With these ideas in mind, AMechanics Race was created.BackgroundTo make introductory engineering courses more engaging, the author has previously reported onthe success of using pop culture and themes in the classroom [1]. One way to make an associationis by including characters and scenarios from current television shows or popular movies intoengineering content. For instance, Selby published that she had more enthusiastic responses fromstudents when she related concepts in her Environmental Engineering class to the MarvelCinematic Universe [2].The Amazing Race is a multi-Emmy Award-winning reality series on the CBS network, havingcompleted 32 seasons as of

faculty. To address an identified gap in mentor training, the EFRI-REM Mentoring Catalyst initiativewas established to 1) provide mentor training and 2) to build an EFRI-REM mentoring communitycomposed of current and future science and engineering mentors. This initiative was developed withNSF’s perceived need in mind for specific training for EFRI mentors and mentees. The overarchingmission of the EFRI-REM Mentoring Catalyst is to catalyze a core programmatic change thatpositively impacts the mentors and the student/teacher mentees in view of the importance of facultymentoring. Sustained mentoring by graduate students and postdoctoral associates also guides thedevelopment of the initiative. The goal of this manuscript is to review

Certainly developed if you’re continually applying yourself… Kind of approaching your engineering studies with that attitude [of continually applying yourself] and then being goal-driven… You shouldn’t have dreams. You should have goals. It's just very much the sort of logic that I think the engineering world or the engineering profession would appreciate is always having these goals in mind.” –Dan Dan conveys how the engineering degree serves the purpose of demonstrating you're competent.

“educate” these workers as to the proper ways to do their work.From the perspective of Taylor, the notion of engineering is one “benevolently” doing thethinking for the worker while the worker obediently does it. Armanios then shows how thesedeleterious assumptions persist today with a Job Interests Survey. He asks the students what theyprefer in a job, and then asks them what they think blue collar workers prefer in a job. Invirtually every instance he has run the survey, while engineering students say they preferinteresting work that uses their mind, they assume, just like Taylor, that blue collar workers justcare about job security and wages. He then analyzes data from the General Social Survey [40] onjob preferences between white and blue

engineering curricula make it no less of aworthy effort. It is important to include ethics in engineering education because engineers shapethe built and digital world as we know it. Unlike many formula-driven, technical courses, ethicalthought and action require evaluating issues whose importance may change with context [4] [8].Disappointing performance on the Ethics section of the Fundamental Engineering examdemonstrates the failure of some current engineering programs to inculcate ethical thinking inthe minds of engineering students [9]. In this section, we offer a very brief overview of someimportant works and trends in the field.When engineering courses feature ethics, they typically rely on strictly philosophical orprofessional approaches to

None of the descriptions ofethical development during their extracurricular activities seemed very well scaffolded,presenting an opportunity to faculty mentors and advisors of these activities. This can range fromdirecting particular activities (e.g., bringing in a guest speaker to talk about ethical issues at aprofessional society meeting) to more informal facilitation of reflection via discussion. Helpingstudents to be focus their attention (perception) and be mindful (processing) may be particularlyhelpful in leveraging extracurricular experiences into rich opportunities for ethical development.While the alumni shared stories of extracurricular settings that they
