: Engineering identity formation is not simply the result of technical knowledgeacquisition, but also that of enculturation. Both processes are intricately linked to the places (i.e.,physical infrastructures) in which they unfold such as laboratories, classrooms, communal areas,and other engineering spaces on a university campus. Places act as a conduit for engineeringenculturation, as it is within these settings that students are inundated with value-laden symbols& representations, participate in engineering activities and rituals, and are expected to adopt andembody dominant engineering mindsets and attitudes towards technical problem solving.Recognizing that the physical infrastructure of a place can serve as a tangible manifestation ofbroader

calculations make EA morecredible than other, “softer” forms of moral reasoning, which might be tainted by emotion, bias,or other subjective sources of error. This case for EA is made most assertively by thepsychologist Paul Bloom: Empathy is biased; we are more prone to feel empathy for attractive people and for those who look like us or share our ethnic or national background. And empathy is narrow; it connects us to particular individuals, real or imagined, but is insensitive to numerical differences and statistical data… Laboratory studies find that we really do care more about the one than about the mass, so long as we have personal information about the one. In light of these features, our public decisions

Academic OutcomesAt its core, mindfulness is a practice that involves enhancing awareness of the present moment,which can significantly improve skills necessary for successful academic outcomes such assustained focus, increased open-mindedness and innovation, and time management. Sustainedfocus is crucial for engineering students who must master complex concepts and problem-solving skills. Mindfulness practices help train the mind to resist distractions and redirectattention to the task [30]. By regularly engaging in mindfulness practices, engineering studentscan develop the mental discipline to stay focused during lectures, laboratory work, and studysessions. In addition to improving concentration, mindfulness promotes a non-judgmental andopen

A much better remedy is “knowingboys, understanding schools, and having some idea of what a problem in education looks likeand of how to go about to solve it” [p. 545].

What is not often taught, however,are the various skills necessary in the social processes that make teaming effective:communication, delegation, and conflict resolution, to name a few [30]–[32]. The socialcircumstances in which these skills become relevant can reveal hidden epistemologies that guidethe teaming process, especially when gender differences and dynamics are considered [21].Within engineering, these epistemologies are woven into the culture of engineering learningenvironments and often the engineering field itself [18].
