Survey Development: The survey was built on Google Surveys, using the question bank created. The format of the questions was tailored according to the level of specificity that was needed. The survey was reviewed and approved by our institution’s human research ethics committee. 4. Validation: The final survey was reviewed internally and then tested with a sample audience of 3 students. Feedback collected from the test audience was reviewed, analysed, and used to revise the survey. 5. Rollout: The survey was initially taken by a third-year chemical engineering class and

numbers have stayedrelatively stagnant. Research on engineering culture suggests that we must look inside theengineering classroom in order to understand why engineering in the U.S. remains largely whiteand largely male [2], [3]. In order to successfully increase diversity in engineering in asustainable and ethical way, we must not only examine but work to change the culture ofengineering. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated challenges around diversityand inclusion in engineering, but also provided an opportunity to either challenge or uphold thedimensions of engineering culture as courses and programs underwent rapid change. Manystudents face more barriers than before as they juggle COVID-induced challenges with theireducation, while

In someways this echoes the language of the Mann report but acknowledges that as Technology hasincreasingly become integrated into all infrastructures that a systemic, rather than industry-focused, perspective is necessary. The systemic focus is noteworthy since systems need to beunderstood either through functional decomposition—the basis of outcome development—orholistically as they become more complex.As has been pointed out by others [12] engineering education adapts to the times; it must bydefinition do so since the role of engineers has

What is lessexpected is the significant importance of innovation interests and innovation self-efficacy for engineering studentsinterested in creating societal impact. Deeper exploration reveals that certain academic experiences and proximalinfluences have a direct and significant effect on a student’s interest in impact-driven work, and this relationship isstrengthened by the partial mediation of innovation self-efficacy. As such, this study suggests that the developmentof innovation self-efficacy is important in cultivating engineering students who are interested in impact
