Theweekly sessions followed a lecture-type series with different guest speakers introducing the TAsto key pedagogical topics such as Bloom’s taxonomy, active learning, rubric design, studentmotivation, and ethics. The seven bi-weekly assignments engaged the GTAs by asking them towrite their reflections on personal teaching experiences related to the topics presented in thecourse. The service learning project was optional, and it required the GTAs to design and teach anengineering module in one of the local schools’ classrooms.

The needed skills to define, design anddevelop engineering technology solutions are introduced and developed. Planning and designingalternatives that meet cost, performance, and user-interface goals are emphasized while consideringdifferent design approaches. In addition, project planning, scheduling, and management techniques arestudied. Teamwork, global and societal concerns, and professional ethics are integrated into course

Her research draws from perspectives in anthropology, cultural psychology, and the learning sciences to focus on the role of culture and ideology in science learning and educational change. Her research interests include how to: (a) disrupt problematic cultural narratives in STEM (e.g. brilliance narratives, meritocracy, and individualistic competition); (b) cultivate equity-minded approaches in ed- ucational spheres, where educators take responsibility for racialized inequities in student success; and (c) cultivate more ethical future

If leaderboards are implemented without the meansof hiding personal identities, there arises the issues of a transparency of individual performance.Students can algorithmically deduce the status of their peers, which has numerous ethical and so-cial issues. Gamification is often based on a one-size-fits-all approach (consistency across badges, quests,etc.), which may not be appropriate for everyone. This lack of customization on a personal levelcan lead to different groups of students losing interest. Some may find the games too difficult

Many design experiences happen in the first-year and senior year courses,though increasingly they are being incorporated into courses along the entire program [2]–[4].Instructors must make many decisions when developing design challenges, not all of which areclear. For instance, in senior capstone design, faculty commonly contend with ABETrequirements, ethics, project management, appropriate scope, appropriate technical content, andteam dynamics [5]–[7]. With
