Specifically, the correlation between items #6 and #10in both pretest and posttest phases suggests that students’ self-perceived learning skills align withtheir ability to distinguish between rote memorization and genuine understanding—a central goalof the LHETM approach.The positive correlations between item pairs #6 / #13 ( = 0.579, p = 0.012) and #7 / #13 ( = 0.542,p = 0.020) in the pretest phase alone reveal an intriguing predictive relationship: students’ initialconfidence in

of a wider range of ethical implications and societal impacts. Byembracing DEI, the engineering discipline is better positioned to tackle the grand challenges ofour time, from climate change to equitable access to technology, with solutions that are as variedand complex as the issues themselves [14], [15]. In essence, the integration of DEI into theengineering discipline enhances the field's ability to generate transformative solutions that areequitable, sustainable, and reflective of the needs of all segments of society. It is not just an idealto aspire to but a practical necessity for the continued relevance and progress of the engineeringprofession.Chemical Engineering, like many engineering fields, grapples with the underrepresentation
findings demonstrate that our approach shows promise forachieving these objectives through the implemented coursework.IntroductionThe engineering profession has always aimed to serve society’s needs. However, in some cases,engineering designs and products benefit some at the detriment of other groups [1], [2]. Withjustice issues affecting millions around the world, many engineering programs have startedintroducing modules and themes in their curriculum to educate students on such injustices andoffer approaches to help them address these issues. The environmental engineering discipline isuniquely positioned to recognize environmental injustice, understand its adverse health andeconomic outcomes, and advance ethical approaches and solutions to

Students will understand that teamwork promotes: a. Development of an ethical mindset and ability to seek assistance to get the job done. b. Collaborative skills, experience, and knowledge to solve challenging problems. c. Credibility of solutions derived from multiple perspectives. d. Learning from and professional development for team members. e.

Empathy has been discussed as an importantcomponent of engineering professional formation [7, 8]. To increase the use of empathy inengineering design and engineering ethics, the incorporation of empathy case studies [9, 10],workshops [11], or modules [9, 12, 13] into the engineering curriculum has been investigated.Previous researchers have observed that inauthentic design experiences may prevent studentsfrom achieving desired learning outcomes [10

This is particularly true in chemical engineering, where replicating hands-onexperiences and ensuring safety and ethical considerations are especially critical [10]. Researchstudies in different contexts also suggest that these learning environments present severalchallenges, including replicating hands-on experiences [11], dealing with equipment limitations[12], [13], effectively assessing learning outcomes [14], adapting pedagogy to suit the onlineenvironment and ensuring safety and ethical considerations [15].Graphical characterization of pumps is critical to ensure optimal performance and compliance withtechnical and safety

additional sources of critical consciousness developmentinto the curriculum, enabling a more comprehensive evaluation of students' change over time.Although Castaneda’s (2019) results were counter-intuitive, it does not negate the fact thatengineers can benefit from the development of critical consciousness. Like Castaneda’s (2019) work Trbušić (2014) proposed that reforming engineeringeducation involves examining and critically questioning engineering curricula and practices. Thegoal of the work was to introduce a critical pedagogical approach to foster conscientizationamong engineers, enhancing their ethical acumen by raising awareness about a wide range ofpressing issues such as sustainability, environmental protection, poverty eradication
