This capacity to endure and adapt resulted in a renegotiation ofpersonal identity and Quinn’s ability to visualize themselves as an agent within an engineeringworld: "Well, it's something that I would like consider if I could do like college definitely... It's something that I would like keep in mind in future jobs."For Kai, the discovery of their engineering identity was rooted in the unexpected parallels theydrew between engineering and artistry: "The non-linear nature surprised me...

, presents a solution to address HD by trainingengineers to understand HD and create engineering solutions to approach them [6], [7].However, not all engineering solutions have equity in mind. For example, some pulse oximeterscannot accurately detect oxygen saturation in darker skin tones [8]. This highlights theimportance of ensuring that future biomedical engineers are aware of HD. In undergraduate BME education, students learn how to apply engineering principles andmethods to address problems in the healthcare system. To prepare a BME workforce ready tosolve modern-day healthcare problems, topics of HD should be accessible in the undergraduatecurricula. Across the nation, faculty are incorporating HD into their courses, as evidenced by

Education, 2025 Impact of An Engineering Task on the Development of Middle School Students’ Engineering Design Practices (Fundamental)AbstractThe 2020 ASEE Framework for P-12 Engineering Learning outlines concepts, practices, andhabits of mind to promote engineering literacy for graduating high school students. However,how these practices develop over time and what is appropriate for students to learn at differentgrade levels has not been determined. This study examined the development of middle schoolstudents' engineering practices through an informal, distance-learning engineering program.Ninety assessment videos from 30 students across three engineering design activities wereanalyzed using a qualitative research design.

Personalism assumes individuals havesignificance, are unique, and serve as ends-in-themselves [6]; that is persons do not serve asmeans to a larger social end. Personalism also recognizes that humans exist in relation to otherpersons and society rather than as isolated, rational, Cartesian minds. In regard to educatingfuture engineers, personalism posits that to become engineers, students should undergo bothprofessional and personal development. Thus, the focus of any degree program should be ondeveloping individuals in fullness.The adoption of personalism—an individual-focused philosophy—as a constraint needs someexplanation in relation to the concept of a “common good” since individual wants and
