The Canadian EngineeringAccreditation Board (CEAB) includes project management as one of the twelve graduateattributes engineering students must develop and demonstrate throughout their degree [1]. Oftenthis attribute is embedded within project-based courses, such as final year capstone courses, andfirst year and upper year engineering design courses [2].

More than just a tool for communication, theyare a powerful resource for enhancing learning.

Discrimination has been suggested asone explanation for the persistent gender gap in engineering/technology [1], [2]. A recentmeta-reanalysis of audit experiments [3] finds that women are discriminated against in hiringto relatively better paying male-dominated occupations, while women applicants are favoredin the (relatively lower paying) occupations dominated by women. The authors conclude thatgender-based employment discrimination thus preserves the status quo of gender distributionsand

During this time, the dissertation defense,which was previously the only form of examination, evolved into a formality, much like it istoday. Institutions saw a need for earlier “barrier exams” to maintain academic rigor and controlquality [1]. Recent studies have identified three primary purposes of preliminary exams: (1)serve as a subject matter assessment, (2) support students’ development as independent scholars,and (3) gatekeeping to determine who should be allowed to continue in their studies [2].However, many critiques over the lack of intention and clear purposes of preliminary exams exist[3].

However, existing research has indicated that thebenefits of participating in team-based, project-based learning experiences are not always sharedby all students, and sociodemographic characteristics, such as race/ethnicity, sex/gender,socioeconomic status, and international student status, can inform the socioacademic dynamicsby which students come to participate (in)equitably in engineering teamwork.The

Empathy, an ability to understand others, experience their feelings, and behave responsively, is an essential skill and orientation for solving these complex engineering problems and holistically serving society. However, studies suggest engineers are not learning empathy during their collegiate years [1] and collegiate engineering culture can devalue social and professional competences [2].
