theseopportunities to students.To help better prepare students for work in the academy, self-efficacy [2] plays an important rolein determining their confidence to carry out research. This means that students must havepositive perceptions of their abilities and capabilities in order to achieve success within the REUprogram. Self-efficacy also includes recovering from challenges and perceived failure in order tolearn and improve in their capabilities and confidence. Overcoming these challenges is key tohelping students grow in their self-efficacy around research activities such as preparing andpresenting research forums and poster sessions, working with experienced faculty to conductresearch, and integrating as a member of the research community.This paper

the faculty prioritized ensuring that our students have “anability to…create a collaborative and inclusive environment” upon graduation. Our approach tointroducing DEI pedagogy was to focus on a first-year course, Grand Challenges in Engineering(GCE), and a second-year course, Engineering Mechanics: Statics (Statics). GCE is the firstfoundational design course in the program, where ABET Student Outcomes (SOs) 2-6 areintroduced. This was a natural fit for introducing DEI concepts, since they tie well with SOs 3(effective communication) and 5 (function effectively on a team). While Statics is a less obviouschoice to integrate DEI instruction, it was an opportunity to explore innovative ways toemphasize the importance of DEI in engineering in a

U.S. are finally heading the many calls to include sociotechnicalthinking–grappling with issues of power, history, and culture–throughout the undergraduateengineering curriculum. While non-purely-technical topics have historically been relegated toseparate courses, universities are now working to integrate sociotechnical content in coursespreviously considered to be purely technical. Researchers have varying motivations for thisfocus, including to better prepare students for engineering practice, which is inherentlysociotechnical [1]; to increase the sense of belonging of historically excluded students, who aremore likely to be interested in the social aspects [2]; and to create better societal outcomes [3-5].Attempts to disrupt the social
