contributing to narrow perceptions of ethicsamong students.22 For example, educational reforms aiming to introduce more social and ethicalrequirements into curricula can be perceived by students as “constraints” and “discreterequirements” rather than integral to both their education and future professional practice.Related research has additionally questioned whether engineering education has measurableimpacts on the ethical capabilities and moral development of engineering students. For instance,Shuman et al. coded student responses to an open-ended ethical dilemma, and found littleevidence of growth in ethical reasoning from the freshman year to senior year, althoughrelatively few of these students had taken formal ethics courses.23 Similarly, Wu et

multidisciplinary curriculum involving two or moresubject areas not only increases students’ competence in complex problem solving and thuscompetitiveness in the workforce, but also increases interest in future coursework for women [5,6, 7, 8]. The inclusion of engineering majors that support multidisciplinary pathways could helprecruit and retain more engineers into the workforce, as well as help balance the ratio of men towomen engineers practicing the profession.Recently at several universities (such as University of Colorado Boulder, Boise State, OregonState, Texas A&M, Purdue, and University of Southern California), there has been an emergenceof new engineering majors which incorporate outside disciplines into engineering studies,allowing for more

Students can experiment with how differentgain values change the response of the grid to changes in load and generation. An objective is tooptimize the scoring metric by changes to the PID gains. The system of generation, loads, batterysystem and closed loop control is summarized in .With the automatic control engaged, the player takes on the strategic role, while maintaining asupervision of the operations of the microgrid, of deciding how to grow their operations byinvesting their points.

(age, gender, citizenship, academic discipline, and stage of persistence) and theirpreferences for three styles of mentoring as assessed by the Ideal Mentor Scale (IMS): Integrity,Guidance, and Relationship. The study concluded that “graduate students’ perceptions of theideal mentor are influenced somewhat by major socio-cultural factors, but also suggest thatindividual differences may play a larger role” [25]. Mutual respect fosters an environment ofstrong relationship for effective engagement and attracts students who commit and want tofollow the mentor because, relationally, the students are motivated by the sense that the mentorcares for them more than his or her positional rights, and so are willing to follow in theirmentor’s directives

In addition, the model includes continued opportunities for students toincorporate their skills into their programs of study and dissertation research. By moving awayfrom the ‘sole’ bootcamp-style program, spacing the learning opportunities over time [19]-[20]and integrating learning opportunities into their programs of study we hope to achieve moreeffective outcomes.

meaning and purpose.McAdams writes, “the I becomes an autobiographical author; the Me becomes the story it tells”[17].As such, in modern society, storytelling can be leveraged in a variety of ways to support socialcohesion, identity discovery, and sensemaking to positively impact even the engineeringclassroom. For example, the Academic Pathways Study found that for some engineeringstudents, an engineering career was not necessarily the expected end goal (14% definitely not,12% probably not, and 8% unsure) [18]. This data highlights that learning, even in anengineering curriculum, should be broad enough to support students headed to a variety ofcareers that may be related or adjacent to STEM fields.In fact, students’ expectations for the value of

While leadership is recognized as an integral part ofengineering and engineering education, there are nuances of leadership that are unique tomarginalized groups in engineering, such as Black engineers. Studies regarding engineeringleadership often highlight the importance of technical competency and social or professionalskills related to effective engineering leadership [3]–[5]. These skills are closely connected to anengineer's various funds of identity in where, how, and who they interact with in leadership.However, for the early-career Black engineers in this study, these aspects of their identity andleadership are only recognized and appreciated in specific spaces in engineering.

This process is typically focused on understandingenough to make a productive change to a situation rather than primarily seeking to understand theroot cause.The problem-solving mindset is also prevalent in engineering education, but there are critiquesthat assert the curriculum isn’t fully representative of the profession [12]. In the UK, MacLeodsuggests that engineering education is geared toward developing an academic mindset rather thanan engineering mindset [13]. He mentions that the education that engineers receive doesn’t helptheir ability to innovate because it centers around a theoretical approach where problems arewell-defined. This approach differs greatly in comparison to the engineering practice, whereengineers must often

Within the specific areas of math and science skills andcollege credit, continued emphasis within the military service and higher education may helpalleviate these challenges through advising SVSMs early and often in the transition towardhigher education. The unique firehose approach to engineering education for SVSMs is an area worthy offurther inquiry. The SVSM attributes of self-confidence, discipline, and strong work ethic maybe under-appreciated or misaligned with current (traditional) higher education curriculum andpractices. Faculty and administrator may consider intensive summer ‘boot camp’ programs.These programs could provide SVSMs with the additional educational
