development topics into the ECEcurriculum. We present the results of a one-week module for graduate students that linksdisciplinary and intrapersonal knowledge through a design thinking framework. We present acontent analysis and descriptive statistics from two surveys distributed to students from Fall2024 about their experiences with the module. These surveys asked students about theirexperiences with the module, their engineering identity and belongingness, and their beliefsabout their future careers. A major takeaway from this analysis was the saliency studentsexperienced around the topics of ambiguity, failure, and risk in the context of thinking abouttheir future careers. Finally, we offer recommendations for other ECE educators interested

its impacts on society, community engagement and experiential learning, and universal design. • Elements of professional formation such as ethical and social critical thinking, mentorship, teamwork and conflict resolution, sustainable design, injustice and inequity in access to energy, professional continual learning and professional identity, community- engaged learning, and social responsibility.This paper provides an overview of the modules, assessment results from the pilotimplementation, and our observations throughout the process. A combination of direct andindirect assessments is used to evaluate both student learning outcomes and students’ sentimentsregarding the holistic educational experience.BackgroundAs
