Years before he had run into a torsional problem when working with a group ofsenior students on their senior project and had had trouble even finding how to analyze theproblem. Another example came from an “older” student who had been working a number of Proceedings of the 2001 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Page 6.246.3 Copyright  2001, American Society for Engineering Educationyears as a design engineer and was taking

small group activities. I also reliedupon the teaching philosophy that I had outlined during the diversity and learning stylesworkshop.The CPPD syllabus incorporated a wide range of topics that I felt were consistent with mymission and teaching philosophy. Topics varied from developing a positive self-image andattitude, time management, developing a career plan and successful career management toproblem solving, analysis, technical writing, and interpersonal skills. I also identified bothtraditional and non-traditional activities to accompany my lesson units, such as journal writing,role-playing and solving logic problems. The course culminated with a final project for whichstudents had to prepare and present a very detailed career plan in

change most strongly if projections come to fruition [4,16-17].Climate anxiety can be maladaptive or adaptive. It’s been demonstrated that people whoexperience an adaptive response are more likely to respond through behavioral engagement (pro-environmental action). When the anxiety response becomes maladaptive, resulting in challengeswith excessive worry and trouble with concentration, it has been observed that this behavioralengagement link weakens. In the context of climate anxiety, this is sometimes referred to as eco-paralysis [3, 18].Climate Change Anxiety ScaleAlthough there is an increasing interest in emotional responses to climate change, the method ofmeasuring this response has differed substantially [14, 19].

often leads to mediocre performance in a working environment despite the students’education. Thus, it is imperative to teach professional skills to students.Ethics is a professional skill that holds great importance for engineers and is evaluated for theprofessional engineer designation [4]. During their engineering studies, students are often notdeeply exposed to ethical constructs until their final year. This can result in students designingproducts and projects without considering the ethical implications their creations may have.Therefore, a module focused on the relevance of ethics to engineering was developed for incomingfirst-year students to expose them to ethical frameworks.LITERATURE REVIEWIn traditional settings of large lecture

overarching goal is to amplify the voicesand perspectives of minoritized students, positioning them as knowledge holders and generatorsdeserving recognition in our quest for educational equity within engineering. Our studychallenges the idea that students inherently lack and need "fixing." Instead, we contend thatportrayals of deficit mindsets, attitudes, stereotypes, whiteness and hypermasculinity in socialmedia further sideline students and perpetuate flawed notions of success in engineering.Context of the StudyThis project focuses primarily on the portrayal of engineering identity(ies) in digital mediaspaces.

The simple graphical interface helpedparticipants program the sensors without needing a great deal of outside assistance. The hopewas that this project would provide a less expensive approach to navigating through daily life,since this type of technology can be prohibitively expensive for many people, and can requiremore technological knowledge than many people possess. The way in which those facing cognitive issues interact with technology can be differentthan the general population, so some special accommodations may need to be made [30]. Visualinteraction with

The participants illustrated how recognition from faculty throughrespect and disrespect was impactful in how they felt seen as engineers and navigating futurestudent-faculty relationships. If engineering education is going to answer calls to supportengineering identity development curricular and programmatically, changes will need to considerfeatures that support students beyond specific classroom assignments or projects. Engineeringfaculty serve as people already embedded in engineering communities who may help guidestudents into this community by making them feel like they do or do not

The MEAs in this study were assigned after the conceptswere first introduced in class (reinforce). Students worked in teams of three on the MEAs.Seven MEAs were used in the four courses.
