This includes giving students tools to be aware of the impact of their projects,motivating students from diverse backgrounds, and ensuring that students feel safe in theclassroom. Building a community of equity-minded faculty and learning from peers are alsosignificant motivators. Participants value the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues whoshare a commitment to DEI and create systemic change within engineering education. They seekto center DEI as a driver of innovation and to change the mindset that DEI does belong inengineering. Participants showcase a strong desire to be agents of change by turning DEIawareness into action and addressing structural and societal issues

As far asacademic guidance goes, Phil appreciates the support provided by engineering faculty,describing a mentor’s role as pivotal in his personal and professional growth. He says,“Professor Patel is easily my favorite professor. I started doing [design] with him, and wedo research projects. You can just tell he's always looking out for his students. he's verypersonal.

Michael stated that after participating in the survey he became interested in trying outChatGPT for designing rubrics and animations, but he was not satisfied with the GenAI’soutcomes. However, he utilized ChatGPT to design simple quizzes, “I refer to ChatGPT togenerate some questions. It is one of the resources. It's not the only one that I use, but it is goodfor simple questions”. Michael also described using ChatGPT to generate code for algorithmslike Horsepool and Merge Sort, though these attempts often resulted in errors

hearing what [they] had to say and interacting with people’s opinions that differed from my own such as theirs. I recognize this is a major hindrance and flaw in myself, as I believe one of the great problems of our world today is not listening and hearing what others have to say, which often differ than our own opinions. By the end of our class, I gained a new respect for [named student] and [their] viewpoints. I believe that the T-Group has helped me to become a significantly more effective leader, in that I’m attempting to more fully consider everyone’s needs and working styles as the project goes on. It is nice to know that I can be influenced in positive ways like that. That could also explain why I have influence in the

achievementsand their self-perception as a STEM learner. Marcus mentioned during the interview, I don’t think I only have a STEM identity ‘cause I also have a creative identity. 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

In a related study, Faber and Benson [19] similarly found that the epistemic climatesignificantly shapes students’ problem-solving strategies by influencing their goals andmotivation, depth of engagement, source selection, evaluation approaches, and willingness toconsider alternative solutions. One student, Lily, exemplified this influence saying, “Yeah, if this[homework] was a huge part of my grade, or was a big test or big group project, I definitelywould have looked further than on my online book, my textbook, and my slides.
