EM’s integration into the engineering curriculum are that itreinforces technical concepts (especially in design-related topics), helps promote greaterinclusion within the profession, and develops a mindset oriented towards problem-solving,empathy, creativity, and valuing the expertise of others. 10 The KEEN Framework’s“mindset+skillset” approach presents EM as a competency geared towards graduates creatingvalue for their organizations and communities in successful and rewarding engineering careers. 9To succinctly put it, EM is CBE.KEEN’s approach also benefits the development of computing professionals.

This repeatedly highlights the disparity of cultural diversity in manyuniversities, and subsequently, white-collar jobs.Another problem lies in the historically Eurocentric curriculum which ignores most minorities andtheir cultures [8]. This causes a mistrust between the historically Caucasian majority and peopleof color. In an act of self-determination, Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCU) were established,with most hosting two-year degrees [9]. The 39 TCUs primarily serve geographically isolatedpopulations, hours away from other mainstream postsecondary institutions.

the sensitivity and judgment of microethics andmacroethics, sensitivity to diversity, and interest in promoting organizational ethical culture—atthe end of their engineering studies than they were at the beginning. As such, many studies havefocused on developing and improving the curriculum surrounding ethics through, for instance,exposing students to ethics case studies. However, such ethics courses often present a narrow andsimplified view of ethics that students may struggle to integrate with their broader experience asengineers. Thus, there is a critical need to unpack the complexity of ethical behavior amongstengineering students in order to determine how to better foster ethical judgment and behavior.Promoting ethical behavior among

Once integrated, Canvas exportsthe student list to MOM and can be seen in the MOM gradebook. The integration can be set upso that homework deadlines are set up in Canvas and exported to MOM. One benefit of theintegration is that MOM exports the grades to the Canvas gradebook. Therefore, students andinstructors can see the grades in Canvas.
