; Paper StyleThe team of authors was formed through a shared interest in exploring life as engineeringeducators outside academia. The call for collaboration was extended via LinkedIn, which yieldeda diverse group of participants, though perhaps not uncoincidentally – all women. Our team,initially intended as a panel for the ASEE 2023 conference, evolved into this collaborative paperafter the panel's rejection, emphasizing the importance and relevance of our stories in the broaderdiscourse of engineering education.Thus for the paper, each author was invited to respond to a set of six questions crafted by thelead author, reflecting on their individual journeys outside academia.

Sociologist Erin Cech has famously shown how engineeringeducation’s privileging of technical content and bounding of students’ aspirations surroundingsocial impact produces a “culture of disengagement” among engineering students [5]. Othercritics have explored various sociopolitical forces shaping engineering education—even as therole of those forces has been stripped from most observers’ imagination

Due to the structure of engineering design teams, it is important to maintain propercommunication between the various groups, as alterations in one group’s designs could affect othergroups’ designs.To better prepare students and meet industry needs, new innovative teaching approaches have beendeveloped, such as Project-Based Learning (PjBL).
