Had the RAA been used, the investigation might havebeen able to better deconstruct the precise beliefs that comprise students’ attitudes andperceptions. For example, rather than survey items aimed at subjective norms and attitudes – themain constructs in the TRA [52], [53] – an RAA-based questionnaire would attempt to delineatebetween the many beliefs and factors pertinent to the doctoral process, like career goals,encouragement from family, friends, and faculty, and STEM identification [54].The scarcity of inquiries in engineering education research adopting the RAA may be attributedto its relative novelty or the frequent reuse of established behavioral theories within the

Beyond professional roles, eachperson within a network will also identify as a mentor, mentee, and peer mentor depending on therelationship with another person. From a teaching perspective, the mentorship relationshipsbetween faculty members and graduate students are crucial in developing future educators andleaders [6]. This aspect of faculty mentorship is often undervalued and essential to enhancing thegraduate educational experience. The role of social networks in these relationships and howvarious factors influence the leadership trajectory of engineering educators is worth furtherexploration.Understanding how mentees and mentors are motivated to engage within this network may giveperspective to

Througha mixed-methods design, our intent is to understand if students perceive that their skills changeover the semester, and to which course elements they attribute these changes.We explore the following research questions: 1. Do participants’ critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity/problem solving change from pre- to post-semester in an engineering design capstone course? 2. Do participants’ self-ratings and reflections throughout the semester align with any quantitative changes resulting from question 1? 3. How do students perceive their growth in communication

ABET lists“an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create acollaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives” as astudent outcome in its outcomes-based assessment of engineering curricula [1]. Early careerengineers often describe effective teamwork and interpersonal skills as the most importantcompetencies in their jobs [2, 3]. The formation of teams can significantly affect how well a teamworks together, and team formation and function have been studied in engineering curriculum fordecades [4–6].

This approachwas received favorably, with one student writing in their end of course evaluation: “The mix of intro engineering material with STS and career design lessons was very helpful in developing a full grasp of engineering and the socio–technical side without having to do full STS lectures and papers. … I just want to reinforce how beneficial this will be to encourage students to stick with engineering and be

Engineeringprograms must develop twelve graduate attributes in students, and lifelong learning is amongthem. The Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board graduate attribute definition for lifelonglearning is one’s “ability to identify and to address their own educational needs in a changingworld in ways sufficient to maintain their competence and to allow them to contribute to theadvancement of knowledge” [9].

There are many examples of curriculum development forethics exposure of students from first to senior year and through various modalities to relateethics to the technical concepts of ethics (Rajan, 2017). Beyond basic discussion of ethics inclass, effective engineering ethics instruction needs to engage students, promote critical thinking,and translate theoretical concepts into real-world practice. Another consideration that needs to bemade is the spectrum between moral values and personal ethics on one end and professional andsocial ethics on the other end.
