cohesion, collaboration, and communication, while widespreadpreference for Marginalization can result in weak workplace culture that lacks goals or missionand lead to low employee job satisfaction, engagement, and retention.By contrast, when most employees adopt an Integration attitude, the chances of diversitybecoming an accepted feature of the overall workplace culture are expected to increase, leadingto the multiculturalism of values, beliefs, and ideas that spawn creativity, innovation, equity, andinclusion [19]-[21]. Thus, maximizing the likelihood that engineers bring or are encouraged todevelop an Integration attitude to their jobs seems like the best approach for increasing thediversity in the engineering workforce.

reform needed thatconnects creativity to engineering in an atmosphere that welcomes diversity. Introduction Engineering is a creative and diverse profession integral to the sustainability of a rapidlyevolving economy, and a field where the diversity and perspectives of women engineers isessential [1], [2], [3]. This study examined the creative self-efficacy (CSE) of undergraduatewomen engineering majors, their beliefs about creativity, how they describe themselves ascreative, and their lived experiences that influenced them to choose engineering as a career path.ABET [4] highlighted the significant connection of creativity in engineering curriculum to theengineering profession.

specialization courses designed to meet students'graduation profile. Also, the curriculum includes four integrative courses, whose aim is toincorporate knowledge acquired by students from previous courses and integrate it into activitiesfor current projects and/or for use by companies out in the field. The last integrating course iscalled Degree Portfolio and culminates with the completion of the study program. This course isbased on multidisciplinary projects carried out by teachers of different specialties, finishing in anindividual examination before a commission composed of the course lecturers and externalevaluators who are invited exclusively for this process.Around 70% of college courses are specialized and are concentrated in the last 3 years of

middle school in Phoenix, Arizona.Dr. Cheryl A Bodnar, Rowan University Dr. Bodnar is an Associate Professor in the Experiential Engineering Education Department at Rowan University. Her research interests relate to the incorporation of active learning techniques such as game- based learning in undergraduate classes as well as integration of innovation and entrepreneurship into the engineering curriculum. In particular, she is interested in the impact that these tools can have on stu- dent perception of the classroom environment, motivation and learning outcomes. She was selected to participate in the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Frontiers of Engineering Education Sympo- sium in 2013, awarded the American

In another paper, we discuss the details of her algorithmand present a working program for use as an assignment for students in beginning computerclasses. IntroductionIn our engineering curriculum, we need to emphasize the human aspects of science andengineering. This need is clearly recognized by our accreditation agency, ABET, which requiresa portion of the curriculum to be set aside for such exposure. In order to be creative leaders inScience and Engineering

engineering education during the 2020-2021academic year. The transition to remote learning was particularly difficult for many of the hands-on experiential learning and laboratory courses that are integral parts of an engineeringeducation. Very few engineering programs in the United States offer purely remote learningenvironments for engineering students, and so this kind of teaching and learning was new forboth faculty, rapidly adjusting their curriculum in a short amount of time, and for the studentswho had to quickly adapt their learning styles [1]. In addition, most students across the countryleft their campuses and returned home to complete the spring 2020 semester from afar, leading tofewer interactions with their peers, faculty, and staff for

barriers that continue to exist in these environments. Forfaculty designing these programs it is important to understand how effective the programcomponents are in accomplishing these objectives and in particular how these barriers maymanifest differently for different students. To this end, we are studying solutions that canproactively engage and empower students in identifying and removing those roadblocks in theirdegree pathway. The integration of bi-weekly focus groups (FGs) for participatory actionresearch (PAR) in RAMP has been found effective in connecting and assessing multiple programelements from the students’ perspective. This has led to an improvement in program design overthe last four years and been successful in bringing together

These examples present ideasto spur the integration of environmental justice topics into civil and environmental engineeringcourses, while also inviting programs to more broadly consider an intentional across-the-curriculum approach.BackgroundDiversity, equity, and justice issues have garnered increased attention in 2020 as public outrageover the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and many others exploded. This led to broaderacknowledgement of systemic racial bias and inequalities in society at-large and within highereducation. In 2020 a number of institutions newly required the integration of justice, equity,diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) issues into students’ education, via

field) (Section2.1.1). Environmental engineering education may involve more interdisciplinary, community-and society-focused approaches than we might see in other engineering majors, although it is notyet clear how topics relating to gender and race are integrated into the curriculum (Section 2.1.2).In the broader social landscape of work, culture, and practice, femininities have strong culturalcasting in environmental spaces; women face challenges to being recognized as experts, holdingleadership roles, and having political (public sphere) representation than men do not face,challenges that are deepened for non-white women, and challenges despite bearingdisproportionate weight of the consequences of environmental degradation (alongside men
