expand on the scope of this study by investigating the generalizability of the resultsto other regions and cultures and exploring potential ways to improve the program to support thedevelopment of future leaders in sustainable engineering.IntroductionEngineering education has transformed in recent years, emphasizing experiential learning todevelop students' competencies. One example of this trend is Engineers Without Borders (EWB),which provides students hands-on field experience through sustainable engineering projects. [1].EWB's experiential learning program is based on the principle of direct experience and reflection,which effectively develops the skills necessary for engineering practice, including problem-solving, teamwork, and leadership

course on EDP will be purposefullyintegrated with an in-depth discussion of 3DP. The approach is to dissect a 3D printer’s hardware,explain each component’s function, introduce each component’s manufacturing methods, describepossible defects, and elucidate what works and what does not. This has at least four benefits: 1)PSTs will know what is possibly wrong when a printer or printing process fails, 2) PSTs will learnmore manufacturing processes besides 3DP that can be used to support engineering designprototyping, 3) PSTs will know how to design something that can meet the manufacturingconstraints, i.e., can be actually fabricated, and 4) reduce errors and frustrations caused by faileddesign and failed prints which happen frequently to novices

inclusive engineering education.IntroductionThe construction of the U.S. interstate highway system—spanning nearly 41,000 miles—was amajor engineering achievement of the 1960s. However, this period of infrastructure expansionexacerbated racial inequities across many American communities. Numerous highways wererouted directly through vulnerable urban areas, predominantly Black neighborhoods, furtherentrenching segregation and displacing residents [1]. Civil engineers of the time oftenoverlooked the social ramifications of these large-scale projects - sometimes unintentionally, butat other times deliberately. Historically, engineering education has primarily emphasizedtechnical skills, fostering a disconnect between engineering practices and the

ABET’s Criterion 4 CI [11] states, "The program must regularly useappropriate, documented processes for assessing and evaluating the extent to which the studentoutcomes are being attained. The results of these evaluations must be systematically utilized asinput for the program’s continuous improvement actions". To accomplish the CI requirements,the department followed four strategies that encapsulate the faculty efforts toward CI.The four strategies were: (1) Department faculty, led by the main author of this paper, developeda 3-year schedule of assessment and evaluation, two Student Outcomes (SO) each year in arotating cycle. (2) Documented evidence of implemented action items (2019-22) demonstratingthat the results of student outcome

Further, theConsumer Energy Alliance has indicated, STEM education is a must for the next generation ofenergy workers as a STEM bachelor's degree nearly doubles the likelihood of working in theenergy industry. Currently, the energy industry is facing three key workforce challenges: (i)technical and soft skills gap, (ii) lack of awareness of job opportunities, and (iii)underrepresentation of minorities and women.

innovative pedagogies that can help enhancethe employability of students. In response to this need, an exploratory study was conducted at asatellite campus of a large, Midwestern research-focused university. The intervention includedthe implementation of an entrepreneurially minded and communication-focused project,developed by the instructor of an upper-level undergraduate manufacturing course. Post-completion of the project, a metacognitive reflection assignment was administered to theparticipants and subsequently, data was collected. Participant responses were qualitativelyanalyzed using thematic analysis which led to the discovery of three themes: (1) identifyingvalue in nature-inspired design, (2) confidence in communication and self-expression

MentoringA skilled mentor can significantly impact what students learn about science and technology [1].To develop a mentor, the process might encompass a long-term maturation, growth, anddevelopment of an individual at the trainee level into an innovative and productive mentor whocan accept expanding leadership roles in his or her chosen field [2]. In the literature, mentoring isdefined as collaborative professional learning characterized by an egalitarian approach of sharingknowledge, working together, and nurturing the whole person to improve practice [3-5].Although mentors and mentees share a learning experience over time, mentoring is traditionallya one-way learning activity.

These pests feed on plant roots, weakening the host plant. As the female nematodesmature, their bodies swell to become round or lemon-shaped with the rear protruding outside theroot. After the female nematodes die, their bodies harden forming a cyst, change color, andbecome visible on a macroscopic level [2]. The current methods of surveying fields for cystnematode infestation require uprooting agricultural crops to examine the root system and/or signsof crop contagion which can result in the termination of uninfected plants [3].The objective of this multidisciplinary senior design project is to assist in
