- The ability to plan long-term, set goals, and align resources and actions to achieve them. 25 Thought processes It's because I connect theory to practice. I'm not disillusioned in the sense that where persons write these nice papers, and it just reads and goes on the shelf, and no one cares. No, my technique is, I put it in the newspaper. In the papers, I talk about it. I do my speeches about it. I will go to the schools and work with those students in that space. It's theory to practice... I try to create things that teachers or people can appreciate because I think that's one of the limitations of higher ed. We

These mentors help scholars build networks, honespecific industry skills, and gain insights into practical engineering challenges.Another cornerstone of the GEES program is its structured mentorship approach, whichaddresses challenges such as low self-confidence and career uncertainty. Each student workswith a mentor to develop an Individual Development Plan (IDP) based on SMART (Strategic,Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound) goals, as proposed by Wosu (2016) [3].The IDP outlines clear steps for skill development, career exploration, and professionalgrowth, making the mentorship relationship goal-driven and supportive.

In terms of implications, educators need to be mindful of howengineering design courses are planned and would benefit from incorporating mindfulnessepisodes within the lesson when students transition to tasks that require empathy. Thesemindfulness sessions may vary in length and research has shown that short sessions ofmindfulness lead to positive impact and improved self-awareness (Nolte et al., 2022).Making empathy visible in engineeringAlso in the review, scholars have highlighted that discrepancies in the ways we conceptualizeempathy impacts educators’ sense of its utility in their courses.

institution. In an odd coincidence, the deathof a non-student then took place at the U.S. East campus a couple of weeks later. The survey was launchedat U.S. East on October 24, which the team believes affected response rates at the sites as well (~5%). Thelaunch of the survey at U.S. Midwest was re-scheduled to the beginning of the Spring 2023 semester, andwas launched on January 23, 2023 with more satisfactory response rates (>10%). For Year 2 of our datacollection, we plan to maintain the different timing for data collection between institutions, but we willensure that for both data collection periods (Fall 2023 for U.S. East, and Spring 2024 for U.S. Midwest) weoffer the survey as early in the semester as possible to maximize response rates

consideration to alternativeperspectives.Human-Centered design was described as vital for ethics and considering the value of designs inrelation to engineering [26, 65]. Contextualizing problems was important for thinking about thebroader impact of designs on others and for finding more inclusive solutions [65, 66]. Oneparticularly creative approach to developing such skills, and thinking about the needs of others,was curricula established around “alien-centered design” [67]. Students were tasked withthinking about “a new, inter-galactic student exchange program planned with students from theplanet Xenos” in two courses. As part of the process, students in one of the courses applied moretraditional design methodogolgies to learn more about their

Outgoing students complete the IDI as part of pre-departurepreparations. The results are used by the respective directors to better supervise students in theirintercultural development and problem solve challenges for individual students as they occurduring their time abroad.

“how reforms in engineering are taken up in identityproductions” [24, p. 278]. The work described in this current paper focuses on this intersectionbetween a change in pedagogy and students’ engineering identities.Recent research proposes both quantitative and qualitative ways to measure engineering identity.For example, Godwin developed a survey to measure engineering identity, with a focus on threeconstructs: recognition as an engineer, interest in engineering, and performance/competence inengineering [25]. Meyers et al. also used a survey to model engineering identity developmentemploying stage theory [26]. They found that male students, students further in their studies, andstudents with future career plans in engineering are more likely

stakeholderengagement plan. During that activity, the term CSR was used and discussed, making it an explicit teachingmethod. Students also completed a role play activity where they are asked to take on the role of stakeholdersin a project, such as community member, regulator, consultant, and engineer. Students then debated amining problem and discussed what their needs are. This activity takes a much more implicit approach toCSR. It emphasizes the importance of listening to stakeholders and recognizing their needs, however theterm CSR isn’t explicitly used. Similar role play exercises were used by Professors Edwards and Garcia asa way to teach ethics in their technical courses. Professor Edwards used a more implicit method ofstakeholder mapping, integrating it

in both physical practice(e.g., developing or testing a physical prototype) and/or virtual practice (e.g., developing a CADmodel or drawing). Students in the PRL MCoP often engage in physical and virtual practice;experience ‘it worked’ and ‘it didn’t work’ moments; and revise their knowledge, technique,designs, and manufacturing processes accordingly. For example, consider how Brittany managesthe end of her casting project. With her project due in about two weeks, she has successfully casther major part but realizes a concern. Although she has conferred with CAs and has a plan forfixturing and machining her casting, this will be her first time post-machining, and she is unsurehow it will go. She explains that she normally prefers to ask CAs

The bulk ofthe planning work went into bridging the gap between the theory and the design, so most of thetime in developing this paper was spent in creating this guide.

Dr. Cox was leading this project with several of the “antidotes” to urgency described by Okun, including a commitment to equity and a work plan based on the experience of the people involved [33]. This Dialogue with Dr. Cox completely reshaped my idea of what true collaboration means and forced me to reflect on how often “urgency” got in the way of inclusive collaboration in my past work. I have grown to recognize my impatience when decision-making is taking a “long time” and to challenge the root of that impatience.Embracing differences through Dialogue can help develop accomplice behavior [11].
