To enhance this value-driven content, course materials were updated, emphasizingstudent interests and examples drawn from engineering grand challenges identified by theNational Science Foundation and the National Academy of Engineering. A formal assessmentprocess was established to collect quantitative data on the impact of course modifications.Reinforced learning was also employed, where the staff team from all courses collaborated togenerate cross-course real-life engineering examples, creating a context for how differentmechanics areas of study work

These modulesmight include interdisciplinary case studies, sustainability-focused projects, and workshops ledby practitioners to provide students with practical, contextual learning experiences. Additionally,pilot programs could be established to evaluate the effectiveness of these modules, collectingfeedback from both students and educators to refine and expand their application. Collaboratingwith industry professionals can also help create frameworks that ensure equity education remainsrelevant to current practices and aligns with professional standards.
