essential for the creation of attitudesrelated to solving social problems as well as for developing the abilities that could help them. This vision has been appropriated for American engineering curricula considering thatengineering can have a humanistic approach through specific courses or methodologies, theassessment of their activities from a perspective of the ethics, and the reflection about therelationship between engineering and technology, including its impacts [8]. In that sense, themain objective is deconstructing engineering from a utilitarian perspective, based on effectivityand loyalty to institutions, to reconstruct it in a libertarian or communitarian perspective based

Italso discusses the limitations of existing AI tools, emphasizing the need for future developmentsto focus on personalization to cater to individual learning needs more effectively while takingprivacy and ethical considerations into account.Rather than focusing purely on NDDs, Bhatti et al. [17] analyzed diverse applications of AItechnologies aimed at assisting students with not only dyslexia and dyscalculia but also a widerspectrum of learning disabilities. Similar to the review by Barua et al., this study also examinedliterature involving facial expressions and eye-tracking analysis to monitor students’engagement.

The students recommended the creation of aCenter for Engineering Diversity, structured project and lab teams to prevent isolation, strongeralumni/ae relationships, more formal mandatory training for faculty and TAs, teaching empathyand ethics in the first year, and altering syllabi to underline the value of DEI thinking. Thestudents, without faculty intervention, came up with many of the same solutions as have beenseen in the literature [17].MethodsThe complete survey administered to each class at the beginning of the term can be found inAppendix A.

experiences as graduate students and be open to adopt in ways in which the experiences of minority graduate students today may differ [56]13. Seek for intentional faculty development: effective mentoring of all students includes providing instrumental support and advocacy [52], and requires intentional faculty development [57]; training on the stages of mentoring relationships, developing mentoring contracts, the ethical responsibilities involved in mentoring, and the benefits and costs of mentoring for both mentee and mentors themselves could serve this purpose well [57]14.

services to meet students’ learning needs,but they also need to make opportunities for faculty to explore their teaching and researchinterests and priorities. In addition, HEIs need to prepare students for society so they can notonly meet employer needs, but also social, economic, and environmental needs of society.Students need to progress as individuals in an intellectual and ethical way, and some professionalcompetency frameworks may not address these dimensions. Many HEIs are responsible for andhave a mission to grow and produce citizens, not just competent employees. HEIs also need toconsider administrative structures, services, and resources available to pursue competency-basedlearning, which may differ from human resource structures in
numerical methods into one course while keeping students engaged,and (2) infusion of liberal arts into math-heavy curriculum by facilitating conversations about thehistorical, ethical and societal aspects of computing. The PSS approach was leveraged tointroduce undergraduate engineering students to the contributions of scientists, mathematiciansand engineers from traditionally underrepresented groups. In class, students are tasked withexploring an open-ended problem with the goal of learning a fundamental numerical methodsconcept. The problem is contextualized with a real-world application and used to highlight theachievement of an underrepresented STEM figure that links to the concept. Students then workin groups of two while problem complexity

During the programming components, candidates are expected to offer asolution, while also giving consideration to the choice of algorithm and its time complexity.Although
engineering programs [4].Significance and impactChanges in the ABET accreditation criteria for engineering education also indicate a significantneed for educational reform. The new criteria include a need to demonstrate training andexperience in areas specific to design methodology. These skill requirements, such as teamwork,technical communication, economics and ergonomics of system or product design, civicengagement and ethics, reveal that the mere acquisition of technical knowledge is insufficient fora robust, modern engineering education [2].Goals and objectivesThere are several core goals involved in this paper, all centered on improving student experience,learning, and satisfaction in undergraduate education. Content creation for this paper
of engineering and other content is critical. Recent findings makeclear that when provided with a relevant design problem and scaffolding, even young studentscan design solutions and learn as they do so.Significance and implicationsWhile we found increasingly rigorous approaches to research methods, there are stillopportunities for growth tied to qualitative methods in particular. However, we found a numberof persistent methodological issues that have continued since our initial review. To address these,we suggest the following; journals and conferences should: • encourage more rigorous studies by providing clearer guidelines about qualitative and quantitative methods; • encourage more ethical human subjects research by

-Sacre, & McGourty, 2005). According to ABET’s EC2000 standards, the new generation ofengineers is expected to possess deep technical knowledge in their field of study as well asprofessional skills, such as communicating effectively, working in teams, solving unstructuredproblems, and an awareness of ethical and contextual considerations in engineering (Lattuca,Terenzini, & Volkwein, 2006). The NAE believes engineers need to be flexible, resilient,creative, empathetic, and have the ability to recognize and seize opportunities (NAE, 2002;Sheppard, Pellegrino, & Olds, 2008) How can entrepreneurship education lead to these learning outcomes?

awareness ofengineering ethics 57. However, Hunkeler and Sharp58 did not find a significant effect of genderdistribution on group performance in their four-year study of a senior laboratory course. Lackey et al.21 found that journal score of a course predicted the first year GPA. Thecorrelation was stronger for men than women students, whose better predictor was high schoolGPA. The journal score represents student engagement, attitude, initiative, time managementskills, study habits, and willingness to persevere. Since women students, in general, do better onthose attributes, the authors believed that the journal score did not influence their GPA as muchas men students.Insight 3: There may not be any gender difference in creativity skills

by an Academy programadvisor, and HCC students are required to enroll in a prescribed set of courses that are alignedwith transfer to the College of Engineering. As part of the Engineering Academy program, allengineering courses offered at the participating community colleges are taught by Texas A&MCollege of Engineering faculty. Based on student academic performance while at the communitycollege, they have an opportunity to transfer directly into the College of Engineering at the endof their first or second year of study. These are highly motivated students and display a strongwork ethic. Six students from the Academy were accepted into the 2015/2016 REEMS academic yearprogram, twelve accepted into the 2016/2017 REEMS program
(Downey et al., 2006 as cited in [11].Those with cultural humility recognize that there are multiple technical approaches and thatwhile they may have a preference for one way of defining a problem over another as well as oneway of justifying a solution over another, they have the flexibility of mind and command oftechnical knowledge to be able to adjust and adapt to multiple ways of defining as well asresolving problems [11]. Cultural humility also means recognizing when we do not have thetechnical knowledge to accomplish a task and having the wherewithal to acknowledge thisdeficit and seek out this knowledge either through bringing in outside expertise or additionaleducation, as called for in the Code of Ethics of a Professional Engineer [11
