institution where this project is being developed hasover a hundred laboratories, surpassing the number of traditional classrooms, and also has aresearch center that provides services to various sectors of society, conducting tests and researchin Engineering. The challenge is: how to utilize these Engineering laboratories in the teaching ofPhysics? When students enter an Engineering course, they are eager to practice Engineering fromthe start, and often feel unmotivated when faced with Physics that is not well contextualized withinthe course. With this need for contextualization in mind, coupled with teachers' awareness, the aimwas to find a set of experiences that would put students in contact with the Physics found inEngineering. To develop this

Although students are encouraged to consider the full lifecycleof the product, including the sourcing of its materials and its final disposition, they usually focuson the users of the product, the retailers that sell it, or the companies that manufacture it.Investors holding stocks in those companies are often mentioned as well. While valid, theseconnections represent just the surface of the many layers of interactions we would like them toexplore.With this context in mind, the research question guiding this study is as follows: How does anopen-ended scenario-based learning approach influence the breadth of discipline exploration andstakeholder identification among first-year engineering students

ofdeterminism arising from physics and evolution. Personalism assumes individuals havesignificance, are unique, and serve as ends-in-themselves [6]; that is persons do not serve asmeans to a larger social end. Personalism also recognizes that humans exist in relation to otherpersons and society rather than as isolated, rational, Cartesian minds. In regard to educatingfuture engineers, personalism posits that to become engineers, students should undergo bothprofessional and personal development. Thus, the focus of any degree program should be ondeveloping individuals in fullness.The adoption of personalism—an individual-focused philosophy—as a constraint needs someexplanation in relation to the concept of a “common good” since individual wants and

Mostprevalent in this study were Avery, Zoey, and Olivia’s desire to engage with a community ofsupport that mitigated underrepresentation in their classes and engaged like-minded individuals.It is evident that classroom environments are not suited to support women in engineering on theirown. An engineering culture that perpetuates masculine social norms forces women to grapplewith the perceived incongruence between their identities as a woman and engineer. As such,these women in engineering chose to seek out counter spaces to feel appropriately supportedwithin engineering.Additionally, GI ESOs were desirable for their

We discuss the implementation of a novel interventionfor first-year engineering students around conscious and unconscious bias in engineering design.Beyond typical discussions of bias in engineering, we take the concept a step further to the rootpsychoanalytic mechanisms, taking a deep dive into concepts around the unconscious mind, andusing these to structure our intervention activities. A qualitative study was conducted based onthe results of a group activity where students articulated their thoughts within fourpsychologically derived categories around one of two design scenarios, aiming to build a betterunderstanding of how student groups characterize their chosen engineering design
