For instance, the PENG Instructional and Outreach Program (Pre-IOP) was developed to increase the number of skilled high-tech professionals, particularly among historically underrepresented groups (minorities and women). A thorough communication campaign promoting the benefits of careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) introduced a PENG curriculum in middle and high schools to achieve this goal [20]. The integrated Teaching and Learning (ITL) Program at the University of Colorado at Boulder created a PENG outreach program for K–12 instructors and students to inspire students about the benefits of PENG topics.

caused different levels of EM understanding by students, separate from the standardizedcourse curriculum. Our use of the verbiage “Engineering Mindset” in the assignment prompt alsopresents a limitation in that it differs from the verbiage that is explicitly used in KEEN’s EMLframework, thus limiting this work’s direct integration with other EM concept map studies in theliterature.Assessing EM depends on more facets than those of just the classroom. Students who attend ouruniversity have diverse backgrounds, coming from different races, genders, socioeconomicbackgrounds, and different levels of high school preparation. As a result, a generalized plan fordeveloping an EM could result in certain groups missing out on some of the proposed benefits

This multilevel integration is crucial for achieving the full benefits ofreflection in education [19].

Inaddition, findings indicate an increase in understanding of social justice concepts along with anincrease in ability to identify social injustice.

These activities have been integrated into first year engineering courses on severalcampuses. One of these activities is called Toxic Workplaces. In gameplay, the students arepresented with scenarios that involve ethical dilemmas. Each scenario comes with severalpossible responses. The game involves the student/player attempting to rank these possibleresponses in order of popularity. Thus, players do not necessarily need to take a position on whatthey themselves would do, but rather are attempting to match the
