in US society [11]. Engineers work across industries and are at times the interface betweenmanagement and the production and operation of the organization. The development ofengineering as a profession and the focus of engineering education has been intertwined withcurrent national and international needs hence preparing and educating engineers to meet theneeds of the future is often a common theme in engineering program development, accreditationand reform [5][12], [13], [14]. Approaches to engineering education are variable across nationalborders and reflective of the national culture [13]. In the 1950’s engineering education in the USevolved into programs heavy with math and sciences [13] and most engineering programs haveretained this
required additional prompting through clarification question(s)(Question 4). While four students did present an HLC-indicating evaluation that included costand efficiency (80%), three of the students also mis-evaluated and/or mis-applied concepts (60%IU), displaying mixed outcomes. Several answers alluded to concepts related to the build projectbut less relevant to the broader context of large-scale water treatment operations (i.e. “overflow,running out of chemicals, or not adding in things at the correct time”). This disconnectedresponse may be indicative of students thinking that all project concepts correlate with real life, apotential issue of PBL. It is unclear if these answers show an incorrect or merely an incompleteunderstanding of full

research grant (e.g., NSF),s/he must comply with already structured research as stated in the grant proposal which rarelyincludes RT as defined and outlined above (NSF’s Broader Impact criterion is not RT). In spiteof these institutional, structural, and procedural constraints, the student co-authors in this paperdeveloped a commitment to RT mainly due to the spaces that their HES graduate programopened to do so and the guidance of faculty committed to RT. Hence, as expected, their RTefforts had to be implemented somewhat haphazardly, often circumventing established academicpractices but without placing themselves in trouble. Other students, while deeply committed toRT, found themselves prioritizing traditional academic writing, valued by academic

Course 1 also emphasized effective technical communication of processes andsolutions. In this course, students’ course grades depended on eight components:attendance/participation, homework (including reflection), pre-class quizzes, project milestones,project poster, project report, performance as team member, and a class survey. The writtenreflection comprised 2.2% of the course grade in Spring 2023 and 3% in Spring 2024. In Spring2023, the research team assessed students’ reflections. In Spring 2024, the instructor, supportedby two undergraduate teaching assistants, assessed students’ reflections.Course 2’s
