evidence collected, from student artifacts, writtenreflections, class observations, etc. (see Table 1) points to system maps as an effectiveintervention that lies at the intersection of design and social justice.From the faculty perspective one of the most valuable aspects of having student teams createsystem maps is the side conversations that occur. As mentioned previously, the course is taughtin a flipped classroom modality so students work on their system maps during class, enablingrich conversations between faculty members and the design teams. These conversations serve asopportunities to illustrate to students how their engineering work recreates existing social issues.For example, one team wanted to build a system to test water in

Theresults indicated that while every respondent recognized a faculty advisor, 43% of Black doctoralstudents in STEM reported that they did not have a mentor, compared to 24% of their Whitecounterparts [10]. Furthermore, the attrition of doctoral students remains remarkably high in STEM anddisproportionately so for those who hold marginalized identities in their fields [11]; some studiesestimate that over 50% of doctoral students will not finish their degrees [12], [13]. It may not comeas a surprise that insufficient mentoring can negatively impact graduates students’ decision topersist in their degree programs, among a myriad of other factors

In future projects, having scribe support would be helpful toreduce the number of contact hours needed for the industry representative. One idea would be topair a student with an engineer that is working in industry, have the student do one or a fewworking sessions to discuss a single case and a resulting decision tree, and to then present asummary of the instance and the solution to their peers. This would allow a faculty member togather case studies, would make it easier to find industry contributors due to the decreased timecommitment, and would give engineering students a deeper understanding of at least

This, we posit, is an area that needs redefining, given thatethical decision-making is rarely a linear process with single objective “right” answers and ofteninvolves iterative reasoning and interactive engagement with the problem. As such, we havedeveloped a suite of ethics-driven classroom games that have been implemented and evaluatedacross three universities, engaging over 400 first-year engineering students over the past 3 years.Now in the grant’s final year, we are finishing the design of two of the game-based ethicsinterventions to (1) more accurately align with

task is encapsulated by ABET Criterion 5 which states that an effective team includes“members [who] together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment,establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives” (2023). For the most part, this education inpractice consists of combining students into groups and letting them explore teamwork dynamicsthrough self-determination (i.e., figuring it out as they go). This sort of situational, experientialeducation mimics to some extent what happens in the engineering workplace, where individualswith unique skill sets are tasked with working together to achieve a common goal.

impossible to truly learn without the learner being active in someway [2]. Active learning helps students to ascend above the initial cognition levels of rememberand understand from the revised Bloom’s taxonomy [3], requiring learners at the least to applyand analyze. Project-based learning is an important active learning technique, which allowsstudents to build upon what they already know from previous courses [1] and further deepentheir knowledge as they evaluate and create. In addition to deepening their knowledge of specifictechnical competencies from the engineering curriculum, project-based learning allows studentsto acquire skills that will be vital to them throughout their careers, including problem solving,communication, teamwork as well as
