, journalism, etc., do not communicate, although theywill need to work together in the future to create viable new paths forward. A hurdle tocurriculum change is that faculty have not been trained in sustainability concepts and typicallydo not teach across colleges. They are also unsure of how to address DEI, not wanting to get itwrong and cause harm as they experiment in the classroom. Some programs have therefore takena “train the trainer” approach, holding faculty workshops [1, 2]. The effectiveness of suchworkshops is not altogether clear; for example, instructors’ confidence in identifying effectiveways to include sustainability into their courses may not increase. We focused squarely onequipping faculty by providing demos and boosting

In Borrego, Douglas, & Amelink's [1] methods sourcebook specific to engineeringeducation, they claim that quantitative research should be limited to outcomes that aregeneralizable to a larger subset of the population. In contrast, qualitative research shouldexplore questions that cannot be answered without "rich, contextual descriptions of

made a shift from a field primarily focused ondeveloping engineering curriculum to considering identity and experience as core aspects ofeducation [1]–[3]. Much of this work has focused on engineering identity, or professionalidentity, formation and highlighting the interplay between individual identity and engineeringculture [4]–[6]. While work in engineering identity has become a prominent area of engineeringeducation research, it can also be somewhat narrow. Implicitly, studies in engineering identitytend to position students’ formation of an engineering identity as a positive outcome thatpromotes retention in the field [7]–[9] and students’ lack of engineering identity formation as aproblem to solve.

This solution not only provided the students with equitable infrastructure for doing all the required projects and hands-on experiments remotely but also could be used as a learning opportunity to provide students with more insight into the setup, design, functionality, and purpose of lab equipment. While in typical academic years and in the normal (in-person) mode of operation, the sophomore students in this course learned to use the laboratory equipment for doing projects and lab experiments, in this remote course students additionally learned how these equipment are designed and built through building one – the test-board – as one of their first projects.

Creating learningopportunities for children at an early age is critical for supporting long-term engineering-relatedinterest development and career pathways [3], [4].
