activities, discussion, instruction and reflection. Although each of the TAs hadpreviously taken the course, some as recently as the previous semester, since they were selectedfrom three different engineering programs, not all of the individuals knew one another. On thefirst day, as shown in Figure 1, students introduced themselves, and played a few icebreakergames to get to know one another a bit better. From there, course logistics were presented by theinstructors; what the students as Mentor TAs would be expected to do, how much time theycould anticipate needing to do the job well and what the course schedule would be in regards totheir responsibilities. From there, students were introduced to the LMS from a teacher’sviewpoint; although they had

downstream courses does not reflect as many students as captured inthe upstream data.With this caveat in mind, the data for ME 320 (Dynamics) are presented in Figure 4 and Figure5. Figure 4 shows the grade distributions for ME 682 (downstream course) as a function ofwhether students in ME 682 took ME 320 with or without UGTFs. It can be seen that theaddition of UGTFs to the ME 320 classroom in Spring 2016 correlated with a reducedpercentage of students getting a D or F in the downstream course by 5.4%, and increasedthe percentage of students earning a C (8% compared to 1.8%), but did not improve thepercentage of students scoring an A or B.This data may be further parsed by examining Figure 5, which shows grades between ME 320and ME 682 correlated

address the complex problems faced by civilization today. It requires looking atthe world’s problems in a more holistic way and being able to interact with a wide range oftechnical and non-technical stakeholders from various disciplines and walks-of-life, rather thanremaining in traditional silos of technical expertise and schools of thought. This newepistemology of engineering education also promotes reflective and adaptive practice, systemthinking, engagement, and fieldwork. Finally, it promotes a humanization of the engineeringprofession and emphasizes that engineering is above all - and has always been - about people.Analyzing the integrated nature of the SDGsIntegrating the SDGs in engineering education requires developing a curriculum with
