) explicitly state the need for ethical and sociallyconscious work. For example, the ASCE BOK states that “civil engineers must be able toaddress the sustainability of a project during planning and to help stakeholders understand theenvironmental, economic, and social impacts” [4, p. 40]. Further, engineers must be able toanalyze situations with conflicting professional and ethical issues in order to determine anappropriate next step [5]. Building these skills in the classroom is critical, and professors mayhave the opportunity to mentor students through the complex problems that engineers solve inpractice. A recent survey of 5,025 college students found that 55% believe professors are at leastpartially responsible for being a mentor of them while 39

Students must engage with the project from a perspective of blendedboundaries that meaningfully engages with both the facts and values of a project – values whichmust be considered from the perspectives of all peoples. This view is not one traditionally heldby engineering systems, which often embrace traditional power roles, making determinations onwho is worthy of being served [11, 15].To evaluate these concepts properly, previous research has determined a significant gapadequately

different profiles can influences the load capacity of astructure without necessarily changing its weight. These profiles are clamped on one side andloaded by a point load at the free end for the static experiments. Due to the different bendingstiffnesses, different deflections are achieved with the different profiles, even though theyweigh the same. To convince the participating audience, these beams should be easilyremovable for weight comparison.Another topic of the planned workshops is the deliberate shift of the natural frequencies of astructure through a suitable selection of the profiles to avoid undesirable resonances whilemaintaining the weight of the structure. This is demonstrated by carrying out modal analyseswith the same cantilever

This was deemed necessary to adequately plan for the space usage in the newdesign. This information was gathered by the student researchers by conducting a detailedinventory of the existing FIT Closet facility. Once the inventory was completed, the studentsrequested to gather additional information from current volunteers and shoppers. To this point,the information gathered was focused on how the current facility operated. The students wantedto learn from those individuals who regularly use the FIT Closet how it could function better.Volunteers and shoppers were asked to provide feedback regarding their experiences

Among these, 95% emphasized designpractices such as problem framing, ideation, and prototyping [7]. These practices are commonlydeveloped through the design, building, and testing of physical models with instructionstructured around the engineering design process (EDP) [8].

It embraces uncertainty and explores multiple plausiblefutures to spark imagination and address complex challenges [13, 14]. As James Dator famouslystated, “The future cannot be predicted because the future does not exist” [15].In engineering education, the use of futures literacy has primarily focused on planning and riskmanagement. While these approaches are valuable, they tend to constrain the broader,exploratory potential of futures thinking.
