Accreditation Board for Engineering Technology (ABET) in1980, two organizations that have significant influence in engineering education today [6].As engineering education has become more intertwined with policy and accreditation over thelast century, there have been five major shifts in engineering education [9]. These include shiftstowards engineering science as well as outcome-based education and accreditation that havealready occurred. Shifts towards engineering design emphasis, applying educational research toengineering education, and integration of modern information and communication technologiesare happening presently [9]. Some of these shifts are intentional, such as the mass adoption ofABET accreditation, but some are more organic such as

Crucially, most DT practitioners today have adapted: ethnographic methods tounderstand stakeholder needs and anticipate unintended consequences of technologies;discoveries in the brain sciences to enhance creativity and team effectiveness; and techniquesfrom across design disciplines to navigate ambiguity and complexity. Several other OERs existthat introduce design thinking, e.g. [2] and [3]. The published lessons introduced in this projectand paper

This aligns with responsible AI utilization. In robotics, which combinesprogramming, mathematics, and engineering, students likely realize that true mastery requiresmore than mindless AI reliance. Their calls for partial restrictions and a hybrid approach with AIand non-AI methods advocate for blended learning.

, environmental, and economic factors. [4]Why is it challenging to integrate diversity, justice and belonging into the engineeringcurriculum? There are various forms of curriculum changes, such as content modifications,pedagogical adjustments, assessment methods, technology integration, and the incorporation ofnew principles. Regardless of the type, changes are always challenging, with resistance to changebeing the primary reason. Resistance does not typically come from individual desire and valuefor improvement but from time constraints, workload pressures, and concerns about losingautonomy [5]. What makes diversifying mechanical engineering beyond traditional content evenmore challenging is the lack of publicly available resources [6]. Therefore, there
