ultimate goal isto promote deeper cross-cultural understandings of creativity and provide actionable guidance forthe teaching and learning of creative design capabilities.2. Research of Culture Difference in Engineering EducationCulture plays a constructive role in engineering identity, behavior and ability (Rover, 2008;Markus & Hamedani, 2019). Traditionally, however, partly due to the perceived rationality ofengineering science and its practice (Vincenti, 1900; Bucciarelli & Kuhn, 2018), the cultural natureof engineering practice (i.e., engineering is cultural) is greatly undermined (David, 2018). Inmulticultural engineering work settings, minority groups are left with the default option to learnand adapt to the dominant cultural values
unique opportunity from mathematics education presents itself for design educators and facilitators; that is, teaching with manipulatives. We seek to transfer such practices in mathematics education to design education and practice. Challenges exist for design researchers to carefully craft activities in design education mainly because of the open-endedness of problems, decision-making that takes place while designing, and the inherent uncertainties in the design problems. Ultimately, the goal is to develop students’ ability to flexibly transfer expertise to other contexts and new design challenges” (Ali, Kinach, & Lande, 2019).ImpactsBy sharing learning trajectories across multiple communities, we seek to change the

We collected data in two iterations of two coursesthat made specific changes from in-person laboratory experiments to online experimentationthrough simulations.The first course was a one-credit course that serves as an introduction to chemical engineeringand contained primarily students in their first year of college. The first-year students worked ingroups. In 2019, 71 students in 19 groups provided consent and in 2020, 51 students in 13 groupsprovided consent.The second course was a three-credit laboratory course (the first of a four-course laboratorysequence) focused on thermodynamics. This course contained junior chemical engineers whoworked in groups

RedShirt students in the sophomore and junioryears responded to a semi-structured list of questions through focus group participation, withsome individual follow-up interviews.The thematic findings from sophomores and juniors include: academic strategies for respondingto more challenging classes; adjusting to new peer groups; developing identity as a minoritizedstudent; effects of advising interactions; and, dealing with living arrangements and other externalfactors.

Some universities established specialized writing centerswithin engineering departments where writing consultants trained in field-specific writing tasksare on hand to support students [6], while others paired specially trained writing tutors withspecific classes [7]. At the annual ASEE conference in 2019, a team of scholars from theUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign described their “Writing Across Engineering”program, in which writing specialists mentored STEM faculty on the integration of writing andcommunication skills in their courses [8]. In addition to these pedagogical collaborationsbetween writing and engineering faculty, scholars in writing across the curriculum (WAC

This mindset distinction was particularly important for theauthors’ department as it also aligned well with efforts to infuse character education in theirundergraduate engineering department [12], [13].In this context, the authors and their department have engaged with the Kern EngineeringEducation Network (KEEN) to adapt pedagogies that enhance EM to promote inclusion towardsimproved student self-efficacy and motivation. The KEEN framework postulates the “three C’s”of EM: curiosity, connections and creating value [14]. This framework is used extensively withinthe ASEE community. Beyond sharing pedagogical approaches or specific course outcomes, theframework has linked EM to ABET [15], program assessment [16
