It is important to note thatMohr’s definition of ‘playing big’ is not about traditional ideas like wealth generation, prestige,or power. Instead, it is about taking bold, unencumbered strides toward work that is meaningfulto the individual.Book club objectives and organizationOne of the goals of the book club was to carve out time for participants to reflect on their pastexperiences and uncover what playing big means to them. Undergraduate engineering andcomputer science students’ schedules tend to be fast paced and packed with curricular, co-curricular, and

specific EM student outcomes was performed on the submitted groupwork from a section of the class taught in spring 2020. Rubrics with four performance levels for eachstudent outcome were created. A majority of the groups were proficient or exemplary in six of the EMstudent outcomes assessed, and all of the groups were proficient or exemplary in two. Additionally,the project was qualitatively assessed using student feedback and instructor reflections. Preliminaryresults indicate the project successfully met the stated PBL and EML goals. Future work will befocused on individualizing the EM assessment process and developing a baseline for comparison todetermine the effectiveness of the project at meeting the stated skillset-based course

is a shifting phenomenon across era andregion, intersecting with race, ethnicity, religion, age, and other identities. This socialnature is important to underscore as no single chromosomal, hormonal, orpsychological factor has been found to be a direct determinant in one’s genderidentity or expression. Psychological research finds that humans haveconceptualizations and expressions of gender which are fluid and unmappable tofixed biological binary, even for cisgender subjects [4]. Instead, the “human brainmosaic” represents fluidity and multiplicity across all humans [5]. Investigatinggender in engineering should reflect this nuanced complexity. Studying genderbecomes almost academically dishonest when it is reduced to a binary variable

. While mostcreativity frameworks involve divergent thinking (concept generation), convergent thinking(iterating a prototype), as well as openness to idea exploration, and reflection, in practice andunder constraints most engineering projects focus disproportionately on the first two of these four.Useful interventions might find ways to increase students’ “openness to idea exploration” and“reflection” about design.Studies have shown that students’ creativity increases when risk taking is supported in theclassroom (Daly [65] again, citing others). Increasing incentives for students to take risks andexplore ideas, and providing an environment in which they feel safe doing so, could disrupt the“lockstep” “death march” and enhance creativity and free

Arts-based research methods emerged as a branch ofWestern qualitative research theories and practices [66] that occur along a continuum of art-science, which providesflexibility for using creative practices in the research design, content generation, analysis, and/or interpretation.

To fill the gap in the literature, we seek to include minority and underrepresented student experiences to expand the aggregated definitions for student success. These aggregated definitions of student success establish the desired outcome for scholars, administration, and presumably students, yet overlook what success means to students.4.

In other words, how do we help students develop an ethical mindset?We believe that it is within their academic training that future technologists can be best preparedto develop an ethical mindset and can be equipped to respond to the challenging decisions theywill have to make when they enter the workforce.
