While most students are PhD students in chemicalengineering, there are sometimes a small number of MS or PhD students from allied disciplines inthe course. Since 2012, the course has included modules on course design, teaching methods,assessment of student learning, evaluation of teaching effectiveness, ABET accreditation,facilitating groupwork, and preventing and reporting academic integrity violations.In early 2019, the course instructor was awarded an Instructional Improvement Grant through theUC Berkeley Center for Teaching and Learning.

].Viewing Engineering Education Through Our LensesIn order to demonstrate how each of the four lenses applies to engineering education, we haveselected the example scenario where practicing faculty within an engineering program are notadopting new educational change provided by theoretical research [5, 9, 24]. The contextualinterplay in which we apply our theoretical lenses is directly related to types of practice andinnovation to emerge [25, 26]. Further, integrating our context of practice and theoretical basis atthe outset supports the decision-making processes of individuals working in the field [5, 26].Thus, this section begins by illustrating the use of each of our four lenses in the context ofengineering education.

The researchers and instructors of the courseagreed that the number of interventions and required time is reasonable without interfering with the core classmaterial. These interventions are hypothesized to improve engineering students’ sense of belonging and self-efficacy in their majors [14, 15].After considering course assignments and scheduling, the researchers chose a selection of ENGR 104 coursesin which to embed the interventions: Fall 17, Spring 18, and Fall 19.

These models are quantitative and lead to numerical predictionsof various outcomes. However, engineering/math models, by nature, require simplification; themental model must make and check the assumptions required to build a solvableengineering/math model. The engineering/math model is usually expressed using logic andmathematics; often computers facilitate numerical predictions.

This requires thatprograms develop integrated learning activities across these graduate attributes, which canbe challenging given an already hectic curriculum. We further argue that employingintegrative case-based learning activities can be an effective and efficient mechanism toeffectively fulfill these requirements and support ongoing fundamental technical skilldevelopment. Finally, to provide a context for constructing case study learning activities,we define a structured case study model grounded in the key frameworks of sustainability,safety and risk management.Historically, engineering leadership curricula tend
