overcome any obstacles that they might havefaced. This is evident when looking for reasons why engineering students drop out. To nosurprise, there are a plethora of pitfalls an individual can make, with no recognition of theinstitutional hurdles that act as gatekeepers in perpetuating the current makeup of engineering as“pale and male” [62, p. 9]. As listed by industry and blogger articles, reasons that students dropout of engineering programs include: poor work ethic, inability to deal with failure, and lackingthe engineering mindset [63]. It is common talk among engineers that when trying to explain the dearth of women andPOC in engineering, meritocracy is used to justify by stating things such as “they aren’t cut outto be an engineer” or

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

It is unclear if these students, the majority of whom areGeneration Z, tend to think of themselves as self-reliant or if the COVID-19 pandemiclockdowns have made lasting effects of isolationism in their work ethics. Another possibleexplanation comes from students lacking confidence in the advice or feedback from peers, as onecomment stated (Q18).3.3 Perceived Design and CAD Skills and Students’ Benefits After Design ReviewMore than half of the students agreed with the statement that they had strong CAD and designskills coming into the course, much higher than anticipated when examining the Part II surveyresponses.

Whendeveloping processes of consent, participants must be informed of the different consequences upondeciding [56]. This notion arose from the development of ethical principles while performing researchexperiments that involved human subjects and has been translated into frameworks such as theBelmont Principles [57]. A crucial aspect in the process of informing is the development of methodsthat provide individuals and communities with sufficient and useful information to understand therisk and benefits of their decisions [58].
