The reforms do bear some overlap with our study as they are ‘big ideas’rooted in a liberal arts context. Some examples of overlapping reforms include 1) creatingcommunity, 2) ethics, 3) de-centering Western civilization in the engineering classroom, and 4)problematizing science as objectivity and normalizing mistakes.
