Sustainability is also related to corporate social responsibility (CSR),which can be referred to as the industry equivalent for businesses that intend to prosper in thelong run1,2, and is highly reflected also in engineering education3.There is an increasing demand on education in energy engineering in a broad sense, includinge.g. environmental technology and energy

profession [16]. Rather than being primarily seen as somethingthat someone is (as is the case for most social identities), this definition sees engineering assomething that someone does [16], [17]. Thus, many studies show that undergraduateengineering students associate engineering with specific cognitive, affective, and performancevariables [16]. For example, research has found that professional identity was closely connectedto competence in technology adoption, scientific thinking, and professional knowledge, and thatstudents see engineering as a way of thinking about and using math, science, communication,and problem-solving [18], [19]. In this conception of engineering identity, competence stands outas a significant factor—it acts as a bridging

Broadening participation is a term used todescribe increasing the participation of underrepresented groups in STEM fields. This includesproviding STEM exposure, access, and opportunities for individuals from underrepresentedgroups. According to the

Historically, the field of engineering hasreflected the broader societal trends with regard to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)—oftenmirroring the exclusions and disparities prevalent in the social fabric of the times [1]. For muchof its history, engineering has been a profession dominated by a homogenous group, with limitedrepresentation of women, minorities, and other underrepresented groups [2]-[10]. Thisuniformity has, at times, inadvertently influenced the direction of research priorities, the designof systems, and the implementation of technologies, potentially overlooking the needs andperspectives of a diverse population.In recent years, however, there has been

However, doing so is challenging given that the needs of each engineeringcourse may be hard to predict without immersing in the course material and environment. Thus,there is a significant need to develop tools and methods which support this endeavor. In thispaper, we present a research-supported framework that can support engineering faculty andprogram heads to evaluate their existing courses and programs and find concrete ways tointegrate human-centered engineering design (HCED) processes and practices into these coursesand programs.BackgroundTechnical Engineering DesignThe Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) defines

As the U.S. aims to increase their STEM workforce, they arefaced with the harsh truth that, while women and ethnic minorities represent 70% of collegestudents, less than 45% are pursuing a degree in STEM [3]. Women represent nearly half of theworkforce in the U.S. however, only a quarter of these women hold STEM jobs [4]. With thesetroubling facts of the U.S. schools and workforce, studies would further suggest that, whilerecruitment efforts are being geared further towards racially and ethnically diverse men andwomen students, little is being done to ensure their retention in their STEM careers.
