Thisliving among high achieving students fostered an environment of collaborative academicachievement as well as a quality social environment with access to enrichment programs. LessonLearned: Although the enrichment activities added tremendous value, it was also important tobalance group activities with opportunities for individual reflection to accommodate differentneeds and preferences within the community.Peer Mentoring: INNOV scholars are mentored by upper-level Path students during their first twoyears, then they can serve as peer mentors their junior and senior years.

Furthermore, this pedagogy is predicated on moving beyond traditional ethicstraining which often adopts some form of procedural ethics, that which refers to bad behavior inresearch or the workplace, and incorporates extrinsic ethics and intrinsic ethical thought [3]. Insummary, traditional case-based pedagogy in engineering ethics often presents students withpredefined scenarios and solutions, encouraging them to identify ethical issues but frequentlylimiting deeper exploration of how ethical and technical considerations interact. In contrast,ethical-epistemic analysis engages students in actively examining how knowledge productionand ethical concerns are intertwined, fostering a more integrated and reflective approach toproblem

The student feedback and short-term outcomes from the initial pilotwere positive. However, as the team reflected on what is needed to educate today’s engineeringstudents to address the engineering problems of tomorrow it became clear that there was morework to be done. The goal of the overarching project was to reimagine engineering education through ahands-on, project-based curriculum. Specifically, the team set out to design its programscentering four evidence-based practices: (1) A sense of mission explicitly centered onsustainability and equity, (2) hands-on teamwork
