Students were requiredto watch a video about the importance of psychological safety in teams and complete reflectionquestions related to the video. The reflection prompts included: (1) Describe a setting where youwould be willing to admit mistakes when working with a team, (2) What can you do to helpestablish a team dynamic where mistakes are welcomed and recognized as part of the designprocess?, and (3) How important is psychological safely in engineering teams and why?.In an effort to further foster inclusive behaviors, students were exposed to the idea of implicitbias and were

different elements when it comes to defining asuccessful learning experience, it is important that educators keep that in mind when creatingassignments and evaluating group work.Future ResearchIn the future, we aim to conduct discussions with a wider range of students to get a broaderpicture of students’ perceptions. Getting a good number of participants from both collectivist andindividualist cultures in the discussions is also a key goal we have.We also plan to talk with a diverse set of faculty present in the campus and ask them about thebasis on which they form teams and whether or not they consider the aforementioned factorswhile building a team.

their program we should consider introducing more projects starting from the firstyear since these students want to see where they will apply the knowledge they gain in class rightaway. 5. Future Plans There are many options available for implementing this kind of a project. Overall, thegoal is to spread the material throughout the course as much as possible so that the workload forthe students is not intense. It is also good for students to revisit and analyze their resultsfrequently so that it stays fresh in their minds. With this in mind, it may be desirable to introducesome concepts and calculations earlier. For example, students could begin learning about vehiclespeed and acceleration concepts prior to the force chapters

To encapsulate thesignificance of real-word engineering applications, students were asked to analyze either the cranemodel or Baltimore-bridge model as a mid-term project. For such task, students were required totake measurements from the selected model, register the type of loads designated by the instructor,and utilize the mathematical techniques from class to analyze its behavior.In terms of incorporating such physical models into lesson plans, the instructor arranged the lecturesessions by introduction, inquiry, visual model

During theretrospectives, the team discussed two topics: “What went well in the sprint” and “What could beimproved”. The goal of the retrospectives was to create opportunity for the teams to inspectthemselves and create a plan for improvements to be enacted during the next sprint.

Although, theentire activity from start to finish is carefully monitored by the instructor with continuous feedbackand grading of team-performance, independent team work and individual responsibility are alsoemphasized. This activity can be replicated in other CGT courses as well other disciplines. The resultssuggest that it can be an effective means to strengthen CG course pedagogy. This approach willfacilitate assessment of tactile learning methods in CGT course curriculum and help with a continuous‘Course Improvement Plan’. Ultimately this

We did this by providing the students with sections of a pool noodle, scissors, and rubber bands to fasten the "life jacket" to the figures. The students designed and modified their life jackets multiple times and had an overall good time. I was able to conect with the students and they were excited to meet somebody new.

engineering is a sociocultural practice thatcannot exist in isolation.Future studies and plan for action include more conversation on how to decolonize theengineering curriculum and integrating more native engineering practices in traditionalengineering classrooms. It is important to recognize that everyone has benefited from nativeengineering practices (e.g., wildlife population monitoring, ecological relationships, sustainableharvesting practices, and canoe or snowshoe artifacts that were quickly adapted by Europeansettlers), which in some instances were taken from indigenous communities by violent means orthrough genocide. Current efforts include the development of engineering curriculum thatshowcases how indigenous communities create and harness
