Once in the program, students must complete a set of 10 required 300-level courses as well as satisfy a minimum of 23 credit hours from 400-level electives.

We decided to assess Dependability using the Team Rating survey studentsprovide of each member of their senior design team each term. Shown below in Table 1 is thecurrent Team Rating guide for senior design. Our senior capstone design spans three quarters,and the team members rate each other at the end of each of the three quarters using this guide.Students choose which of the following descriptors applies to each group member and providesan explanation why they chose this descriptor.

This gap ineducation perpetuates the separation of DEI from core engineering ethics, reinforcing theperception that equity and inclusion are secondary concerns.Lack of Dynamic Frameworks for Complex ChallengesCurrent frameworks in engineering ethics often adopt static approaches that do not account forthe dynamic interplay between technical, social, and environmental factors. For example,sustainability frameworks may emphasize resource efficiency and environmental impact withoutconsidering how social inequities influence the distribution of benefits and burdens

In other cases, the aim is to help students approach designin the context of ethics or sustainability, with an eye toward the long-term impacts of their workacross a range of users and circumstances [3]. Immersive classroom experiences like design-build-test assignments and community engagement projects can help facilitate this kind ofknowledge [3-5]. Lab classes are good candidates for doing this kind of work, given the alreadyhands-on nature of a typical materials science lab course. One area where the lab class has yet toexcel, however, is in preparing students to communicate meaningfully about their work acrossdiverse audiences and situations.

use of active learning, recognizing “that true learning resultsfrom doing things and reflecting on the outcomes, not from passively receiving information.” [1,p. 111] In design education specifically, Project-Based Learning (PBL) has become the de factostandard approach of active learning across engineering curricula [2]. Its success, however,depends on student motivation - without it, students may struggle to engage fully, potentiallylimiting the positive outcomes of the pedagogy.The key feature of active learning is that it is learner-centred and therefore places moreresponsibility on the student than teacher-centred methods. Past research has described severalbarriers to student engagement with innovative active learning approaches
