The open feedback reflects that overall this type of involvement meets the program’sexpectations. Frustrations expressed largely reflect practical issues (EG scheduling). This suggests that overall ET programs are content with the status quo in the use of theirIABs. Only occasional remarks indicate that some would like to see a greater involvement infundraising.

In the end, we aim to gain a better understanding about whether the branch of theengineering profession called LTS cultivates imaginaries that echo LTS’s articulated values ofequity, justice, empowerment, and transformation and bring engineers closer to the publics theyaim to serve. Ultimately, we are interested in determining whether LTS aligns itself more closelywith diverse publics’ articulations of their own visions, definitions of their own needs, andvisions

Then, the focus shifts to a discussion on whyidentifying strengths alone is insufficient when considering what the students can offer futureemployers. The SWOT analysis is meant to imbue a stronger understanding of the externalfactors in students’ lives that can help, or perhaps hinder, them in the future.In the senior year course, the focus is on professional development: students revisit their careerplans, study ethics, learn responsible
