The National Academyof Engineering (NAE) frequently emphasizes the complexity of modern engineering challenges,such as in their report Grand Challenges for Engineering [1]. As engineering challenges becomeincreasingly complex, there’s been a notable rise in interest in engineering education research.More and more engineering education programs have been developed in the US, which havedeveloped dedicated programs to focus on engineering education research. The number ofgraduate and doctoral degrees awarded in the U.S. has risen since the early 21st century [2], andwhile engineering and education have long produced PhDs, recent technological advancementshave significantly reshaped the PhD process [3].

For instance, women in STEM have been found to face microaggressions,have lower social capital, and receive lower wages than men (Committee on Increasing theNumber of Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine (STEMM)et al., 2020). Likewise, LGBTQ professionals in STEM were more likely to face interpersonalmarginalization and devaluation in project teams than in traditional work structures withoutproject-based teams (Cech & Waidzunas, 2022). Compared to their heterosexual and cis-gendercolleagues, LGBTQ people also experienced more career limitations and harassment (Cech &Waidzunas, 2021).

ColorAbstractThis WIP paper intends to supplement our current understanding of political awareness andethical disengagement among engineering undergraduates. As an integral part of the productionof globally-sold technology and weaponry [1-6], engineers in the United States need to have anactive and informed interest for global public welfare as well as the political applications of theirwork [7]. Part of developing this informed interest is supposed to occur as they get theirbachelor’s degree, as ABET expects graduates to be able to “recognize ethical and professionalresponsibilities in engineering situations” (Criterion 3: Student Outcomes) and make decisionsthat give weight to the global and societal impact of their work [8]. In spite of this effort

He studies how different student groups such as women and men, rich and poor, students from rural and urban, and technologically literate and less literate can have quality and equitable learning experiences and thrive in their performances. In doing so, he focuses on engineering education policies and practices in teaching and learning processes, assessments, laboratories, and practical internships.
