applicability of Tuckman’s model in student engineering multiculturalteams, several lessons are valuable for instructors to consider. Firstly, it is significant to providea welcoming and supportive learning space to allow student to learn in and with teams.Secondly, instructors could cultivate a positive environment, and growth-oriented and equity-minded protocols to acknowledge the possibility of team conflicts and prepare to suggest conflictresolution strategies. Similarly, instructors also want to encourage students to trust theirteammates and allow them to improve. Lastly, instructors could guide students to reflect on theirteamwork experiences to identify the areas to enhance and work on them. References

The importance of CT is reflected in the growing interest in exploringits potential role in various fields, including engineering. While CT in engineering education hasbeen discussed in previous research, there needs to be more understanding of how CT may differin the context of different engineering disciplines. Rich qualitative research on how studentsengage in CT and engineering can show how they can support each other [5].

This issomewhat surprising considering the desire of many programs and universities to reduce thenumber of credits required for an engineering degree in an effort to increase graduation rates,reduce time-to-graduation, and decrease student debt loads.

Theclassroom can be broken into small teams of 3 -5 students to encourage these skills and situ-ate the game in a more comfortable structure.

Major ones are described below.The survey was designed with the engineering field, particularly that of industry, in mind asstudies show that 75% of engineers work in industry or government in 2018 [21]. However, non-engineers, those who have been disengaged from the engineering field for some time, or thosewho work distantly with engineers, may have taken the survey and found the questions to bemisleading or confusing.

within whichdecisions are made. In this paper, we share resources and teaching approaches we havedeveloped and used to help equip engineering students with this much-lacking knowledge.Introducing science-policy in traditional engineering curricula is a challenging task because onefirst needs to convince engineering faculty that policy-literacy is an integral part of engineeringeducation. Then, introducing science-policy in engineering is a complex task for both studentsand instructors. To date, we have chosen materials and teaching approaches assuming lack ofpolicy awareness among senior undergraduate and graduate engineering students. Despiteteaching with that lack of policy awareness in mind, we have witnessed student struggles withadapting to
