shortcomings, have the skills to identify, access and use resources wisely, while having a sharp sense of evaluation of the learning efforts. In the application-based projects, the students are encouraged to generate learning objectives defined by the instructor as per the course syllabus. There could be multiple features to this approach as follows:  An overview of the syllabus helps the students see the relevance of current learning to the bigger picture of the learning outcomes.  The students seek guidance throughout their participation in the application-based projects, but they end up becoming improved versions of themselves, as self-directed learners, by being the

I also acknowledge the ways in which I am subject to neoliberal ideals. Ichose to study within science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) as Ibelieved that this would make me more employable. As a student I was motivated heavily bygrades.

require students to finish "bitesize projects" (some smallprojects in class) to acquire related knowledge. The final assessment at the end of the semester isnot an exam but a semester integrated project (Integrated Project). Bitesize projects align withthe final integrated project. These projects also consider the course syllabus and practical skillsrequired for students, like problem-solving and hands-on skills.For example, the sophomore year at SDIM involves five project-based courses: Design Thinkingand Engineering, Electronic engineering and Analog Circuits, Material Engineering, RapidPrototyping, 3D Print, and Mechanical Engineering.

This seminar was recommended to be delivered synchronously. The slides should be modified for remote delivery. As discussed in the Questioning Seminar above, slides on DEI should be added. It would also be beneficial to recommend DEI related statements in the instructor’s syllabus.

sociotechnical thinking is integrated into the syllabus or course deliverables. Rubricscarefully designed to assess sociotechnical learning objectives can help address this issue; weoffer one example related to the Interview Assignment at our project website [19]. Anotherapproach is to offer credit for completion of sociotechnical elements or to do a quick assessmentof depth and thoughtfulness, for example assigning 50% credit for the content of submissionsand 50% for clarity and depth of explanations.Finally, we emphasize the importance of finding a community of like-minded researchers andteachers.

tools that allow collaboration have been a feature of every Cohort Challenge.Team meetings occurred on Zoom before Zoom became a standard meeting tool across USuniversities. Beyond email, team members used Slack channels to plan agendas, shareinformation, and ask questions. Course materials for Toolbox Modules were made availablethrough the Moodle learning management system, though such materials were often stored orhosted on various ancillary servers and sites (e.g. Google, YouTube). In addition, team memberscollaborated on shared bibliographies using Zotero and worked on basic systems modeling usingPlectica.

and community engagementactivities. During the COVID pandemic faculty may have experienced dilemmas regardingstudent health (and the health of the surrounding community) as campus administrators madedecisions about in-person versus online instruction. Universities and faculty are also increasinglyattending to student mental health. Finally, it is argued that considerations of welfare are themost challenging. Faculty perhaps think of student welfare long-term, as they help students buildknowledge and skills that may yield post-graduation benefits in terms of employment. But doesthis long-term perspective cause us to undervalue in-the-moment student welfare? Our policiesand practices may cause stress, and stress has been shown to inhibit

disciplinary contexts arestandards on academic integrity found in course syllabi. These statements about plagiarism,cheating, and intellectual property have been standardized and are practically copied and pastedinto each new syllabus. These principles are perceived as being so common sense that manyinstructors no longer attend to them when going over the syllabus with students. Such “common-sense” ethics are not unique to higher education contexts but can be found in almost anyorganization. Yet, just as students still get in trouble for plagiarism under the guise of ignorance,engineering professionals can participate in ethical missteps which might be labeled as implicit,understood, or common-sense. Therefore, it is important we do not work under the
