the faculty prioritized ensuring that our students have “anability to…create a collaborative and inclusive environment” upon graduation. Our approach tointroducing DEI pedagogy was to focus on a first-year course, Grand Challenges in Engineering(GCE), and a second-year course, Engineering Mechanics: Statics (Statics). GCE is the firstfoundational design course in the program, where ABET Student Outcomes (SOs) 2-6 areintroduced. This was a natural fit for introducing DEI concepts, since they tie well with SOs 3(effective communication) and 5 (function effectively on a team). While Statics is a less obviouschoice to integrate DEI instruction, it was an opportunity to explore innovative ways toemphasize the importance of DEI in engineering in a

Lackof student preparation in all dimensions needed to succeed in the engineering environment–a“misalignment” between engineering education and practice has long been noted, and manyengineering graduates still endure a challenging transition to the workforce [1], [2]. To addressthis need, engineering educators have incorporated project-based learning in the curriculum [3],[4], [5], including capstones [6] and design projects [7].

PBL has beenshown to increase long term knowledge retention, the motivation of learners and their ability tosolve authentic problems [30]. More specifically, PBL has been shown to be effective in helpingthe persistence of underrepresented students in STEM. For example, in a case study of at-riskfemale students in a physics classroom, the use of a PBL curriculum was shown to have positiveeffects on both student collaboration and self-efficacy [31].

included if empathy development was amajor component examined or considered in the research. Many that integrated empathy did notdirectly explore its growth or development, it was more of a component considered or as part ofthe curriculum rather than the goal of the research. For example, McDonald and Pan (2020)presented feedback from graduate students on ethical considerations for artificial intelligence[49]. While this work elicited insight into prompting consideration of bias and fairness, fosteringempathy was more of an indirect outcome than the phenomena of focus. Alternatively studiesconducted in other countries were excluded since the interpretation and assessment of empathymay vary by culture depending on the societal norms and preferences

A highlight of the year is when we invite guest speakers to talk about their experiences as women in the engineering workplace. Hearing about how women have been and continue to be treated as engineers is an eye-opening discussion for the students. We also include practical applications for the students. For example, we discuss what they should do if they see someone disrespecting someone from an underrepresented group in the workplace. Another major theme in the course is ethics, where we study ethical dilemmas

STEM continues to support the long-term goalof preparing students for life-long careers that promise a competitive edge in the job market.However, STEM program development is often challenging. Wu-Rorrer [1] argues that “STEMremains vaguely defined, and the strategies to successfully integrate it into the currenteducational system remain elusive”, inferring that a school’s STEM program is amorphous.Furthermore, STEM programs need more work than before with recent pressure to promoteinclusivity [2] and a solid career path [3] in a stable environment [4].
