component, termed the hiddencurriculum, pertains to perspectives and processes that are both outside of, and rooted in, theformal curriculum. The hidden curriculum inadvertently conveys to students what is important inthe educational community. This paper employs a hidden curriculum perspective to explore therole and value of ethics and societal impacts (termed ESI) in engineering education. As part of alarger study on the ESI education of undergraduate and graduate students, this paper exploresESI through a hidden curriculum lens using an ex post facto design and mixed-methodsapproach. Individuals who teach engineering and computing students participated in a surveywhere they reported their own ESI education practices and their perceptions of the

9what that means in practice, and what role the Engineering Studies Program should play increating and sustaining that culture. Too often, the program has been understood in terms of whatit is not, and the ways it diverges from our ABET-accredited BS majors, rather than for theunique combination of disciplinary methods it combines. This was damaging to the identity ofour AB students. Worryingly, the program’s existence can sometimes permit other Collegeprograms to abdicate their own potential contributions to interdisciplinary integration. Weunderstand from both the history of engineering education, and history itself, that a single“bridge” is insufficient. The program continues to work hard to communicate effectively withprospective and

longstanding10-week undergraduate and graduate course in which each student learns manufacturingprocesses (milling, turning, welding, forming, and sand casting) through hands-on experienceand then designs and builds a product of their own imagination. The course is designed toencourage students to concurrently engage their mind, hands, and heart. They do so throughseveral streams of parallel work, including iterative design (mind), prototyping andmanufacturing process labs (hands), and the pursuit of individually identified, personallymeaningful projects (heart)1. We hypothesize that greater integration of students’ mind, hands,and heart is associated with increased engineering task self-efficacy, innovation self-efficacy,engineering identity, and

For instance,although engineering jobs are estimated to grow 11% in the coming years, high-school studentinterest is stagnant [7] and about one-third of first-time freshmen engineering majors leave thefield [8]. Therefore, finding successful strategies to increase the number of STEM graduates iscritical.

Innovative Intervention to Infuse Diversity and Inclusion in a Statics CourseAbstractEngineering educators strive to prepare their students for success in the engineering workforce.Increasingly, many career paths will require engineering graduates to work in multidisciplinaryteams with individuals possessing a diversity of skill sets, backgrounds, and identities. Therefore,it is important not only for future engineers to have the opportunity to work in teams as students,but also to have specific instruction that teaches them about teamwork skills and the valuediversity and inclusion bring to engineering practice. Furthermore, it is important that thisinstruction occurs throughout their engineering coursework, giving
