Even if it did not have this in mind the Mann Report contains a powerful case for research and development in engineering education especially in assessment and test construction, curriculum and pedagogy, and training for teaching. To achieving these goals schools of engineering might “consider seriously cooperation with departments of education in the professional training of teachers of applied science and in the scientific study of their teaching problems”.Exhibit 1.

manuscript is a work-in-progress paper. The semiconductor industry is makinggroundbreaking advancements, and hardware engineers play a pivotal role in driving thesetechnological innovations and industrial progress. Despite this, engineering educationprograms often struggle to attract and retain enough students to sustain a robust cadre of next-generation hardware engineers. A significant number of first-year computer science andengineering students gravitate toward software-focused academic and career trajectories,frequently due to their limited exposure to hardware-specific issues and trends. With thiscontext in mind, our research began with the question of how we can support first-yearengineering students in broadening their perspectives and

the basis of the creative nature ofengineering [4], [5]. Key aspects of engineering thinking include identifying contradictions(logical, technical, or physical) and applying imagination. This leads to the transformation ofideas into tangible technologies, balancing technological, ethical, and aesthetic considerations toachieve desired outcomes. In contrast, critical thinking allows engineers to re-approach oldproblems with creativity, flexibility, and a desire to improve the world around them. Engineeringthinking, on the other hand, is done with the activity of design or production in mind. Thinking isan active process for engineers which is quite different from philosophical thinking, whichrequires a contemplative posture of removing oneself

To date, most publications on equity-centered engineering course implementationsdescribe efforts in engineering design or ethics courses and modules. This may suggest that anequity lens is only or most relevant in those courses; however, if the goal is to promote students’capacity for equity-minded engineering practice, educators must center equity in a variety ofimpactful courses across students’ academic paths [17].

The findings provideempirical grounding for ways to build belonging-minded engineering environments.A unique finding related to belonging in this study was the way students defined competence inengineering as an aspect of belonging. Studies have shown relationships between students’ senseof belonging and feelings of self-efficacy and competence [6], and with academic performance inengineering [3], but this study shows how engineering students directly interpret the meaning ofbelonging. Many participants related belonging to some expectation of performance. Forexample, were they performing well enough, able to contribute, deserving of their status as anengineering student?

Thepractice of designing technologies with low-resource communities in mind has been shown toincrease the equity, accessibility, and use of developed technologies worldwide [5].
