Studies have demonstrated that psychological safety is a keyingredient in the ability of teams to perform to a higher degree than they otherwise would be ableto. In this research, we continue to expand the assessment of psychological safety in seniorcapstone teams to include data from engineering programs across four different institutions toprovide a sense of the experiences on capstone design teams and impacts interventions mayhave. We also begin to explore approaches to improve psychological safety in senior capstoneteams by focusing on improving students’ awareness of their ethics (the principles that guidetheir choices). The

when engineers appreciate and strive forfairness [4]. Understanding the educational context and the importance of integrating equityissues is crucial to help engineers develop an equity ethic. However, the rigid and technology-focused nature of engineering education, rooted in meritocracy and a lack of political awareness,often prevents engineering students from exploring the social aspects of their field. To promotesocially just engineering practices, we must change how engineering students are taught andequipped to address issues of inequality in the workplace. Like in many other professions,engineering culture and values may be imparted to students through belief systems that arediscussed in more subtle ways rather than just fundamental

This latter surveyalso explores the potential positive effect of portraying strategic networking to doing good for others.While the students’ first survey opinions were slightly on the positive side of neutral about strategicnetworking, they nevertheless evidenced concerns over the ethics and authenticity of strategicnetworking and lack of skill in practicing it. Course content was oriented in part to portray strategicnetworking as a practice that benefits others and promotes worthy causes; it is servant leadership inpractice. Student

Boeing’s seminal list of “Desired Attributes of an Engineer”underscored the importance of communication skills, global awareness, ethics, teamwork, andlifelong learning [2]. This shift marked a broader recognition that the challenges engineers facedwere increasingly multidisciplinary, requiring a new approach to education. Organizations suchas the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) and the American Society of Civil Engineers(ASCE) also contributed to this evolving perspective.

While the classification ofleadership (for example, skills, competencies, qualities, attributes, themes etc.) varies betweenand even within works, what is valued in engineering leadership converges on a few commonattributes.

The integration of empathyinto engineering education and practice enhances the ability of engineers to design solutions thatare not only technically sound but also socially responsible and user-centered. Empathy helpsengineers understand and address the diverse needs of users, leading to more inclusive andeffective design solutions. This perspective is supported by various studies that highlight the roleof empathy in engineering education and practice [2], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. Empathy is considered a necessary interpersonal skill for modern engineers, supportingcreativity, ethical decision-making, and collaboration.
