is that lowerincome students have significantly different perceptions regarding the risks and opportunities oftheir career pathways [14], [15]. Kapoor & Gardener-McCune [11] found that computingstudents with lower socioeconomic backgrounds found it difficult to pursue industry internshipdue to family and other circumstances. Krenz et al. [16] indicated that lower-income computingstudents had difficulty pursuing graduate school full-time due to familial and economicresponsibilities. To better support lower-income students in computing to broaden theirparticipation in computing careers, it is critical to understand these students’ viewpoints on jobfactors associated with different career pathways for their post-graduation plans.3.

the nature of work inengineering professional settings. In terms of implications, educators need to be mindful of howengineering design courses are planned and would benefit from incorporating mindfulnessepisodes within the lesson when students transition to tasks that require empathy. Thesemindfulness sessions may vary in length and research has shown that short sessions ofmindfulness lead to positive impact and improved self-awareness (Nolte et al., 2022).Making empathy visible in engineeringAlso in the review, scholars have highlighted that discrepancies in the ways we conceptualizeempathy impacts educators’ sense of its utility in their courses. These discrepancies may stemfrom how we understand the purpose of engineering work and the
institution. In an odd coincidence, the deathof a non-student then took place at the U.S. East campus a couple of weeks later. The survey was launchedat U.S. East on October 24, which the team believes affected response rates at the sites as well (~5%). Thelaunch of the survey at U.S. Midwest was re-scheduled to the beginning of the Spring 2023 semester, andwas launched on January 23, 2023 with more satisfactory response rates (>10%). For Year 2 of our datacollection, we plan to maintain the different timing for data collection between institutions, but we willensure that for both data collection periods (Fall 2023 for U.S. East, and Spring 2024 for U.S. Midwest) weoffer the survey as early in the semester as possible to maximize response rates

It is asimplified version of the institution classification scheme used by Slocum and Scholl [1].Additional quantification by location and institutional specialization was performed.4.3 Curricular InvestigationsUtilizing publicly available course plans and course catalogs at the previously identifiedinstitutions, the degree to which a student in a CivE program could specialize in EnvE topics wasanalyzed. Additionally, a curricular comparison between accredited EnvE PUIs was compiled.5.

When planning interactive classroom activities, the datacollection techniques function as a menu for choosing the way to operationalize the analyticalapproaches in the classroom or for prepwork.D.

We describe four of them here briefly, asthey come up frequently in the way students talk about the first-year of the STS program.The Stakeholder Interview Project - In the year-long

responding withinthe semi-structured research interview was demanding for the novice interviewer. As a reflectivepractice, we compared the intended goals of the planned interview questions prescribed in theprotocol versus the content of the actual questions asked during the interview, finding that for themost part, the interviewer’s questions did align. However, in examining the underlying function,the IQRT illuminated a few instances where the interviewer introduced, sometimesunexpectedly, questions that detracted from the participant’s flow of thinking. For example, indiscussing the tenure expectations, the participant mentioned teaching, service, and raisingmoney—a ‘pillar’ of tenure that he repeatedly framed as ‘leverage’ for ‘threatening to
al. [37] positedthat teacher beliefs influence teachers’ willingness to adopt new pedagogies and teachingstrategies (e.g., active learning, team-based learning, and discussions). Yasar and colleagues [37]argue that understanding teachers’ views about engineering and engineering practices isnecessary to integrate technology and design into pre-college education effectively. Engineeringdesign challenges are student-centered and require students to actively utilize an iterative processto prepare, plan, and evaluate their solutions at each stage of their design. However, howengineering is implemented in the classroom depends on teachers’ views of how students learn[31]. Hence, for students to understand and engage in the EDP effectively
programs were required to demonstrate they met. The key difference with the prior detailedaccreditation process was to increase flexibility – programs had considerable latitude in defining how theymet the eight criteria and how they planned to improve upon their self-imposed metrics. Subsequentevaluation in the years immediately following the roll-out of EC-2000 indicated that changingaccreditation processes had in fact enacted changes in how degree programs operated and what they did,even down to the level of the classroom [2], [11].Broadly speaking, engineering programs are evaluated on eight separate criteria. Some criteria are relatedto the effectiveness of processes, some to having access to sufficient resources, and others to defining

This was mainly evident in the Mars Project, but was also great to work with in the assignments leading up to that which refined those skills even more.” “The most fun I had during the semester in FSE 100 was my experience with the 3D printer and laser cutter! While I was never able to use the laser cutter, learning how to use the Inkscape software was really fun and informative, and I already plan on using what I learned in the near future when I cut the fins for my project rocket for my club! This was also the first time I was able to use a 3D printer, and I still have the object I made for the assignment as I loved it so much

Also, there were no requirements in the activities to create mathematical solutionsthat could be modified for other engineering situations.Effective Prototype A requirement in the Mmm Cupcakes: What's Their Life Cycle Impact activity was thatthe mathematical model could be used with different sets of data for the problem. The purpose ofthe mathematical model was to design an optimal life-cycle plan with the least amount ofenvironmental impact. There was no requirement in the activity that the mathematical model beused in a similar engineering context. For this reason, the activity partially met

hearing all voices prior to decision-making takes time. Dr. Cox was leading this project with several of the “antidotes” to urgency described by Okun, including a commitment to equity and a work plan based on the experience of the people involved [33]. This Dialogue with Dr. Cox completely reshaped my idea of what true collaboration means and forced me to reflect on how often “urgency” got in the way of inclusive collaboration in my past work. I have grown to recognize my impatience when decision-making is taking a “long time” and to challenge the root of that impatience.Embracing differences through Dialogue can help develop accomplice behavior [11].

followed the same detailed grading rubric, grading styles (e.g., being more liberal withpartial credit) could potentially have affected the results. Further, while comparing metrics fromthe TRAD with the AL and AL+BT groups, it is not clear if the actual Bloom’s Taxonomyquestions or the method of delivery of the questions (i.e., active learning) influenced studentperformance. In the following semester, the authors plan to deliver the targeted Bloom’sTaxonomy questions without active learning by eliminating the collaborative in-class activities,describing answers to the higher-order questions as part of the lecture, and having the‘understand’, ‘analyze’, and ‘evaluate’ questions as part of the homework and quizzes.

Future work needs to continue to investigate the challenges and benefits tosuch integration from the perspectives of the students and the instructors, which we plan topursue through future empirical work. The papers that we focused on in this review containthorough descriptions of the development and implementation of curriculum that integrate socialand technical aspects of engineering through a social justice lens, which is an essential first stepin working towards this goal. For example, Mejia et al. [23] describe in detail the developmentand implementation of two courses, and Hendricks and Flores’ [34] described in detail thecurricular materials that they used.
