conversations about equity anddiversity in the classroom. The engineering curriculum is not neutral, and knowledge is producedwithin a power-driven social and cultural system [3, 4]. ABET student outcomes are not entirelytechnical and include that students must have an understanding of professional and ethicalresponsibility, the broad education necessary to understand engineering impacts in a global andsocietal context, and knowledge of contemporary issues. Nevertheless, discussing the societaland ethical implications of engineering and technology is often a daunting task for bothengineering students and instructors [5].At our university, as part of a National Science Foundation (NSF) Revolutionizing Engineeringand Computer Science Departments (RED

?IntroductionGraduate student instructors (GSIs) are not only essential to the instructional team at manyresearch institutions, but their teaching appointments are often the only teaching experiencesthey have prior to becoming faculty. Moreover, GSIs have been found to play an important rolein improving student retention and inclusion in science, technology, engineering and math fields(STEM) [1]. Undergraduate instructional aids (IAs) have also been found to benefit studentlearning [2, 3, 4], and their training is fundamental to that success [4, 5]. As a result, calls havebeen made to develop and improve the professional development of student instructors [4, 6].Trainings at different institutions range from two-hour departmental orientations with no

developing potential leaders among their faculty members.Currently the development efforts predominantly focus on core engineering expertise, which is acritical requirement in the ever-changing world of technology. However, there is a need toextend those efforts to leverage pedagogical innovations and to identify and develop leaders. Theauthors are working on this aspect (of developing leaders) at some Indian engineeringinstitutions and, the proposed framework is based on their experience. While the individual elements of the framework have been used at various institutions, itsfull implementation has not yet been completed to assess ultimate benefits. Based on ourexperience of partial implementations, we learnt that conducting workshops is
