identity affords more experiences withwhich diverse individuals can identify20 and feel welcome as participants (i.e., “engineering isfor me, too.”). Similar to the BME example, an engineering identity that values both social andtechnical dimensions presents more values and premises with which individuals can identify thusleading to more “whole-minded engineers.”Research & Development PlanThis NSF-funded RFE study utilizes a design thinking approach to develop solution(s) thataddress our three interrelated objectives: to better prepare engineers for today’s workforce, tobroaden understandings of engineering practice as both social and technical, and to createand sustain more diverse and inclusionary engineering programs.

Engineering educationresearchers have focused on global competence. Defining and measuring global preparedness hasproven to be even more difficult.12Hunter13 working with an international panel of experts, developed a working definition ofglobal competence: “having an open mind while actively seeking to understand cultural normsand expectations of others, leveraging this gained knowledge to interact, communicate and workeffectively outside one’s environment.” Deardorff14 summarized intercultural competency as“the skills to listen, observe

located on the South Campus. And, recognizing that healthy minds need healthy food choices, the college has a food and resource bank for any student in need. Finally, to generate confidence in program completion and matriculation, the college offers an open laboratory every Friday where students utilize equipment, make up work, and formulate study groups. During the Introduction to Engineering course, faculty introduce students to the Project Graduation program where counselors and students work together to map their educational experience—from the first engineering course at San Jacinto College to the final class in completing a four-year engineering degree. 3.

Perhaps the most prominent aspect of threshold concepts is their transformative nature.4 Onemanner of understanding the transformative criterion is to recall a concept that presented anentirely new lens to view the physical (and perhaps nonphysical) world. For example, fromelectrical engineering, one of the first ideas that may come to mind is the Fourier Transform of asignal f(t), ' 𝑓 𝜉 = 𝑓(𝑡) 𝑒 (*+,-. 𝑑𝑡, ∀𝜉 ∈ ℝ (1) ('From a purely mathematical point of view, the transform appears
