the basis of the creative nature ofengineering [4], [5]. Key aspects of engineering thinking include identifying contradictions(logical, technical, or physical) and applying imagination. This leads to the transformation ofideas into tangible technologies, balancing technological, ethical, and aesthetic considerations toachieve desired outcomes. In contrast, critical thinking allows engineers to re-approach oldproblems with creativity, flexibility, and a desire to improve the world around them. Engineeringthinking, on the other hand, is done with the activity of design or production in mind. Thinking isan active process for engineers which is quite different from philosophical thinking, whichrequires a contemplative posture of removing oneself

To date, most publications on equity-centered engineering course implementationsdescribe efforts in engineering design or ethics courses and modules. This may suggest that anequity lens is only or most relevant in those courses; however, if the goal is to promote students’capacity for equity-minded engineering practice, educators must center equity in a variety ofimpactful courses across students’ academic paths [17].

The findings provideempirical grounding for ways to build belonging-minded engineering environments.A unique finding related to belonging in this study was the way students defined competence inengineering as an aspect of belonging. Studies have shown relationships between students’ senseof belonging and feelings of self-efficacy and competence [6], and with academic performance inengineering [3], but this study shows how engineering students directly interpret the meaning ofbelonging. Many participants related belonging to some expectation of performance. Forexample, were they performing well enough, able to contribute, deserving of their status as anengineering student?

Low-resource engineering emphasizes creativityand user-centered design, which are transferable skills to many other career paths as well. Thepractice of designing technologies with low-resource communities in mind has been shown toincrease the equity, accessibility, and use of developed technologies worldwide [5]. Low-resource engineering design projects have benefited communities facing challenges such aspoverty, natural disasters, and inaccessibility to quality healthcare [6].

Getting away from that engineering community is like a good break because I don't want to always just be around engineers. You want to feel connected to them and you want to understand them.

They provide students with a lens to view engineering not merely astechnical work, but as an opportunity to cultivate compassion, relational awareness, and systemsthinking that support both environmental harmony and more-than-human flourishing.This interplay between emotion and action also aligns with findings in evolutionary biology andthe psychology of social behavior [90].
