While we cannot teach students the experience of an industryprofessional within a classroom, we can attempt to advance their skills acquisition by exposing them tothe situational context that may influence their judgments and attempt to make them more involved in theoutcomes of their decisions. Implementing frameworks such as the cognitive apprenticeship frameworkwhich focuses on novices learning the problem-solving process of experts from experienced professionalsmay be useful in addressing this gap [19]. Our future research in this area hopes to explore the impact ofsuch

Although intended as an improvement over the theorytheory-based approach because it seems to provide students with tools and procedures, they canuse to work through moral decisions they may face in their careers [7], this approach still hasseveral limitations. Firstly, many of the cases used are several decades old, potentially leadingstudents to view them as irrelevant to modern engineering challenges [2].

With theproven importance of introductory ECE education in influencing students’ undergraduateinterests and future career prospects in technology, the inaccessibility of the field to learners withdisabilities poses an inequitable access barrier that further marginalizes these learners, oftenpreventing them from exploring the field in the first place.
