Most of the recent intersectional research on engineering seems to focuson the interplay of gender and race [2], [3], [4], but also the intersection of gender with thesocioeconomic situation [5], [6], sexual orientation [7], family situation [8], [9], and age [10]has been investigated.

Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics (STEM) experience lower rates of unemployment and higher salaries, aphenomenon seen across all nations. Recent technological advancements in the engineeringfield have created an environment for educators to reconsider the ways they should beeducating future engineers. Educational reform efforts have been spurred by concerns aboutcompetitiveness and the insufficient number of graduating engineers to fill vacant positions inthe job market. Several organizations have released reports that describe the need forsystemic change in the engineering education curriculum with a focus on skills that helpgraduates develop their employability skills, such as process, design and analytical skills [1][2] [3

IntroductionObservation is an essential method used during human-focused engineering design approaches.Observations allow engineering designers to collect rich data on design problem environments andstakeholder behaviors in ways that are not always possible with other methods, as well as allow for thetriangulation of data across methods [1].

Many predictivemodels have been proposed and used to varying degrees of success to make such predictions.Some of these models are at the exam level, some at course level and some at the degree level.These models require the use of data sets that typically come from multiple sources such asstudent information systems (SIS's) and pre-college information, to name a few.This study builds upon the work done by a previous paper which focused on a few ComputerScience (CS) courses taught by three instructors [1].

Employers are forced to either spend resources (i.e. time and money) to upskill newhires[1] or time searching through a wider pool of candidates to fit the position.

Since numerous studies havefound that service learning offers an array of benefits to undergraduate students [1], [2], it isequally important to consider perspectives of the partnering communities. Specifically, in somecontexts, university-community partnerships, both generally and service-learning programs inparticular, are exploitative due to the power imbalance caused by the “concentration of powerand knowledge” of universities [3].

Students who report more interaction with college facultymembers tend to show greater social integration into the college setting, and better academicperformance [1], [2], [3].

alternative approach to engineering ethics education involves framingand cultivating virtues to guide the way students learn to behave, think, and feel in order to do themorally right things, for the right reasons, and in the right ways (Pierrakos, 2019). This argumentfor character education suggests that while current engineering ethics education typically focuseson student decision-making during specific times of ethical dilemmas, character educationfocuses on the practice and acquisition of virtues that prepare students for their own ethicaldecision-making in any complex situation (Pincoffs, 1986). This approach serves several,simultaneous roles: (1) it provides a common, accessible language for students to (2) engage inethical discussions and

Consequently, it is imperative that engineers enter the professionfully prepared to make ethically sound decisions in response to the ethical dilemmas andchallenges they may confront. While every engineering discipline has a code of ethics to guidedecisions that have ethical implications [1], codes of ethics have several limitations. First, theycannot possibly capture every potential situation that may arise where ethical decision-making isnecessary. Second, they are of limited use when faced with ethical dilemmas for which there isno clear choice that does not carry some degree of ethical risk. The overarching motivation forour work is to address the need for a practical framework that can be used to teach ethicaldecision
