ABET requires soft (professional) skillssuch as “an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership,create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meetobjectives” [criteria 3 (5)] and “an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences”[criteria 3 (3)], to be assessed once during the curriculum [5]. However, engineering graduatesfrequently face the challenge of acquiring or perfecting these skills in their first year ofemployment. Consequently, to prepare students to compete in a highly competitive job market,engineering programs must incorporate critical thinking and soft-skills training

fact one scholar even admitted that someone with a “bachelor's degree, makes a lot ofmoney doing things I don’t know what they do, but all I know they have a bachelor's degree”(Ontological Beliefs: uncertainty). Interestingly, one scholar mentioned that a college degreewould “allow employers to trust” them more.Although college is viewed as a necessary but unaffordable cost for these low-income scholars, itappears as if very few of them have a financial plan in place to be able to pay for their education.Responses to the question about how worried they are about affording college and to what extentthey have had conversations about this with their families indicates that they are somewhatworried (Epistemological Belief: worrisome) about college

Ranging from a half-day to twodays, the workshops provided guidance and perspectives from leaders in MRE education. Basedon participant feedback from these workshops and our goal for greater impact, we planned anddelivered a more intensive three-day, virtual, yet hands-on workshop in the Spring of 2022.The objectives of the workshop were to: 1) prepare current and future MRE educators to

In past research and curriculum development, engineering teachers haveimplemented curriculum around STEM-focused games [1], such as for urban planning [2],transportation engineering [1], chemistry education [3] and computational thinking [4]. Due tothe increased interactive engagement of games compared to lecture [5], [6], [7], engineeringeducators have utilized games to positively impact students' learning. However, theseeducational games are often only available in English. Students whose first language (L1) is notEnglish may be limited in how they present their ideas to peers in these playful spaces

courses in most engineering programs.Similarly, but not as specifically, technical electives allow students to tailor their technicaleducation to specialize in a subdiscipline of their broader major. An advantage of specializing ina subdiscipline is the opportunity for the students to build a depth of knowledge in an area thatstudents taking a more general approach to an engineering discipline may not gain. Additionally,students can take courses that might not be directly related, but that would provide them with aset of skills that they feel will give them an edge in their planned career.

Theuniversity currently has a ~1.2 MW photovoltaic (PV) solar system that provides ~7% of theenergy consumed on campus. While a good start, this contribution is low considering theuniversity’s location in Southern California; there is an opportunity to greatly increase campusreliance on solar energy, and the university has committed to reaching carbon neutrality by 2035.The course was
