. While the section topics vary widely, each sectionis asked to incorporate group work, ethics, and engineering design into the course curriculum.The “Simple Robotics” section of the Applications in Engineering course has been offered eachyear for over five years. This section is heavily project-based and requires group workthroughout the semester. Mid-way through the fall 2019 semester, the thirty students in the“Simple Robotics” section participated in a two-day instructional module on equitableengineering talk. This module explicitly addressed the role of discourse in engineering practiceas well as the importance of inclusive and equitable discourse.The equitable engineering talk module took place over two 75-minute class sessions and

Such courses are bringing to the forefront many of the AccreditationBoard for Engineering Education (ABET) outcomes, e.g. project management, lifelong learning,design, teamwork, communication, problem solving, economics, ethics and contemporary issues[]. Even the sustainability is included in ABET design considerations, it is not very often fullydiscussed in student projects. However, students have often expressed the desire for the inclusionof renewable energy projects and sustainability concepts in senior design course sequence [6-10]. Such projects are providing multi-disciplinary collaboration, valuable hands-on experience, aswell as a working demonstration of green energy and design.

AWorkplace Skill would then be one that provides expertise for success at completing tasksrelevant to an employee’s the area of work. For engineers, this at its highest level can bedescribed as technical problem solving. This has aptly focused engineering degree programs ondeveloping Problem Solving Skills in their curricula. At the same time, it’s been well recognizedthat engineers do not problem solve by themselves. This has led to a complimentary category ofskills commonly referred to as the Professional or Soft Skills. These include developing expertisein communication, teamwork, ethical practice and lifelong learning. This category of skills isalso
