, environmental, and economic factors. [4]Why is it challenging to integrate diversity, justice and belonging into the engineeringcurriculum? There are various forms of curriculum changes, such as content modifications,pedagogical adjustments, assessment methods, technology integration, and the incorporation ofnew principles. Regardless of the type, changes are always challenging, with resistance to changebeing the primary reason. Resistance does not typically come from individual desire and valuefor improvement but from time constraints, workload pressures, and concerns about losingautonomy [5]. What makes diversifying mechanical engineering beyond traditional content evenmore challenging is the lack of publicly available resources [6]. Therefore, there
