specific aspect, the division was made on 0-4 and5-8 years. As the focus of the study was on transdisciplinary engineering design, it was decided that ineach group, representation from different disciplines be ensured to allow for a transdisciplinarydiscussion. Therefore, one representative from each of the engineering disciplines from eachgraduation group was randomly selected and invited to the interview. Table 1 shows that thenumber of focus group participants, their disciplines and graduation year range. The dates for thefocus group interviews were selected through the group vote with alumni in May 2018. Once thedates were set, participants were emailed the arrival instructions.

Weekly meetings and other activitiesThe REU students met weekly with the program leads to discuss progress in their researchprojects and to continue the Entering Research training, covering topics such as the relationshipand communication with their mentors and coping strategies. The meetings took place viaZoom, and the program director, based at Rice, visited the participants at UTEP and ASU tomeet with them in person and conduct the weekly meeting from their facilities.In addition, participants received training from the Rice Center for Written, Oral and VisualCommunication on how to

States Culture includes reflections wherein participants drewconnections to home by comparing or contrasting their experiences abroad with their experiencesback home (locally or nationally). Many students drew connections to everyday elements of lifeback home, like food, coffee, alcohol, transportation, stores, and universities. Others mentionedbuying souvenirs for friends or family back home, and one participant, Ian, mentioned wantingto bring his family to places he visited. Additionally, Matthew made several comparisonsrelating to work ethic between the countries he visited and the United States. He describeddisdain for the perceived alcohol culture among locals and general “laziness” he observed in thecountries he visited, drawing

, it allows for the solution to viewed as something realistic,usable, and practical, resulting in greater overall success [6]. As an engineer, it is important tolearn about those the project will impact to ensure that the product will meet their needs. Byasking students to consider the needs of others and providing realistic environments to practiceempathy in engineering design challenges, researchers hoped to achieve two outcomes: first,increased retention and initial registration in STEM-based classes after participating in theprogram, and second, greater overall success in designing and creating solutions.The empathy connections made in the program drew heavily from education research, includingNoddings’ ethics of care and Dweck’s growth

We sampled 279students at the University of Toronto - a major Canadian university that facilitates extensiveeducational programming in ML/AI. This includes undergraduate and graduate engineeringstudents. Students in ML/AI courses that were offered as part of an official ML/AI academicspecialization were invited to participate in the survey. The study was reviewed and approved bythe University Ethics Review Office. Data was collected through paper surveys distributed inclasses. The survey was open to students in any year of study but mostly students in Year 3 – 4and in their graduate studies as they

Flint Water Crisis (Table 2). To address cognitive issues, weused two online videos (Online Lesson 13.1 – Flint Water Crisis Overview and Online Lesson13.2 – Flint Water Crisis Chemistry) and an online formative quiz for each lesson. We also usedthree lectures. In the first lecture, we reviewed the chemistry aspects of the crisis, workedthrough example problems, and completed a concept map activity. In the second lecture, wecovered the story of the Flint water crisis, discussing the events leading to the water crisis, howthe crisis was uncovered, and the failures of government employees to address the crisis.

Co-design as a method is promising in that it affords different perspectivesand motivations yet encourages ethical considerations and a shared understanding of the designoutcome [30]. This method also acknowledges the power dynamics that can arise from differentstakeholders working to design together [30]. In future work, we will have educators, students,and researchers working together to design solutions to the difficulty of creating inclusivepractices and environments in engineering education.

This was done in two rounds to ensure proper alignment ofthe interview questions with the analytic framework described above.1 Active debate regarding the difficulty and ethics of conducting interviews across powerdifferentials, including race, gender and class, continues in scholarly discussions of interviewmethodologies [16-19]. O’Brien [17] argues that race-matching alone is insufficient inaccounting for the multiple layers of difference and power differentials that exist betweenresearcher and interviewee. Instead, she contends that the most important objective for theresearcher is instead to “activate” race by addressing it specifically, indicating to intervieweesthat it is acceptable to discuss race openly (p. 79).

They havebecome significantly more attuned to the societal aspects of engineering and the importanceof integrating social and ethical dimensions into their work. Human-centered issues, such asecology, environmental protection, and life cycle considerations, now occupy a much moreprominent place in their consciousness.Linking theory with practice.
