lessexpensive goods (that more people can afford) at the expense of loss of jobs.During the fall 2014 semester, it was clear that students easily grasped the connection betweencontrol system design and safety, with a large portion of the team-based final projects using asafety-related concept to drive one or more of their selected design specifications. In classdiscussion and individual conversations, it was also clear that students could see thephilosophical connection between the bigger picture engineering decisions (e.g., moving towardindustrial automation) and social justice, though they clearly perceived a disconnect betweenthese more philosophical concepts and the details of the classroom activities.Since the fall 2014 semester was the first

Spinoza’s call for caution. Reason became a tool in the grip of evil. Here in the United States, President Truman either was unaware or ignored the pleas of O.C.Brewster, a talented engineer, who as a condition for working on the Manhattan Project hadreceived written assurance from Franklin Roosevelt that a demonstration nuclear bomb would bedropped first—as a warning—before actual use against a city. A petition18 from Leo Szilard,physicist, signed by 70 colleagues, had recommended a hold on atomic weaponry, but this wasignored by Secretary of War Henry Stimson, who said: “I think the bomb instead constitutesmerely a first step in a new control by man over the forces of nature too revolutionary anddangerous to fit into old concepts.” In fact

This, in turn, increases the potential for generating adesign solution that best meets a problem’s given constraints.The importance of ideation within the engineering design process is recognized equally in bothacademic and industrial settings9. The collaborative nature of engineering design is also well-established,9 with individuals of different personalities, technical backgrounds, and levels ofexperience coming together to meet shared design objectives. Following this real-world practice,engineering educators routinely put students in design teams to complete both simple andcomplex projects. However, in many cases, they do not consider the cognitive diversity amongthe students in

). In all, we intend from the findings of this study to generate a set of principles thatteachers can consider when they are creating learning environments in which their studentsengage in engineering. Teachers might engage students in socially-situated activities that aresimilar in purpose to those of engineers. Within this context, they can provide their students withdevelopmentally-appropriate genres that are similar to those engineers read; and they can modelfor their students how to evaluate those genres like engineers evaluate texts. On a pragmaticlevel, ultimately, we also intend for this project to result in instructional materials, including setsof texts for students and guiding teachers’ materials (e.g., discussion prompts) that might

If I’m working on non-disability-related projects, I feel it less salient and relevant to my research and will not disclose. However,in my current research area of exploring identity formation in undergraduate civil engineeringstudents who experience disability, I often feel the need to disclose my disability, particularly asa way to justify my interactions with participants and key themes that I pull from my data. While the decision to disclose may sound straightforward and steadfast, it can be quitecomplex, confusing, and risky.

That iswhy their study of Whiteness never forgets who should be centered: those that Whiteness hurts,oppresses, and marginalizes [18]. We understand that the lack of Black, Indigenous, and Peopleof Color (BIPOC) in engineering (i.e., supply) is not due to incapability or lack of persistence;it’s further downriver to the demand side—a

My own projects, whatever I’m into. Personally, I’m really into music, so as of now I’m a math and music major, so I find it difficult to balance those things ‘cause on one hand, STEM takes a really long time to do. Music also, in its own sense, takes a long time to do with having to practice every day, and going to concerts and rehearsals and stuff like that. I think they balance out each other nicely though since one is very analytical and one is very theatrical. I think it’s important to not just study, study, study. You have to do
