Disabled people are often asked to do work for less compensation than their able-bodied peers (e.g. there is a lower minimum wage for workers with disabilities [61]). Compensate your participants. If you don’t have funding to pay participants, what other ways can you engage in reciprocity with them? Can you help them change some institutional structures? Can you write them letters of recommendation? There are many ways to show participants you value their time and energy. 4. Many disabled students have negative experiences talking to faculty about

-inducing activitiessuch as meeting peers and introduction to course content are completed before “day one” of thecourse.A major objective of a pre-course session is the instructor’s opportunity to frame why a course isnecessary and how the knowledge is to be acquired. This vision can be challenging to highlighteffectively in the ‘day one’ excitement and angst, or after the lesson flow of the course hasbegun. The framing focus can motivate students and help them connect the course objectives toachieving their goals. Providing a framing structure in the course will help students take that firststep, or next step, on their career path.The pre-course session may also provide scaffolding and pre-teaching content to better preparestudents for the course

Whereas the data presented shows that studentsgenerally read carefully the project description, the majority of students prefer the project clientsto make short presentations. To analyze the impact of project choice on team performance, fourcategories, based on the student project choice, were proposed. Teams whose majority did notget their first choice of project, showed the largest drop between the mid-semester peer ratingscompared to end-of-semester peer ratings.

engineering programs should provide student with "the broad education necessary tounderstand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, andsocietal context".While it is beneficial to expose students to engineering as soon as they enter the program, manyfreshman students often do not possess the necessary background to perform research on theirown and to fully analyze the technical aspects of engineering projects. Faculty support isindispensable to guarantee a successful outcome, but peer mentoring could also be an effectivestrategy to engage students.

Social benefit interest has been studied in terms of gender: women place moreimportance on altruistic values at work [34]; are more likely to explain their interest inengineering based on societal contribution [12], [35]; are more likely to specialize in “sociallyconscious” engineering disciplines [36]; and rate impact-driven work as important more oftenthan their peers [24].

Developing such a skillset requires that students master the ability to make emotionalconnections among theoretical concepts [7]. This means that engineering educators need toinvolve students at cognitive and emotional levels in authentic, meaningful, and immersivelearning experiences amidst a full curriculum.

Thisincludes time and task management, assistance with planning an academic roadmap as well asinformation on co-curricular and extra-curricular activities that could develop one’s portfolio as achemical engineer, such as research, internships, co-ops, study abroad and (chemical)engineering clubs. Finally, the curriculum does not typically provide early information on thesteps necessary to prepare for one’s career. Failure to understand the answers to such questionscan result in students dropping the major, struggling academically, failing to make a connectionwith peers and resources, and facing challenges when applying for jobs due to inadequate careerpreparation.To address this gap in the curriculum
