These significant teaching changes at theundergraduate level of engineering education have garnered the attention of internal educationresearchers, including our research team. Many published (e.g. [24] and [25]) and ongoing workshave been developed to better understand the student perspectives of the new teaching stylesoutlined prior.While the curriculum was designed with active and experiential learning opportunities in mind,we noted that some sections of teaching still relied on traditional lecture styles to conveytheoretical knowledge rather than using more interactive approaches. The implementation of thePivot was impacted by the COVID-19 global pandemic, requiring educators and learners to adaptto an online landscape

a pattern of Christina's marginalization in team dynamics; in one case, sheexperiences gender bias from her professor, in other cases, she is confronted with gender bias byher peers. Christina synthesizes these experiences in complex ways; she claims she doesn't let theexperiences get to her although they linger in her mind, and yet she frames it as a story about herpeers and instructor being the problem, not her.6.2.3 Comparison of Alberto’s and Christina’s marginalizing experiencesBoth participants expressed discomfort with the environment on their engineering campus, whichexudes an unwelcoming atmosphere for their identities because of the prominence of hetero-patriarchal norms.

2020). We believe adding thebreakout room facilitators helped, and we continue to address these comments.Overall, these findings also confirm the assumption that independent of the specific case studyparticipated in, participants found the case studies were valuable in assisting their learning. Weattribute this high-value ranking to the specific nature of the case studies and their directconnection to chemical engineering topics, where the majority of participants (graduate students,post-docs, and faculty) are conducting research in related areas. These case studies providedconcrete examples of analyses of research topics with social justice in mind, ideally givingparticipants a framework for similarly analyzing their own research

, designing a freshman programaimed at improving engineering self-concept is comparable to subduing the issue at its point oforigin. Having educators administering such mindful techniques to influence and buildengineering self-concept aims for the benefit of students. Improving engineering self-conceptamong freshmen requires that we educate future engineers to identify with the field, understandwhy their job is important for humankind, and have the motivation to persist in their career.ConclusionThe sampling of relevant research based on the set criteria for this systematic review resulted in16 papers that addressed the constructs of self-concept or self-efficacy. The analysis in this papercarefully delineated the features of these constructs into a

It doesn't really matter whether it's in person or online, and those ones I preferred online because the quality was the same as I would expect in person.

responsible working professional.IntroductionFor many years I listened to a podcast each week called Marketplace Weekend, from NPR, ashow that offered a mix of economic news, stories, and segments geared towards helping “peoplebetter understand the economic world around them” [1]. I was an avid listener and recalled thata constant mantra from hosts and pundits on the show was the need for better financial literacy.The podcast ended in 2018, but their persistent plea was planted in my mind. As we developed anew civil engineering program we had a blank slate, albeit with some ABET and many resourceconstraints, and we imagined many things to add to the program in addition to traditional civilengineering courses to better prepare graduates to enter the

We observed similaradvantages to having greater ethics exposure in our curriculum.Students found that the access to engineering-related ethics education within the engineeringcurriculum was limited, and the existing philosophy and ethics courses were interesting andexposed them to thought-provoking material. Still, students struggled to relate their philosophyand theology education to their careers in the engineering industry. In our work, we have foundthat dialogue drives expanding of the mind.
