explosion, ABET was advised to adapttheir accreditation requirements to incorporate process safety [13], [20]. This adaptation isevident in ABET’s student outcome that states that a student will demonstrate “an ability torecognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informedjudgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic,environmental, and societal contexts” [6]. Ever since, process safety in undergraduate curriculahas been a key component in training today’s engineers for their future careers [7]. However, forstudents who have only seen process safety situations through coursework, it may be challengingto pivot to more complex situations in a professional setting
-12students have less exposure to electrical engineering (EE) than to many other STEM subjects.Within EE, the focus is often on introducing students to robotics or electronics, such as electricalcircuits, microprocessor programming and system integration (e.g., [1] - [3]). However, EE spansa much broader spectrum. The topics of communications and networking are often not presentedto high school students at all, and students are unaware of the fascinating challenges connectedwith careers in this direction.The current pandemic, entailing remote education, offers a unique opportunity to teachcommunications and networking. Remote delivery platforms such as Zoom can be leveraged toillustrate communications and networking concepts in new interactive ways

Many pedagogical tools thataim to establish connections between the engineering curriculum and industry practices havebeen investigated and implemented with varying degrees of success, such as project basedlearning (PBL) [2,3] competency based learning (CBL) [4], and inductive teaching [1]. However,adjustments to the curriculum to support these alternate pedagogical tools may still overlook theformat of the corresponding assessment items.

Students with disabilities are often ignored in STEM+CS education research (e.g.,Villanueva et al., 2012), and science contexts are

The remainder of theanalyses focused on gender.Similar rates of persistence existed for women and men, even though when they began theprogram there were statistically significant difference between mean scale scores for freshmenwomen and men on some measures of self-efficacy. For the Self-Efficacy Scale II, t(66) = 2.63,p = .011; Career Success Scale, t(66) = 3.03, p = .004, and Math Scale t(66) = 2.49, p = .015,men averaged higher scores than women (see Table 2 for averages). Although men scored higherthan women on the Self-Efficacy I Scale and Coping Self-Efficacy Scale, these results were notsignificantly different. Women and men scored similarly on the Inclusion Scale.

This simple scenario intrigued the following two-prong issues for engineeringeducators: 1) what should be the underpinnings/justification of the decision-making process of anengineer? 2) when and in what context should an engineer learn these decision-makingprocesses? Engineers should anchor their decisions on ethical/moral basis, and learn and practicethese ethical-decision-making skills in their early professional development phase.Undergraduate education is one of the first formal places in the professional development of anengineer. Engineering students would be able to far-transfer ethical decision-making skills intheir industry career if they learn and practice in context. Capstone design

TAs fulfill the role ofsecondary instructor, supporting a course via laboratories, recitations, grading, and otherteaching activities. Whether faculty or TA, primary or secondary, instructors employ a range ofinstructional approaches to engage student learning and interact with students to develop rapport,answer questions, and further scaffold instruction. Although there remains some confusion inthe literature regarding terms, faculty support generally refers to teaching technique (bothteacher-centered and student-centered) while faculty interactions refer to more informalexchanges with students which include both curriculum and course-based interactions as well asconversations about career and other intellectual matters.
