According to theSemiconductor Industry Association (SIA), the U.S. share of global semiconductor manufacturinghas dropped significantly, from about 37% in 1990 to approximately 12% in 2023 [1]. In responseto this concerning decline, the U.S. government has initiated programs to increase domesticmanufacturing, such as the CHIPS and Science Act, which aims to boost advanced chipsproduction in the U.S, prompting an urgent need to bolster workforce readiness [2, 3].In this paper, we discuss our efforts and experiences in an industry-sponsored project that aims toaddress this need by preparing ‘fab

The Intersectionality-Informed Ethics Principles (IIEP) framework offers a structuredapproach to integrating these considerations into engineering decision-making, helpingprofessionals address both technical and societal dimensions of their work. For instance, IIEPenables engineers to design sustainable energy systems that prioritize equitable access formarginalized communities while maintaining technical rigor.

This infrequent feedback system does not allow for just-in-time adjustment of teaching style or addressing common points of confusion when it is neededmost. For this reason, some instructors choose to implement “muddiest point” reflections, ametacognitive exercise in which students briefly summarize the most confusing conceptencountered in class each day [1].Students respond positively to such reflections [2], and they may improve student performancewhen used effectively. In one study, muddiest point reflections alone did not improve examperformance, but results did suggest benefits for students whose instructor reviewed

As Sfard [1] and others observe, we can also view learning as participating ina practice. This metaphor aligns with engineering mindsets, wherein we often care less aboutwhat students know, and more about what they can do with their knowledge. This shift inmetaphor suggests that multiple approaches to learning may be needed for different subjects.How do other common metaphors, such as learning as lighting a fire and planting a garden,influence how we teach?
