other majors, the civil engineering students reported increased psychological safety. Generally, the civil engineering students felt more comfortable in bringing up problems and tough issues, and felt more safe taking risks. These modules are general enough to be applicable to any engineering field, and they are flexible enough to be included in curricula in a variety of ways.Motivation: Teamwork is a necessity for engineering education and engineering practice. In his book, Senge argues that when teams are learning, the individual members grow more rapidly than they could have on their own (1990). Therefore, as educators, we put students in teams to enhance their learning. Chowdhury and Murzi (2020) point out that teamwork became
pre-teamwork intervention to identify, navigate, and avoid challenges that impacteffective interdisciplinary teamwork.Chowdhury and Murzi [15] conducted a literature review on teamwork in engineering educationand identify eleven attributes of effective teamwork. These attributes included shared goal &value, commitment to team success, motivation, interpersonal skills, open/effectivecommunication, constructive feedback, ideal team composition, leadership, accountability,interdependence, and adherence to team process and performance. Effective team attributes canbe employed to enhance and sustain effective teamwork in engineering, especially at thebeginning of team formation.Tamayo Avila et al.

, and practice of teamwork and intercultural communication are taught inengineering classrooms; in short, they are not. Although engineering programs work towardhelping their students develop teamwork competencies, teamwork in engineering classrooms hasbeen largely bereft of direct teaching about the communication-rooted components of teamwork(Kedrowicz & Nelson, 2007), tending instead to focus on the process and organizationalelements of teamwork and various levels of assessment, such as peer-assessment and observation(Chowdhry & Murzi, 2019). Intercultural competency in engineering classrooms suffers asimilar fate (Warnick, 2011; Ndubuisi, et al., 2020) and is often discussed in essentialist termswherein intercultural competency is
recruitment and retention for and learning outcomes of students from diverse backgrounds(Cao, Murzi, & Chowdhury, 2023; Mejia & Martin, 2023). As such, engineering educationscholars have regularly explored strategies for course development, instruction, and assessmentthat support more equitable learning experiences for all students (Walden,Trytten, & Shehab,2018). To achieve this, scholars have focused considerable attention on faculty professionaldevelopment to strengthen a commitment to DEI efforts and to equip faculty with practices andstrategies that promote equity-oriented teaching (Bunin, Scott, Landoll, Servey, & Konopasky,2023; Secules & Masta, 2020).One successful approach to sustained faculty development to advance
