science is separate from the scientists involved. (Mejia &de Paula, 2019). Moreover, the false notion of objectivity presents science and engineering asapolitical and neutral, influencing students in the U.S. to believe that science and engineeringdesign are devoid of social, ethical, and political contexts. The concept of objectivity can lead topsychological conflicts, such as feelings of alienation for those raised in different cultures (Cajete,2020). Thus, teaching science exclusively from a Western perspective may negatively impactstudents. While Western science has potential drawbacks, Indigenous communities understand theimportance of integrating Western and Indigenous knowledge (Cajete, 2020).

Ethical considerations were maderegarding the collection of personal information; therefore, the surveys were anonymous, and nodemographic data were collected from participants. The IRB also raised concerns about the potential forstudent coercion. To address this, the surveys were both anonymous and voluntary, which helpedminimize the risk of coercion.

In the process of vigorously promoting programaccreditation of engineering education, clear requirements have also been put forwardfor the evidence-support capability. The transformation of outcome-basedaccreditation paradigm will be constrained and hindered to some extent by theprevious one overemphasis of the input and process.
