to personal opinions and biases. However, issues ofstructural racism and educational violence touch on all elements of higher education. In fact,many issues of discrimination and inequity are exacerbated in the science, technology,engineering, and math (STEM) fields. Engineering education in the United States has beenaccused of favoring white men at the exclusion of those traditionally underrepresented inengineering. However, contrary to the culturally responsive literature addressing approaches to“colorblindness,” engineering faculty believe they should treat all students equally [4].Engineering professors are experts in their technical fields, but these individuals have generallylacked both significant pedagogical training and a background

finding,demonstrating, or building fluid mechanical systems in everyday life. We employ two differentinstruments to track students’ experiences in this course. First, we compare students'performance in a fluid mechanics concept inventory assessment that they take at the end of eachsemester. In addition, we also adopt a set of items from the Motivated Strategies for LearningQuestionnaire (MSLQ) to measure the impacts of these changes on students' motivations andattitudes. We reflect on the implications of this transition process and provide an outline of thefuture developments of this work.1.

understand the interconnections among systemelements of technical, social, socio-technical, or multi-level nature. They show closed-loopthinking and provide several possible explanations when analyzing system failures [18, p. 275],[19], [20].3. Understand system synergy (emergent properties). Engineers derive the synergy of asystem from integrating the subsystems under their responsibility and identifying thesynergy and emergent properties of combined systems [18, p. 276].4. Understand the system from multiple perspectives. Engineers avoid adopting a one-dimensional view and describe a system from all relevant layers (technological, economic,social, mechanical, etc.) [18, p. 276], [20].5. Understand systems without getting stuck on details

The Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) listed that the requirement for an Industrial Engineeringcurriculum is to prepare graduates to design, develop, implement and improve integrated systemsthat include people, materials, information, equipment, and energy [8]. While many IndustrialEngineering curricula include courses on Ergonomics and Design, they do not necessarily coverconcepts like Usability and User-Experience.As industrial engineers are more involved in designing systems and tasks, it is beneficial forthem to learn about UE and its application to these systems and
these areas in our capstone course occurred as the result ofan Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) accreditation visit several yearsprevious, in which a need to strengthen the process safety instruction in our chemicalengineering curriculum was identified by the reviewer. Additionally, chemical process safetyand environmental compliance are important engineering topics for students to have exposure to,if they accept a job in a production, design, or consulting environment in the refinery or chemicalprocess industries. More than half of our chemical engineering students that have an offer at orsoon after graduation take positions at local and regional refinery or chemical process plants.This includes a small fraction of
