Out of concern for student safety, lab practices arereviewed. For accredited institutions, policies about safety in laboratories are documented inself-study reports to the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the AccreditationBoard of Engineering and Technology (ABET) [1]. Therefore, all institutions have documentedsafety policies, but those may not be publicly available.Students should be trained in how to safely conduct experiments.

By restricting who can participate in engineering research or hindering feelings ofbelonging among a diverse body of researchers, we simultaneously exclude novel,transformative ways of knowing that a diverse body of researchers brings to the field throughtheir experiences and worldviews [27]. Even in our current climate where knowledge of racialand gendered discrimination is more widespread, we still see issues that could potentially beremedied by developing and maintaining a diverse body of researchers, and questioning whetherour technological advancements perpetuate inequity [43], [44].Engineering Research ParadigmsWhen needed and appropriate, engineering research work often
the lessons learned from teaching in higher education.IntroductionThe academic field of building design becomes confounding when the variety of students,teachers, courses, programs, and intuitional types intermingle. We have a blend of engineeringand architecture students, engineering and architecture courses, accrediting boards, and publicand private institutions of higher education. At the simplest level, engineering students enroll inengineering courses and architecture students enroll in architecture courses in a public land-grant institution. More complex teaching and learning scenarios occur when the engineeringmajors take architecture courses in the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) accredited degree programs and
