Increasing the diversity of engineers may increase the extent towhich the engineering profession is committed to fostering positive societal impacts. Forexample, the communal and helping goals of female science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) students has been found to be stronger than male students [1, 2]. There arealso limited data showing that students from racial/ethnic groups under-represented inengineering are motivated by helping others through their work to a greater extent than Whitestudents [2, 3].

Most inclusive and equitable learning initiatives are spearheaded by departmentssuch as Diversity and Inclusion and Gender Studies with a focus on broader institutional culture[2-3]. Such efforts, however, grapple with inspiring STEM faculty [4] as STEM classroomsremain relatively neglected. Consequently, STEM students from historically underrepresentedgroups, particularly those with perceived lower social capital, may still experience inequities inthe classroom; inequities that include exclusion from high-profile team roles [5-9].Research shows that first-year, team-based design courses present a unique opportunity toaddress such inequities by providing early cooperative and collaborative learning

Since then, many proponents have researched the practice and suggested ways ofimplementing SETs to improve instruction. Student evaluations of teaching have mostly beenstandardized and accepted as a regular practice of assessing teaching effectiveness in mostcolleges, including my university. SETs have standard features that are described by Sproule [3]. 1. The SET is a survey about course content and teaching effectiveness with open-ended and close-ended questions. 2.

Engineering education researchers have sought to study facets and intersections ofracism [1-8], heteropatriarchy [4-10], capitalism [5, 6, 10], and militarism and colonization [8,11] within engineering. In many ways, engineering education researchers have shown how thesefacets are fundamental to what is currently considered engineering epistemology. Owing to thathistory, peoples marginalized along many and varied axes of interlocking systems of
