This study wasconducted at a public research institution and Hispanic serving institution (HSI) in theSoutheastern US region. The study included hiring UTAs and recruiting faculty to participate inthe project. During this process, the faculty and coordinator were focused on UTAs beingapproachable, patient, and willing to engage in a diverse learning community.

Engineer-designers, implicitly or explicitly, assume a ‘reference man’.Most of us are not reference man, and if ever, will only be reference man for a brief period in ourlives. In this way, we engineers effectively design technologies that serve but a few well andpoorly serve others, if at all.The problem becomes even thornier for complex sociotechnical systems –including most energytechnologies, especially nuclear

This marked difference in earning potential serves as a key factor influencing ashift in career trajectory, occurring either before or after undergraduate studies. Unfortunately,many students overlook crucial aspects such as job salary and availability when selecting theirundergraduate major. While personal interest often guides this choice, studies reveal that familialand peer pressure also plays a substantial role [2,3], leading students to pursue majors that maynot align with their passion or offer favorable job prospects and income. While more than 30%of undergraduate students regret their initial major

The use of active learning techniques inSTEM fields has grown in popularity as a successful way to improve undergraduate students'educational experiences and academic performance. Active learning aims to increase studentparticipation, foster self-efficacy, and motivate students to pursue careers in STEM fields.Over the past few decades, active learning has grown in popularity as a set of teaching strategiesin higher education. In contrast to traditional passive learning through lectures, active learninginvolves students directly in the learning process [1].

Most surprisingly, EA advocates often treat empathy, acentral focus of much current engineering education research, as a mere shortcoming in decision-making, misdirecting altruistic impulses to causes that are emotionally engaging but logicallysubordinate to causes with more proven need or measurable benefit to be discovered by “runningthe numbers.” This paper looks at the prominence of effective altruism among STEMprofessionals, considers its tensions with practices in empathic and socially engaged engineeringeducation, and treats

Despite efforts in engineering education, however, WOC remain repressed inengineering as well as most university-level engineering programs in the US [2]. A possiblereason for the repression of WOC in engineering may be from the underlying epistemologies ofthe field itself.The foundational epistemologies of engineering in the US were established in the mid-19thcentury through engineering societies in various universities [3]–[7]. Not surprisingly, due to thesociopolitical climate in the US at the time, the only individuals with access to these societies(who therefore shaped their values and cultures) were
