. IntroductionInstructional methods in engineering education have evolved over time with the intention ofconforming to academic and professional standards. Such pedagogical strategies have beendeveloped and implemented to enhance comprehension, student engagement, and scholarshipabilities [15]. The most prevalent and utilized of these methods include Problem-based learning(PBL), Project-based learning, and visual cuing. PBL’s primary objective involves developingself-directed capabilities and critical thinking skills through problem-solving, interpersonal skills,and team skills [17]. Project-based learning, on the other hand, enriches student comprehension bygiving a closer perception towards professional development by incorporating project-basedinstruction [27

Yirah is a different fear thatcomes forward when connected to a calling or life’s dream. This inspired space brings outfeelings of expansiveness, exhilaration, or awe. In the session there was time to journal aboutexperiences with both fears. Then if there were willing participants, they shared experiences ofyirah with the group.The second part of the

Due to no access to laboratories, we used the FANUC’s “Roboguide” simulationsoftware. Once again, the student licenses were expensive and due to budget cuts, we had tominimize the number of LABS to be performed. The major challenge was for the final project forthe courses.

ofengineering faculty may be newly motivated to integrate SJ issues into their teaching. This paperprovides ideas for individuals newer to considering SJ integration into their teaching.Most engineering ethics textbooks fail to address SJ issues in a substantive way. In Unger’s 2017book [14] the terms social justice, racism, and poverty are not found. A passing nod is given tothese issues in a short description of the Panama Canal project, i.e. “there is much to criticizeabout the way that the workers, particularly the black Caribbean laborers, were treated.” (p. x).McGinn’s 2018 The Ethical Engineer [15] does not explicitly use the term social justice but doesdiscuss Rawl’s Theory of Justice: “for the unequal distribution of a benefit or a burden

This camp was meant to be a good introduction to engineering and a tool forrecruiting students to the engineering programs. Activities such as MAT-ME can helpstudents to expand their understanding of math to its applications. Such a program hasbeen introduced in other states such as a program at Georgia Institute of Technology andthe Infinity Project sponsored by different US universities and high schools.

For students, three initial themes emerged based on the source of learning: learning from project experiences, learning from industry practitioners, and learning from coursework.
