As pointed out by Kabo and Baillie[10], concepts such as social justice, sustainability, humanitarian practices or ethics can bethreshold concepts to define what a changemaking engineer is. Using this idea, the authorscreated three distinct categories to classify how students defined changemaking engineering. Thefirst group represents students who did not relate engineering and changemaking in ways thatreflect the perspective of the university, or the RED project. These students did not relateengineering with changemaking or by defined every engineer as a changemaker. Nine (32%)students were

Day and Foley [12] used class time exclusively for exercises, having their students prepare beforehand for class with materials provided online. Frydenberg [13] primarily used hands-on exercises to foster student understanding in data analytics. Based on the context of the class module, class exercises were designed for the class time to explicitly raise questions to invite student participation. It may be questions to think further into the concepts for a deeper understanding, or practice using their knowledge with

Currently 23% of seniors scheduled to graduate from the engineeringprogram at ECU in either May or December 2018 began their college experience at a communitycollege. It has been observed that transfer students tend to be more mature than many of thestudents who started as freshmen and have a very strong work ethic. This makes transferstudents, who have proven they are capable of completing college course for two years, lessrisky investments for scholarship funds.

Knowledge translationis emphasized in health care especially because: 1) there are high costs associated with longtemporal lags and 2) there are large gaps between new research and clinical practice which leadto an inefficient use of limited health care resources [2–4]. This area of scholarship has advancedto the stage where there are journals (e.g., Implementation Science) dedicated to addressing theseconcerns specifically. In practice, knowledge translation can be applied to the initial design ofresearch protocols [5

Consequently, at the time ofsubmission, there was more disagreement than consensus regarding DACA recipients andimmigration policies in general.This political climate is important because SCC is located in a state with a large population ofDACA recipients and a large population of immigrants. When creating the recruitment survey,our research group initially wanted to ask questions about US citizenship, but given the largeimmigrant population at our study site, ethics, and overall empathy, we decided not to includethis question on the survey.
