assessment) andpositive social impacts is now required, but it is late in the curriculum to introduce theseconcepts, which would be better shifted to the first year. The requirement for faculty todevelop appropriate material for each course is a significant barrier, which we hope thatSCOP can help overcome.In general, a community of practice is needed in order to keep the conversation movingforward, to normalize and support the thinking about how to teach these topics, and toprovide a forum for exchanging ideas and information.

AbstractThe National Science Foundation (NSF) Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program isspecifically designed to support workforce development that primarily takes place in technicianeducation programs offered at two-year colleges across the nation. Even so, NSF grant funding isinfrequently or never pursued by most two-year colleges even though there is a need for fundingto support high-cost, high-impact STEM programs. Since two-year colleges are focused onteaching vs. research, securing grants is seldom, if ever, required or recognized as important aspart of employee performance review, tenure, and promotion processes at these institutions. As aresult, technical/STEM faculty members typically do not have prior grant experience, nor dothey
