In our educational context, we wantedto see how this set of ESJ tools could be used by undergraduate students who may be embarkingin research and careers that use and apply data sciences across various disciplines. The use ofthis toolkit is paired with student-generated proposals that students themselves practiceevaluating. As a result, students deployed this toolkit with both quantitative and qualitativeelements. This included the ability to ‘score’ or evaluate each criteria

moralimagination through service learning, “dramatic rehearsals,” and alternative job fairs. [8, p. 243].Zhu and Jesiek argue that engineering ethics needs to focus more on the pragmatic than theidealistic, especially because engineering is such a global enterprise. They argue that the maintrends in engineering ethics education “decontextualizes ethics practice from the situatedcontexts in which ethical theories are to be ‘applied,’ the sociotechnical realities of real-worldwork environments, and the broader social and political contexts of engineering practice” [9, p.667]. They emphasize the relational and communicative components of dynamic decision-making involving stakeholders that students need to understand to be successful in their careers[9]. In a

First-year studentsare academically under-trained and come in with a wide range of previous knowledge and skillthat is greatly influenced by their class background, social capital, race, gender, etc. Connectingtheir knowledge and experience to capital [16] within the classroom setting broadens inclusivityand promotes acceptance of a wide range of backgrounds within the institutional setting.Producing engineering students who are career ready and socially competent is a desired outcomefor all programs. It is crucial for programs to set the tone that learning how to engage with diversegroups via

Students showed resilience despite the challenges,but that may have come at the cost of their mental health [7].

The department recentlymade significant changes to the undergraduate curriculum with support from a grant from theNational Science Foundation’s Revolutionizing Engineering Departments (RED) program. Thevision of the this ECE RED project was to transform the program so that it would attract a morediverse group of students and prepare them for a broader range of careers than the department’sprevious program had done. In the previous program, once a student chose between the electricalengineering (EE) or computer engineering (CPE) degree, they had a fixed set of courses to takewith no choices

Universities have beenworking on the incorporation of these new paradigms into their study curriculum, seeking totrain engineers in a comprehensive manner for the current job market. The School ofEngineering from a private university in Chile, enjoying the highest enrollment numbers inengineering careers nationwide, has made innovations in its curriculum in order to incorporateDT across all of its subjects. Professionals by and large acknowledge the importance of DT,while those associated to professional training recognize as necessary its inclusion in thecurriculum. However, in recent years with the appearance of Covid19, online teaching throughLMS became necessary, and it was subsequently noted that not all

an engineer during my career. Beingcognizant of the biases and intended uses of my projects and designs is something that Idid not think I’d need to consider, but after taking this class it has made me aware ofthese especially in something as innocuous as LEGOs. I found the readings and class-wide discussions to be very helpful in reinforcing the ideas we were learning and lookingat case studies within the LEGO group allowed me to see how these concepts were usedin real-world applications, and how I can apply them myself.I found it especially interesting to learn about LEGO’s growth and development as acompany over many years. This was especially impactful because I have played with andpurchased toys my entire life and gaining deeper incite
. Although it is not a LO, I was also told that my assumptions were not clearly applicable to solving problem. I did much better this week at clearly identifying all components of the problem and making sure all of the mass balances matched my process flow diagram. My assumption also were clearly used to identify my problem solving process as a real engineer would do. You could clearly see all steps of my process and my technical presentation looked professional. All of these skills can translate to my engineering career in the real world.”In first and third statements of this text (in red), the student described their experience andstatus with topics associated with problem solving and mass balances
to change. Curry [7] makes clear that critique can in fact foreclose action, by preserving the institutions (and intellectual traditions) that reward the critical project; this project of critique, and the career-building it facilities, we think, are precisely the second- university’s manifestations of engineering education research. When I imagine that as a doubter I somehow stand outside the second university, outside of the STEM establishment in its educational and workforce expressions, I mistake the nature of my life circumstances, my day-to-day security. There are few “outsides” for the tenured academic, and in particular, wherever I, the cis-gendered, abled, white, U.S.-born tenured
have relied heavily on my black female identity to position myself in my work. I have come across some papers that include the experiences of Black students that do not identify as African American, and this has truly helped me find a space that I can relate to. I remind myself of my whole identity and have found ways to integrate who I am into class discussions. I find that consistently acknowledging my own different perspectives and sharing them in class by making relevant connections helps me to shift my training of only seeing my differences as tools for career advancement. Moving forward, I want to look towards other areas of study such as education or psychology that may highlight stories of Caribbean students in their literature
