Capstone is aparticularly good fit for participants like Alan and Greg who had engineering management experience andso could model the type of design processes and skills that are necessary in a product development

theseinsights, we offer pragmatic suggestions for refinement of the instrument. In these suggestions,we aim to enlighten future efforts to engage students in the diversification and inclusivity of theengineering field, and prevent future researchers from making similar methodological mistakes. INTRODUCTIONSince the U.S. Congress passed the Science and Technology Equal Opportunities Act in 1980,diversifying the engineering workforce has remained a national priority [1]. This act underscoredthe desire to reach equal representation of genders, races, ethnicities, and economic statuses inthe engineering profession [2], and emphasized the support of groups that are traditionallyunderrepresented in engineering, such as

methodological, technological, and objective [74]. It is a field thathas been mostly established by White men who have decided what is engineering and who getsto participate [74]. There is also no recognition to different epistemologies and solutions toengineering problems, and designs are thought to be race and gender free [59]. In the UnitedStates, engineering has seldom been framed as a social justice profession and, as Cech hasargued [75], ideologies of depoliticization and meritocracy held by many engineers make itextremely difficult to frame the profession in such a way. Instead, engineering is framed aspurely objective, meritocratic, and composed of rigorously-constrained problem solving [75].While “improving society” is part of many definitions

conversations about equity anddiversity in the classroom. The engineering curriculum is not neutral, and knowledge is producedwithin a power-driven social and cultural system [3, 4]. ABET student outcomes are not entirelytechnical and include that students must have an understanding of professional and ethicalresponsibility, the broad education necessary to understand engineering impacts in a global andsocietal context, and knowledge of contemporary issues. Nevertheless, discussing the societaland ethical implications of engineering and technology is often a daunting task for bothengineering students and instructors [5].At our university, as part of a National Science Foundation (NSF) Revolutionizing Engineeringand Computer Science Departments (RED
