Introduction A feasibility study of thorium as a nuclear fuel in molten salt reactors for Missouribecame a project for graduate students in engineering. This was a multifaceted assignmentwherein students had to research, present and co-write individual sections of a primer. Thisproject motivated students to work with industry, engineering, legal and economics terminology.The mulitdisciplinary aspect of the project was enriching to students who harbored differentbackgrounds and talents.

In the Bell Program, students complete lower-divisioncoursework (first- and second-year coursework), typically at community colleges across thenation. Students then complete their B.S. in Engineering in 2.5 years in the Bell Program.

Dominant forms of engineering education today function toreinforce these interlocking logics and structures, exacerbating existing societal inequities bydistorting life-giving relationships to land, labor, and lives in ways that are incommensurablewith decolonial projects. Put another way: the long-standing societal inequities on whichEuroAmerican capitalism relies are sustained by engineering education as we know it.Within the United States, colleges and universities are the primary sites for the reproduction ofdominant engineering education. As such, engineering education researchers within colleges anduniversities exist at a critical junction capable of shifting dominant engineering education

Bielefeldt [40] performed a detailed study of a related phenomenon: “sociallymotivated students leaving engineering at disproportionately higher rates,” a particular concernsince societal and caring motivations have gendered and ethnoracial variations. Bydecontextualizing engineering knowledge in the curriculum, engineering education pushes outstudents motivated to use engineering for social good.When students are encouraged to work on local or global community-based projects, their sense(reinforced by their educators) that social and cultural contexts are irrelevant to – or, at

Therefore, in Fall 2019, we initiated the SoTLresearch project on the implementation of the AAE 20401 VLs. Since we wanted to pursue theexcellence in VLs by creating the innovative virtualized lab of the existing hands-on labs, weused the Backward Course Design Model to analyze and characterize the course context, content,assessment, and pedagogy of the course so that we can integrate VLs into the existing labcoursework smoothly.

atthe beginning of time-intensive design experiences (such as term-long design projects orcapstone design courses) to help students develop a targeted understanding of important aspectsof the design processes and set intentions for how they will engage in their design projects.IntroductionAs we critically consider what we mean to accomplish in design teaching and learning, we candistinguish among the exposure to design practices and processes, intention to engage in designpractices and processes in specific ways, and the subsequent design behavior that changes thepractice and process.The goal of this paper is to understand engineering student design intent. We build on a long-term research program in which we have used research results from
