equip students with the tools they need to better addressthe bias and power dynamics in their work. The critical reflection and associated decision-making rubric were one way that students were prompted to articulate potential bias and erasurein systems design. Another potential tool for engineers to use is checklists. Checklists are asimple but powerful tool for designers and engineers to use in order to make systematic changeswithin larger systems. By adding in checks to the many stages of the design process, we helpengineers build habits of mind to be looking for imbalances, biases, or inequities.In addition, tools that prompt learners to go deeper–beyond the obvious stakeholders–are alsocritical. While engineers might identify stakeholders

In the interviews, students expressed a number of things as being valuable. Every studentmentioned something about the curricular integration of concepts between courses. Asmentioned in the program analysis above, this integration is facilitated by having so many of thecourses being taught ‘in-house’ by department faculty. Also mentioned by every student wereteamwork and projects. The curriculum includes project work every year, and students

The emotional challenges from the high level of stress due to the rigorous coursework inthe early engineering curriculum can be mitigated when students feel supported. Another studysuggests that helping students obtain a growth mindset can also help with their resilience to viewchallenges and setbacks as opportunities for growth are more likely to persevere [10]. In 2018, the CEE program identified that approximately 50% of the students who initiallyenrolled in the major as first semester freshman completed their degrees within CEE. The studentswho left the program switched their majors to other degree programs at the institute during
while utilizing this approach are: • Most individuals are multi-modal learners. • Learning can be facilitated by pairing the modality to the learning outcome.Studies indicate that engineering students typically fall into the category of kinesthetic learners[12], however variations in modality are observed when tasks are modified. Another factor tonote is that engineering education requires the holistic development of varied skill-sets, and amulti-disciplinary approach is essential to truly facilitate learning. Thus, the conclusion drawnhere is that being mindful of student learning styles, understanding the modality that fits bestwith the learning component, and combining these factors through pedagogical theory andevidence-based
