It also helpedto sell the class as a unicorn – there are no other courses like it in the entire college that combinemathematics with engineering problem-solving in a hands-on lab based format where studentsalso learn programming/MATLAB. This messaging intends to convince students that it is not aremedial class, rather a challenging class that illustrates why math is needed in engineering andwill help give them an advantage in future courses.

is a method that was developed toaddress the limitations of laboratory experiments in the social and behavioral sciences. Findingthat very few, even well-tested laboratory studies had impact on actual teaching and learning,researchers developed DBR as a way to test theories about how learning can be supported. DBRinvolves building a theory that takes context seriously and instantiating the theory into a designfor learning [46]. Iterative testing of the design under real world conditions provides anopportunity to assess both the design and the theory [5], [6].We were guided by the following research questions:RQ 1: How do sophomores’ and seniors’ assessments of their collective team’s professionalskills differ?RQ 2: Do sophomores show
. Second,engineering researchers can narrowly isolate experimental variables and follow uniform andwidely-accepted laboratory testing standards. The results from engineering research are well-defined and replicable, and proposed models can be validated. Unlike engineering research,EER typically includes a broad range of uncontrollable confounding variables and a lack ofspecificity and guidance in the selection of appropriate theoretical frameworks and analyticalmethods [5,6].Since engineering faculty are often the initiators of EER studies, it is logical that faculty whoalready teach engineering courses and conduct engineering research may be inclined to pursueEER opportunities. Their motivation may be to either complement their ongoing

estimated value of all non-personnel financial support providedto the new hire. Following this logic, we sought to identify high-level, relatively universalcomponents to faculty startup packages that may critically influence a faculty member’srecruitment and pathway to success (e.g., salary, laboratory space/equipment as warranted byresearch field, graduate student and/or post-doctoral researcher support, and teaching load).Additionally, the University offers pre-tenure leave, as guaranteed in the faculty handbook, andoffered COVID-19 related tenure clock extensions; thus, we also wanted to assess the equity inuse of these guaranteed supports. Because the same staff and administrative personnel would haveaccess to that information, it was concluded

complexglobal challenges, the need for engineers with inclusive mindsets has become more apparent.One aspect of inclusion is the awareness of our potential for biases in the models we create of theworld -- engineering models that go on to influence the technologies we produce.This paper presents a work-in-progress case study of an intervention in a middle-years analyticalcourse with a heavy focus on mathematical modeling. The intervention is designed to makestudents aware of biases in model base learning, their own tendencies towards these kinds ofbiases, and the sorts of impacts these biases can have on real populations. An importantcomponent of the intervention is that it is embedded into the teaching of analytical content, ratherthan being an
