of a wider range of ethical implications and societal impacts. Byembracing DEI, the engineering discipline is better positioned to tackle the grand challenges ofour time, from climate change to equitable access to technology, with solutions that are as variedand complex as the issues themselves [14], [15]. In essence, the integration of DEI into theengineering discipline enhances the field's ability to generate transformative solutions that areequitable, sustainable, and reflective of the needs of all segments of society. It is not just an idealto aspire to but a practical necessity for the continued relevance and progress of the engineeringprofession.Chemical Engineering, like many engineering fields, grapples with the underrepresentation
findings demonstrate that our approach shows promise forachieving these objectives through the implemented coursework.IntroductionThe engineering profession has always aimed to serve society’s needs. However, in some cases,engineering designs and products benefit some at the detriment of other groups [1], [2]. Withjustice issues affecting millions around the world, many engineering programs have startedintroducing modules and themes in their curriculum to educate students on such injustices andoffer approaches to help them address these issues. The environmental engineering discipline isuniquely positioned to recognize environmental injustice, understand its adverse health andeconomic outcomes, and advance ethical approaches and solutions to

Students will understand that teamwork promotes: a. Development of an ethical mindset and ability to seek assistance to get the job done. b. Collaborative skills, experience, and knowledge to solve challenging problems. c. Credibility of solutions derived from multiple perspectives. d. Learning from and professional development for team members. e. Better communication, trust, support, and a positive working environment. 4) Communication: Students will exercise their communication skills in oral and written

" responses. Responses to question 2 indicate that mentors were overconfident about their creative skills before participation in BEAM. This also indicates that mentors felt that they improved more than they had anticipated. Responses to question 7 indicate that mentors felt they had underestimated their leadership skills at the beginning of the semester. The "after" responses show that mentors gained more confidence as leaders. Responses to questions 1 and 8 seem to indicate that mentors felt BEAM had little impact on their analytical skills or standards of professional conduct. The response to question 8 could have stemmed from the fact that it was poorly worded and incorporated two different concepts (ethics and professionalism) into one

expose engineering freshmen to a survey of thediscipline through a FYE seminar or guest lectures4-7. Often these courses are characterized by alecture or seminar series that highlights the fundamentals of the discipline and/or the opportuni-ties that students might pursue after graduation. These courses may include some combination ofcomputer programming, computer aided design, economics, ethics, and/or overview of discipli-nary topics. These courses are typically offered in larger student cohorts and are more easilyscaled than project based courses. In these courses, guest lecturers or seminar speakers are acommon feature.There are several freshman year experience courses that encourage students to pursue a personalinterest in the field of

Theauthors reported that students did not appear to watch the videos unless assigned to do so. Acomputer science course documented by Hsin and Cigas [6] used short videos and reported apositive impact in that students were more satisfied with the course, were less likely to withdraw,and were more likely to pass the course. Itani [3] examined survey results for 92 students andconcluded that videos were a beneficial tool for learning engineering ethics. In some senses,student-focused videos are a version of peer-led learning, which has also been spoken

Armanios et al.(2021) highlighted how a curricular restructuring led to an increase from 17% to 69% in theincorporation of social justice concepts in students' final reflections, demonstrating the ability toinclude the social impact of engineering decisions.

Networking: In the United States, as in other countries, networking plays a big role in creating e opportunities and reinforcing the efforts to find employment. Background evaluation: In the United States, many employers would like to have candidates with US academic degrees and US experience, and they often ask for diplomas and references to support that. It is hard to convince many employers to give an engineer with overseas degrees and experience
