(Riley and Lambrinidou, 2015) in engineering ethics literature, it is still not surprising tosee persistent reliance on presupposed “correct” responses for a given case; an overemphasis onheroic actions and unusual mistakes without contextual considerations; and the overlooking ofthe importance of society and peer culture in the teaching of ethics. In this paper, we argue thataddressing imaginal capacity as a core component in ethics curriculum helps educators movebeyond isolated and product-oriented pictures of engineering ethics instruction and we illustrateways to bridge complexities embedded in how we think and how we relate to one another insociety.Stimulating moral imagination has been recognized as one of the major goals of
through Transdisciplinary CourseworkAbstractIn the face of today's complex challenges, it is clear that the convergence of academic disciplinesin the support of creating innovative solutions is more important than ever. To enable thisconvergence, universities can adopt transdisciplinary learning experiences that promote theintegration of different academic fields. One common method for integration is the application ofdesign thinking methods and the development of cross-cutting innovation-focused skills. TheMission, Meaning, Making (M3) model is an example of a transdisciplinary educational modelthat aims to transform traditional undergraduate learning experiences by combining the strengthsof different academic units.

In addition to framing student underperformance as an individual or familial problem, deficit perspectives obscure how educators and systemic oppression undermine the success of minoritized student populations. (p. 6)In response, anti-deficit teaching practices center on the effective use of transformativeeducational pedagogies that aim to create equitable learner spaces that integrate the voices ofthose traditionally marginalized [2]. For example, Graham et al.

The authors adopted thislearning taxonomy to form the foundation of the work presented in this paper: ● Foundational knowledge – includes the building blocks of the disciplines being studied. In the framework presented, this is addressed by using assignments that allow students to demonstrate a basic understanding of societal rights in terms of what is available in the built environment, to identify inequities in infrastructure, and how they are propagated. ● Application – students use the foundational knowledge acquired in the initial lessons of a course, or over the curriculum, to start designing solutions to address existing problems in infrastructure.

Byexploring local environmental justice issues and emphasizing the necessity of integrating theseissues into the curriculum, we can prepare the next generation of engineers to address real-worldchallenges and engage in equitable problem-solving. Given the profound implications ofengineering solutions on both environmental sustainability and societal well-being, EJE stands asa pivotal bridge between educators and students, fostering meaningful connections by exploringlocal environmental justice issues. Many educators struggle to effectively incorporate environmental justice topics intoengineering education [1], [2].

This study lays the foundation for a long-termlongitudinal study to understand further the impact of peer mentorship and socio-technicalprojects from freshman to senior years. The paper will present the benefits and challengesassociated with engaging seniors and first-year students while solving an authentic designchallenge through surveys and focus groups. These results will help develop the framework tobuild vertical integration within the curriculum for effectively teaching engineering design.IntroductionBackground Peer mentorship is a learning model that allows students to learn from one another in acollaborative and supportive environment [1].

In addition, there remains a lack of resources available to individualspossessing some existing STEM competencies to retool their skills to meet the current demandfor mechatronics specialists. Moreover, to better prepare future specialists in mechatronics,learners need hands-on experiential opportunities to understand the future outlook ofmechatronics and enhance retention in the field. Thus, there remains an urgent need for therelevant curriculum, software, and hardware developments and implementation at variouseducational levels to achieve these goals.Specific project objectives

Even though, all three of these concepts involve modeling, they may not be explicitlydiscussed or demonstrated. Because mathematical modeling is essential to solving and designingengineering problems in the workforce, it is necessary to teach it more explicitly [4].
