. IntroductionEngineering curriculum frequently focuses on technical, analytical, and decision makingknowledge and skills, evident by the common focus of courses on math and physics principles[1]–[3]. Course problem sets and projects routinely focus on determining variables and solvingequations where there is one “right” answer [4]. However, engineering work is inherently bothtechnical and social [5], [6]. To address major problems of today’s world, engineering studentsneed to develop contextual and cultural competencies, ethical responsibility, and socialengagement knowledge and skills, as well as the ability to work across disciplinary boundaries[7]–[10]. Engagement in these skills, which we collectively call “comprehensive engineeringknowledge and skills”, are

This paper will present a disability justice-informedperspective in hopes of allowing librarians who work with disabled STEM student to gain a morenuanced understanding of ableism and the many barriers disabled people encounter in STEMfields as well as more broadly in higher education. IntroductionIn recent years, there has been a significant and much needed focus on diversity, equity, andinclusion (DEI) in academia. Although some progress has been made regarding DEI policies,programs, and awareness [1], [2], critics have pointed out there is still much to be done, notingthat many students and scholars continue to regularly experience oppression and discriminationon

For instructors, it can be hotly debated on the practical use for increasing learningwhile others will debate the grade inflation aspect [1, p. 27]. As for students, a much moreoptimistic view of the concept is more widely accepted since extra credit works in the benefit ofthose partaking. In the existing literature, there is no universal positive or negative opinion onextra credit in the classroom as the practice is mostly left up to the individual instructor.

We also find that learning self-efficacy and GPA are statistically significant predictorsof outcome expectancy. We believe these results will help advance our understanding of engineer-ing students’ motivational beliefs and help instructors identify specific groups of students that mayneed additional support and assistance.1 IntroductionAs the importance of acquiring computational skills increases, there is a growing emphasis onadding more programming and data analysis courses in the undergraduate curriculum, especiallyfor engineering majors [1

As such, it has been shown that this tailored instruction and support to each studentcan improve their learning outcomes [3], [4].

such as mechanical andcivil engineering [1]. The tools of the engineer in students’ minds are often closer to a hammer ora wrench rather than a test tube or beaker, and thus their conception of engineering is oftenlimited at best [1]. This can get further complicated by the lack of interdisciplinarity exemplifiedin the engineering classroom. When engineering instruction is scaled at the university level, thereis the potential to lose interdisciplinarity as well as too much emphasis on limited topics relevantto the field of engineering [2]. When this happens, the curriculum may revert to limiting thecurriculum to the most popular images of engineering, fields such as mechanical, civil, andcomputer engineering [1].The goal of this work is to
