leaders expressed strong concerns about encouraging their students to applyfor the BOAST program without knowing ahead of time what participation would mean forstudents in terms of time and effort commitment; therefore, randomization of schools withapplicants was decided to be ethically questionable. As a result, analysis to create like-school-pairs was performed to approximate random assignment to reduce the potential for unobservedvariable bias. Of particular concern were differences between treatment and control groups instudent interest in STEM; thus, the opportunity was similarly advertised at schools in bothconditions as a set of STEM-focused activities occurring outside regular school hours. It isunknown the extent to which student
private and business positions require a range of skillsand knowledge including leadership, communication, and teamwork [9] as well as an in-depthunderstanding of business, social, and ethical contexts [10]. The PAtENT model responds tothese challenges through a curriculum focused on building these skills and providing suchconnections throughout the academic experience of the doctoral student and not as an add on to atraditional program.

perpetuate negative and unhealthy stereotypes. For example, commonsubject matter of graduate school memes include skipping sleep to perform school work, self-deprecating humor that features negative self-talk [27], and glorification of “grind culture,”which prioritizes productivity and performative work ethic at the expense of social-life, mentaland physical health, and other personal needs [30]. To this end, graduate school memes mayreproduce a culture where students believe they should be overworked and shouldn’t sleepenough to fulfill this mythic work ethic, regardless of direct external pressures to do so.Self-efficacySelf-efficacy is defined as a “[person’s] beliefs about their capabilities to exercise control overtheir own level of functioning
the goal of offering evidence-basedpractices for countering marginalization in engineering communication practice and research. 2. Literature review and identified gapAs a profession, engineering is dominated by teamwork. In academic contexts, engineering educatorsattempt to provide meaningful teamwork experiences for students to prepare them for the profession. Theemphasis on teamwork as a learning outcome has recently increased (ABET, 2012; Patil & Codner,2007), with team projects spanning the entire engineering curriculum from first-year courses to capstonecourses (Froyd, 2005). As a learning outcome, teaming is linked to a wide range of professional skills,including communication, ethics and lifelong learning (Borrego et al., 2013
justice are connected: • General engineering and social justice o Free Radicals “Science Under the Scope” [21] o Donna Riley’s Engineering and Social Justice book [22] o Caroline Baillie’s “Engineering and Social Justice” chapter [23] o ASEE workshop on the “Foundations of Social Justice for Engineers” [24] • Specific case studies in fields o Case study bioengineering ethics “SUMO-1” [25] o Coded Bias documentary [26] o Nicholas Sakellariou’s “A Framework for Social Justice in Renewable Energy Engineering” chapter [27]This area is emerging. There are several scholars documenting their attempts at adding socialjustice to the engineering courses [28]–[31], though
less common [3], and researchers may be reluctant, with a preference to sharedata only when requested [4], [5] or only with peers [6].How well prepared are engineering faculty to deposit data in a repository to fulfill funding orpublication requirements? In 2021, Canada’s federal granting Tri-Agency Council released itsdraft Research Data Management Policy, mandating that by Spring 2023 some fundedresearchers will be expected to complete data management plans (DMP) [7]. All fundedresearchers will be required to deposit their data into a repository with the expectation thatresearchers “provide appropriate access to the data where ethical, cultural, legal and commercialrequirements allow, and in accordance with the FAIR principles and the
student learning outcomes 2, 3, 4, and 5 [1]. These student outcomes focus on engineeringdesign solutions with consideration of global, cultural, environmental and social factors;communicating effectively; recognizing ethical and professional responsibilities; and the abilityto function effectively on a team.Endorsed by the National Academy of Engineering, the Grand Challenges Scholars Program(GCSP) [2], includes five competencies that engineers need to be able to tackle the wickedproblems facing our society including the 14 Grand Challenges of Engineering (NAE) and the 17UN Sustainable Development Goals. These five GCSP competencies are: Talent Competency,Multidisciplinary Competency, Viable Business/Entrepreneurship Competency
DimensionsOur third theme focuses on students who connect mechanics topics to the impacts engineeringwork has on the people and world around them. We defined Sociotechnical Dimensions asinstances where students recognize engineers’ responsibilities beyond technical competence,such as keeping people safe, promoting social justice, or positively impacting society.SafetyOur first code within this theme is Safety, which describes students who connect mechanicsconcepts to the professional and ethical responsibilities of keeping people safe through goodpractice of engineering. These excerpts highlight how mechanics can provide the foundation formeaningful engineering calculations, like finding the allowable stresses in bridges, factors ofsafety in buildings
citationpractices belie a more complex system of relationships. Historically, they have established powerrelationships among authors, ideas, and larger sociotechnical systems within the university[26].Our citations reflect our reading practices while establishing field boundaries and contours andultimately funneling into the larger economy of the university. They undergird this universityeconomy in a number of ways: (a) we form communities of practice/discourse communities inhow we cite, excluding and including particular ways of knowing; (b) we give particular ideaspower and visibility in how we cite; (c) we decide whose work matters, who should be tenuredand promoted, who belongs; and (d) we teach ethics and intellectual property through citations.These
more design alternatives to better solve the problem. It isagreed that such attribute can only be developed by exposing students to the experience of open-ended problem solving which includes linking engineering science knowledge to complex, real-life design problems. Apart from the engineering and technical issues, these problem solvingactivities should include extra- and trans-disciplinary and soft factors, such as economic,environmental, sustainability, manufacturability ethical, health and safety, social and politicalconsiderations. It is well-accepted that such problem-based learning type is only achieved byusing quite complex project scenarios, and therefore requires careful planning and integrationinto the rest of the curriculum in
between 1 and 2. Fourth, the participants valued theelements of working in tandem including enhancing mindsets about believing and thinking, developingskillsets about learning and applying knowledge. By mindsets, the key ingredients identified includecreative inquiry-led approach, design thinking, systems thinking, global citizenship, and ethical decisionmaking.There was unanimous agreement that more engagement can only be achieved by bringing social innovationinto the classroom through projects that ask students to work on real problems. This is consistent withBloom’s Taxonomy [12]. Some of the emerging constructs or prescriptions include what is now termed,“Fruits of Innovation,” i.e., what are the students tasked with creating – knowledge

labor again tomorrow, they get even richer and even richer. So it's in their interest to make sure you think your work is de-political.”Maria similarly described a separation of engineers from the moral and ethical consequences oftheir work and how that separation benefits corporate interests: “… [to] face [engineers] with the thought that, you know, what they're doing actually has consequences when you consider them, they're gonna say ‘that's not my job. I'm just the engineer, that's management, that's business, that's something else.’ Because really, they're there to do this very specific thing. And the fact is, um, if you were to try to get them involved in all these other things, it's going to take

ethical decision-making and leadership, and can reinforce classroom learning [18], [19]but over-involvement (i.e., spending too much time on a co-curricular) can create academicpressures that lead to unethical behavior [18]. More generally, the types of co-curricular andextracurricular engagement selected by students and their level of engagement therein has beenfound to differ by gender and ethnicity and is not necessarily guided by the benefits found in theliterature [20]. There are numerous factors that impact the benefits of co-curriculars that can varygreatly from one institution to another and require intentional support structures to maximizebenefits [21]. This might explain why benefits for one group at one institution are not
