to the civil engineering profession and their chosen major.This is accomplished through discussion topics, including the engineering design process,aspects of a profession, codes of ethics, sustainability, and technology. CE201 was added to thecivil engineering curriculum during the fall of 2018 and has subsequently been offered every fallsemester. As a required course in the civil engineering curriculum, it is commonly taken during astudent’s first semester in the program, but occasionally it is taken later by students who transferinto the program late. The course is typically team-taught by 2-3 instructors.There are multiple writing assignments within CE201. One reflective essay requires students towrite about their process of selecting
science and human considerations. The National Academyof Engineering (NAE) frequently emphasizes the complexity of modern engineering challenges,such as in their report Grand Challenges for Engineering [1]. As engineering challenges becomeincreasingly complex, there’s been a notable rise in interest in engineering education research.More and more engineering education programs have been developed in the US, which havedeveloped dedicated programs to focus on engineering education research. The number ofgraduate and doctoral degrees awarded in the U.S. has risen since the early 21st century [2], andwhile engineering and education have long produced PhDs, recent technological advancementshave significantly reshaped the PhD process [3].

productivity isespecially important in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines,where success hinges on both the generation of innovative ideas and their practicalimplementation. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic we were able to see howengineers used their creative productivity for the rapid development and deployment ofventilators and other medical equipment under resource-constrained conditions. Engineeringteams around the world harnessed their creativity to design and produce necessary medicalequipment (i.e., critical care ventilators developed by General Motors and Ventec Life Systems,3D printing of personal equipment and face shields) quickly. Despite the known importance ofengineering creativity for daily life

past decade [3]. Women currently make up fewer than 20% of graduates inMechanical Engineering (ME) at both undergraduate and graduate degrees [3].Fig. 1. Reproduced graphic from the U.S. Department of Labor using U.S. Census Bureau data [4].This persistent gender gap in engineering has significant implications for innovation, economiccompetitiveness, and social equity. A lack of diverse perspectives in engineering can limitcreativity and problem-solving, hindering the development of technologies that meet the needs ofa diverse population. For example, the design of medical devices or automobile safety featuresmay be less effective for women if engineers lack the body types and lived experiences ofwomen. Furthermore, this lack of diversity also
