No further questions at this time.” (Student 2) “What I learned about myself is that many people may look at myself and think in many different ways. Then I may see myself in a different light. I believe through life everyone has their own trials, culture, ethnics and experiences that all reflect who and how they are today. Being able to understand all perspectives and ethics is valuable to understanding each person's perspective.” (Student 8) “I learned about myself using the three stages of adulthood and

Theycan begin to integrate skill development with their outreach sessions to promote desiredengineering skills, or habits of mind, such as problem solving, collaboration, creativity,communication, ethical considerations, innovative thinking, etc. [3]. Recognizing the importanceof this preparation, the College of Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno coordinatedsummer camp programming for middle and high school students to introduce them toengineering disciplines and get them excited about pursuing an education in this field.

IntroductionAppreciative Inquiry (APPI) is an asset-based research approach that has been used in a range ofdomains, including organizational development, public health, and education, to study andfacilitate social change in organizations and communities [1], [2], [3]. APPI is grounded in socialconstructivist theory, which suggests

Autoethnography differs from ethnography (i.e., the study of individuals, people,and cultures) in that it allows exploration of familiar topics, primarily the researcher self, ratherthan unfamiliar terrain. Despite its advantages, autoethnography can introduce biases if researchersoverly rely on personal experiences without considering the cultural context [64]. To mitigate theserisks, Chang advises researchers to avoid pitfalls such as excessive focus on the self, reliance solelyon memory, neglect of ethical practices, inappropriate labeling, and prioritization of narrativesover cultural interpretation is

By decreasing the volume of new products required for thoroughflushing, we minimize commingling of oils, leading to conservation of resources while stillattaining desired product purity. Such an approach aligns with broader objectives of pollutionprevention, sustainable and ethical industrial practices.

The introduction of Team-based learning (TBL) in the 1980s marked a significant shift inaddressing the challenges of large class settings in educational environments [1], [2]. Originally abusiness school innovation, TBL has now permeated various disciplines including engineering,medicine, and social sciences globally. Some courses, such as first-year engineering, maycombine TBL with project-based learning (PBL) to introduce students to common engineeringthemes such as design, sustainability, and ethics. Despite its wide-ranging benefits, TBL'seffectiveness can be inequitable for a variety of reasons, including free riders, imbalances in taskallocation, and more broad communication issues [3], [4]. Thus, the application of teamworkassessment

In this course, students were put into groups and had to complete an engineering task (inmy case, build a simple robot); however, the class’s primary learning outcomes focused on non-technical concepts like engineering ethics, which made this course like a mini capstone wherestudents had to find the information themselves to complete their projects. Reflecting on thisproject, I realized that researching and building circuitry for robots was the primary reason forselecting Electrical Engineering. Therefore, when I look at the department’s RED program, I seea similar ideology: an attempt to teach students more about the professional side of engineeringand empower students to take responsibility for learning.

Some staff may have moreexperience than others, some may be more preoccupied with other responsibilities. These typesof factors can affect how they interact with and support student learning.There may be cultural differences in courses that span regions or countries. Cultural differencesbetween cohorts have been found to affect interest in the material [15]. These differences couldaffect the way faculty and staff function, including their expectations of timeliness, interactionswith others, and work ethic/quality.

For most students, this wastheir first or second design-heavy course; thus, learning to define the problem and develop adesign project was demanding.

The PBL approach also promotes essential skills such as leadership, teambuilding, ethical behavior, creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving.3. Results and DiscussionThe post-completion survey for the course was completed by 75 out of 112 students across all the classes (Table 4). The highest fraction of completion (100%) was observed for Thermodynamics II (CHEN 3302).In contrast, only 60% of the students completed the survey for Chemical Engineering Laboratory I andIntroduction to Renewable Energy Systems(MENG 4349).

EWB-USA has also been found to serve as a multi-faceted retention tool for engineering students, particularly women [14].
