©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Increasing contextualized social awareness through multidisciplinary teams in global service-learning projectsAbstractThis paper is for ongoing work in developing unique collaborations between engineering andnon-engineering students in a user-centered design course and humanitarian engineering projectwork. In this paper, the authors will review their integration of social and emotionalcompetencies into engineering design and practice through a credit-based engineering course inconjunction with an Engineers in Action (EIA) Bridge Project student chapter at a midwesternpublic university.

In this paper, we focuson two specific efforts within the DEI Task Force: a DEI Scholars Program, and a DEI ElectiveOption which is an outcome of the DEI Scholars Program.The DEI Task Force regularly convenes to tackle immediately pressing DEI issues within thedepartment and to develop a longer-term plan for improvement and change for all mattersrelating to DEI [website link]. Every semester the makeup of the DEI Task Force changes as newDEI Scholars join, others graduate, and faculty and staff are added. This evolution of the TaskForce itself has led to an evolution of the type of projects we address and also the way

Course artifacts, student reflections, and instructional team reflections areused to understand the growth in mindset of the students and instructor through this course.Additionally, these resources are used to present key learnings for future implementation.This project focused on examining systems. Groups historically excluded from engineering,including people of color, disabled, LGBTQ+, and women, were recentered through the humancentered design process. Students evaluated engineering systems for exclusion and ideated on thesource of these design flaws. In doing so, they

Thispaper examines the difference in teaching and student learning outcomes when this departmentreplaced the teaching team for two courses from Caucasian men to women and women of colorwith no instructions on how to deliver the courses. It was noted that women professors drawfrom their work experiences and bring a hands-on learning and a project-based approach. Thischange was noted in the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering because previouslywhen the courses were taught by men, the course delivery remained consistent with a traditionallecture-based approach. It is important to note that instructors are not given a guide on

purpose of this practice paper is to suggest a mechanical engineering reasoning diagram(MERD) for equitable teaching in writing-intensive engineering labs 1. Reasoning diagrams aredesigned to describe concepts and the relationships among these concepts in a structured andvisual way. In order to facilitate engineering thinking among undergraduates, a MERD wasdeveloped in this study to capture engineer experts' narratives about their projects and the logicof key Mechanical Engineering (ME) concepts. The model of engineering thinking would alsodemonstrate rhetorical moves of the technical writing process of engineering; this mentalmodeling relates metacognitive knowledge to disciplinary writing.

Many well-meaning educators andresearchers have undertaken projects to help women students succeed in engineering by offeringspatial skills training courses, under the premise that women lag behind men in spatial skills andthat this contributes to their lower rates of participation in engineering.

offer support for schools in which engineeringcourses can not be implemented thoroughly due to lack of engineering education professionals orresources [10, p. 21]. However, in this framework the relationship between engineering designand technology with societal impact is framed under the concept of professionalism, referring toengineering ethics. The framework goes so far to state that, “technology by itself is neutral anddoes not affect people or the environment. However, it is the way in which people develop anduse technology that determines if it is helpful or harmful” [10, p. 74]. Such a statement removesresponsibility of harm from the engineers by displacing impact onto the users. In this project, we are working to integrate youth

to technology-richenvironments like makerspaces for traditionally underserved youth in engineering. Several pro-Makerspace actors purport that having experiences in such open-ended project-based settings canencourage engagement with engineering. However, as we know from prior work in the area,simply providing access to technology-rich spaces does not allow underserved youth to feelownership and belonging in both makerspaces and engineering environments. Additionally,formal and informal engineering education experiences do not center on preventing harm tocommunities and the environment in engineering work. Not only do future generations ofengineers need to reduce the harm caused by engineering and technology proactively, but harmreduction
