such as mechanical andcivil engineering [1]. The tools of the engineer in students’ minds are often closer to a hammer ora wrench rather than a test tube or beaker, and thus their conception of engineering is oftenlimited at best [1]. This can get further complicated by the lack of interdisciplinarity exemplifiedin the engineering classroom. When engineering instruction is scaled at the university level, thereis the potential to lose interdisciplinarity as well as too much emphasis on limited topics relevantto the field of engineering [2]. When this happens, the curriculum may revert to limiting thecurriculum to the most popular images of engineering, fields such as mechanical, civil, andcomputer engineering [1].The goal of this work is to

–findings. In addition, weunderstand that the path to becoming an anti-racist and socially just researcher is not completelylinear; it is complex and nuanced as students challenge their ways of knowing. Regardless ofwhat the path looks like, or how circuitous it is, our goal remains to provide graduate studentswith the skills to become socially just engineering researchers. This paper outlines the process ofcreating a course for graduate students that helps prepare them for engineering research withequity and justice in mind. By outlining the course development, structural components, and theinitial findings from the first offering of the course within our 3-year longitudinal study, we hopeto provide other engineering departments with encouragement

engineering degrees should be interdisciplinary andmultidisciplinary. Skills related to new technologies, digitalization, and soft skills areessential. Engineering has been stereotyped as weak in soft skills (interpersonal skills,communication), so there should be a change in the tunnel mind of "what I do" tounderstanding what others do and how they relate.Therefore, everyone must understand and participate in how things and technology areevolving in the upcoming workforce. Work in teams and engage with colleagues in thetransition. Still should be resolved challenges among academia, industry, government, andaccreditation bodies. For example, there are ideas that industry and academia are far awayand disconnected when both spaces allow for new

What are the similarities and differences in metaphor use across the two genres?2.
