that helped them form their academicmajor decision. Many of those students spoke about experiences in high school, a handful spokeabout middle school experiences, and one student even claimed to have made up his mind on thecivil engineering major as early as elementary school. The student with the elementary schooldecision stated: “My initial exposure to civil engineering, and likely my main motivation for choosing it began in elementary school. My mother (who works for the NCDOT) would come to my school’s career days and set up her North Carolina Department of Transportation booth, where she would bring asphalt and concrete samples and talk about what she did. I used to be proud to have her there, and I looked up

Interviewer: So right now if I tell you design a glider, but with the wing of the glider, let it have a drag coefficient of 0.001. What's the first thing that comes to mind? Charles Xavier: I don't know how. If I'm designing a glider and I need that drag coefficient, I'd trial and error, probably look for airfoils online, try to get the shape of it down, then cut it and see if what happens, I guess that would be a starting point.Charles Xavier's response

Is so, what and how? ● Does the source suggest things that may need to be revised or clarified in the BOK? Is so, what, why, and how? ● Does the source suggest things that are missing and should be considered for addition? If so, what, why, and how

Authors in [21] and [22] pointed out how womenare usually better equipped for inviting collaboration, participation, and engagement. Alsoimportant is to be mindful of followers’ needs and motivation, so they achieve higher levels ofself-realization, which women tend to address better than men.Implications for Practice The following implications for practice include recommendations that institutional agentscould incorporate to improve engineering students’ education and achieve a more holisticeducational approach. Based on the findings of this study and the literature reviewed, theseimplications can leverage

globally, across manydimensions – socioeconomics, vulnerability to the impacts of climate change, gender, sexualorientation, and disability status. While greater diversity in our profession is another area wherechange is needed, until that change is realized, empathy will aid us in appreciating the challengesand burdens faced by those with different lived experiences from our own and prioritize theseneeds in our work. To evaluate and integrate socio-technical and enviro-technical considerationsin our engineering work, we need to resist the temptation to design for ourselves and trulyembrace our responsibility for upholding the public welfare by designing for everyone – locallyand globally – while also keeping in mind the needs of future

relevanttopics. Levac et al. [1] also suggest that the researcher keep in mind the purpose of the scopingstudy. Put forth by Arksey & O’Malley [4], there are three main purposes a scoping study maybe undertaken: 1) determine the extent, range, and nature of research activity, 2) to assess for thenecessity of a systematic literature review, and 3) disseminate the findings of the scoping review[4, p. 21]. As I was interested in learning more about the experiences of Asian engineering studentsin the United States and understanding the current state of knowledge in describing suchexperiences in the engineering education context, I found intriguing that the gauging for the needof a SLR was part of the SR process.

]. This extension further highlights the importance of non-traditional learning experiences in developing entrepreneurially minded engineering students prepared to apply their knowledge to global contexts. esearch shows that short-term international experiences are motivating, perspective-shiftingR[6], and effective in increasing students' cultural awareness[7]. For engineering students, study abroad programs significantly enhance technical skills, global perspectives, and motivation, leading to greater engagement in coursework[8]. Short-term study abroad programs have also been shown to improve motivation among financially at-risk and underrepresented community college students, highlighting their potential
