Thistechnology was related to their social studies curriculum on the features of different societies.After learning about the proposed designs, the students responded synchronously on acollaborative virtual whiteboard (a Jamboard; see Figure 1) to specific prompts related to theoverarching question of whether the technology should be constructed.

providing leadership education concurrent to real-worldexperiences is effective.IntroductionDeveloping leadership skills is accepted by industry, faculty, and students as an important part ofthe engineering curriculum for engineers starting their careers [1] - [3]. However, it is widelyperceived that undergraduate engineering students lack leadership skills necessary for theircareers [2], [4], [5]. The importance of learning teamwork and leadership while in school isreflected in the ABET General Criteria for engineering programs [6]. Integrating leadershiptrainings specifically into senior capstone courses is often used by academia to educate studentson leadership, given it is the culminating curriculum work and they typically work in teams [7

day of class to give the teams a chance tocelebrate their accomplishment and acknowledge their achievement.Measuring SuccessAnecdotally, several our students mentioned that one of the things they learned in the first-yearwas that taking care of the mental health was an important part of success. Even morementioned the value of grit and growth mindset in obtaining their goals and having a successfulcareer. The discussion of mental wellness is not easy, especially for engineers and engineeringstudents. There are a lot of societal stereotypes around mental wellness and openly admitting tomental health struggles is frowned upon.To measure the success of this curriculum shift, we cannot base it on statistics and sample size.We have to realize that

And, finally, it is defeating when there is nopathway to changing. It should not be the work of marginalized students to rectify what areultimately systemic deficiencies. Improving marginalization on teams is a structural undertakingthat requires change from many parts of an engineering curriculum and department or program,and minoritized students should feel like there are pathways for change.ConclusionWe suggest that curricula and overall pedagogy of engineering education must shift to hold spacefor Black and Brown students to be their full selves.

In the effort to encourage students to take the FE exam and prepare for a professional careerin civil engineering, many measures, programs, and policies are frequently taken by CEEdepartments including explicitly requiring students to take the FE to graduate, hiring licensedprofessional faculty, and offering an optional or required formal FE review course [3]. Numerousuniversities have operated FE review courses as an effective tool to improve exam participation[4], [8], [9].

Many that integrated empathy did notdirectly explore its growth or development, it was more of a component considered or as part ofthe curriculum rather than the goal of the research. For example, McDonald and Pan (2020)presented feedback from graduate students on ethical considerations for artificial intelligence[49]. While this work elicited insight into prompting consideration of bias and fairness, fosteringempathy was more of an indirect outcome than the phenomena of focus. Alternatively studiesconducted in other countries were excluded since the interpretation and assessment of empathymay vary by culture depending on the societal norms and preferences

Problem solving skills are critical to becoming an effective engineer.

CBL can serve as an additional motivation factor for many engineeringstudents, those that are top-performing and those that are lower performing. These competitionshelp engineering students become comfortable with divergent problems with open-endedsolutions. Also, these competitions bring in a fun and playful spirit into the curriculum and allowstudents to develop a passion for learning and to excel beyond grade-based performance.References[1] C.

Such "rigorous" approaches privilege students whoalready have high academic literacy or who are already adept at managing higher education'sunofficial rules, routines, and structures - also known as the hidden curriculum. An emphasis onrigor does not necessarily build academic literacy or unpack the hidden curriculum for studentswithout that privilege [3].
