that included a disruption to higher education. More specifically, theCourse Change Typology was used to track changes in the core second- and third-year courses ofa single engineering department, including changes in emphasis on the ABET Student Outcomes1-7, types of course activities, and forms of assessment.II. BackgroundBest practices concerning ABET student outcomes, types of course activities, and forms ofassessment are described below. The ideas presented set the stage for expectations for change.A. ABETThe lack of adaptation in engineering education has occurred despite calls for change from theAccreditation Board for Engineering Technology (ABET), which focuses on ensuringengineering curriculum meets the needs of the modern
revealedthat they struggle with internalizing the stigma of “deficient preparation and competence that theysensed was held by other students and by sometimes faculty, as well.” [20]. We feel that this mayprovide reasoning for why many students were reluctant to seek out help, struggled withengagement, and empathized with students who shared similar experiences.To address the need for support of low-income students in engineering, it is essential to firstunderstand how financial challenges can impact learning and engagement. Peña et al. compiled alist of ten rules for supporting low-income students in STEM (science, technology, engineering,and mathematics) [21]. In this context, the rules that would be beneficial given the patterns in thedata are

In K-12 contexts,Vakil [9] explains that “research unequivocally shows that high quality STEM learningopportunities in and out of school are largely denied to racially minoritized students” (p.90).Numerous studies have shown that in university programs, students benefit from previoustechnical experience [10], but women are far less likely to have such experiences because ofgendered stereotypes of engineering processes e.g. computer coding [11].There are also challenges arising from students’ interests and the impact of gender stereotypes oncareer choice.

They can also design engineering projects that specifically address social disparities in access to technology and infrastructure, focusing on solutions that benefit underserved communities. Moreover, advocating for diversity and inclusion within the engineering profession is essential, requiring
