offers a valuable framework for investigating various behaviors, it is importantto acknowledge its limitations in capturing the potential influence of power dynamics and otherconfounding elements. For example, power imbalances within a capstone engineering teamcould shape individuals’ behaviors in ways that extend beyond their personal beliefs, which maynot be fully captured by the RAA’s focus on individual beliefs and intentions. Similarly,contextual factors may influence behaviors in ways that are not adequately represented by theRAA. In the capstone engineering example, project complexity or time pressures could be suchfactors. To address these concerns, researchers could incorporate qualitative methods andcontextual factor measures, such as

Whether this is the current case or not,even conventional curriculum relies heavily on the design process, as most of the sub-disciplinesin engineering require the practicality of design skills in modeling and converting ideas intorealities. Additionally, ABET (specialized accreditation agency for programs for engineeringworldwide) has encouraged the existence of capstone project-based courses to ensure thatgraduates are prepared for real-world, practical applications of engineering principles inindustry8,9,10.    Beyond the importance of science and mathematics fundamentals, global efforts are changingengineering education by emphasizing professional skills and active learning.

. While research has indicated that working on teams with others who bringdifferent skills and specialties to the table may be crucial to engineering practice, thesemultidisciplinary opportunities are the exception, not the norm [2]. While training students tofunction on a multidisciplinary team is part of ABET criteria [3], students may not haveopportunities to develop expertise in these areas. This lacuna is easier to identify than it is toremedy, not only because such prospects compete for students’ time and attention, but alsobecause faculty may lack support to develop these skills within the course. At many universities,undergraduate students have few opportunities (aside from perhaps a capstone project in their 4thyear where they might work

In the learning context of PBL, students develop authenticquestions for problems that are situated within real-world practices [3], which leads tomeaningful learning experiences [4].Competences, such as critical thinking and communication skills promoted by PBLmethodologies, are increasingly important for engineering practice. In the labor market it isexpected that engineers not only work in technical contexts, developing solutions that meetclients’ needs, but also perform their work through effective collaboration with others [5].

He is particularly interested in examining strategies in which these employees can engage, such as disclosing or acknowledging their identities, to effectively remediate the workplace obstacles that they face. He has conducted various interrelated projects that examine how the effectiveness of expressing one’s identity is impacted by the extent to which stigmas are previously known, visible, or discovered by others over time. This is a novel area, given that disclosures have previously been conceptualized as a dichotomous, all-or-nothing phenomenon. This work has been

One of our primary learning outcomes will be for this struggle tocultivate individual empathy across disciplinary boundaries.

The academic connection refers to the learning aspect students gain throughcoursework and hands-on experiences, and is oftentimes, multidisciplinary. The reciprocalpartnership between the university and the community partner must be beneficial for both. Onechallenge of service learning versus traditional capstone projects is that a meaningful, ongoingrelationship with the community must be maintained [4].
