Recognizing and acknowledging that a “monoculture” is embeddeddeeply in the engineering education system may not be easy for those of us who are engineeringeducators and researchers. McIntosh points out that such a monoculture mirrors that of the USsocial system, not merely by what she calls “active forms” of interlocking oppressions, but moredeeply—in embedded forms—forms which “member[s] of the dominant group are taught not tosee”9

Considerable work, preparation and motivation are required to deliveran effective and persuasive presentation of this kind. At Stevens we have developed a companioncourse to the senior design sequence that involves a required participation in a pitch competition,involving prizes of considerable monetary value that are externally endowed in perpetuity. Wehave found that the format of our pitch presentation is well-structured, with both internal andexternal validation. The engineering teams select their best pitcher(s) to represent
students need and create a learning environment that is both academically rigorousand culturally balanced. Concrete examples showed how STEM faculty have used results oftheir student surveys and other practices to adapt their course(s) to be more culturally responsive,helping students feel welcome, respectful of each other's culture and backgrounds, engaged withSTEM, and prepared for the cultures they may encounter as they transition to the workforce.Thirty-eight post webinar survey responses (a 40% response rate) indicated that the webinarexceeded expectations (47.37%) or mostly met expectations (47.37%). Survey respondentsindicated that their confidence level to introduce culturally responsive instruction into theirclassroom/ institutions

There are also industry advisor(s) and/or a project sponsor. Students oftenfind their projects and industry advisors while they are completing the co-op experience.Sometimes engineers within the community volunteer their time as advisors and bring their ownprojects. Other typical projects involve design of a new campus building or development of anempty property lot within the city. Similar to what is done at other institutions, students interactwith local engineers, stakeholders, and city officials during their projects [13, 16].

, maintaining health, expressing humanity throughthe arts, and experiencing joy has been a major trend throughout human history. At the sametime, engineering has also been used for destructive purposes, including the development of toolsand processes that subjugate and inflict violence upon humans, other living things, and theenvironment. A critical juncture in the path that engineering has taken occurred during the 2ndWestern Industrial Revolution from the mid 1800’s to the early 1900’s. During this time,enterprises for capitalist accumulation of wealth and power came to dominate the field ofengineering and engineers became wedded to the interests of corporate capitalism. Today thelegacy of this shift persists. While there continue to be engineers

For this reason, the demographics itemswere moved to be placed at the end of the survey.Survey AdministrationIn Spring 2023, the survey was administered to aerospace engineering undergraduate students atthe University of Colorado Boulder and the University of Michigan.

Prior to the planned macroethics lesson(s), students enrolled

How instructors organize classroom materials can signal to students the environmentthat the lab will create. Faculty can set the stage for an inclusive classroom by including syllabusstatement(s) and an instructor learning philosophy. These sections of the syllabus connectstudents with resources and make clear the instructor’s commitment to creating an inclusiveenvironment. When students come to class on the first day, spending time reviewing these itemsdemonstrates their importance to the class. If you have a syllabus quiz, including questions onthese items can also reinforce their importance to students.Syllabus statements can include a land grant
