well-versed in technical matters, concerns havebeen expressed by some in the engineering education community that students are not gaining anappreciation for non-technical topics that would improve their responsiveness as engineers with abroader view of the world and the role of their profession in that world. When faced with tryingto create space in their undergraduate curriculum for new topics, engineering educators often useABET accreditation requirements as a roadblock. But careful reading and consideration of theABET criteria indicate that the criteria are not actually a roadblock to such changes for mostschools.This paper describes the approach taken by the Mechanical Engineering program in one publicresearch university to open credits

TheRoyal Academy of Engineering [24] define six engineering habits of mind; systems thinking;adapting; problem-finding; creative problem-solving; visualizing; and improving. These areaccompanied by the following learning habits of mind: ethical consideration; curiosity, openmindedness; resilience; resourcefulness; collaboration; and reflection. It is therefore clear thatthis ‘new’ engineer of the future must have skills beyond the technical domain and Spinks,Silburn and Birchall [25] define three roles of an engineer: the first as a technical specialist;the second as an integrator who can work across boundaries in complex environments; andthird as a change
demonstrates awareness of downstream effects [1].Approaches such as sustainable design [2], human-centered design [3], value-sensitive design[4], and universal design [5] have gained popularity in pushing engineering design toward amore holistic thought process. These methodologies ask engineers to expand their design scopeand consider the impact of their engineering solutions on a global scale, with new stakeholdersfrom a wide range of backgrounds, countries, cultures, and experiences. Engineering designersmust now constantly consider effects on the environment and natural resources, both for the sakeof the present and for future generations. Engineers must design not just for individual wants andneeds, but also for the public good. These

Various approaches were tried with some success; however,engineering ethics overall has limited exposure in programs and is pushed to the periphery ofengineering education. In 2016, The National Academy of Engineering conducted a call forsubmissions to support an effort to select exemplars of engineering ethics education. This effortyielded 44 submissions from universities throughout the US. Review of the content revealed thatthe submissions ranged from short activities used in engineering courses to multiyear courses ofstudy with the preponderance of work structured in a case study type activity [6].

In the wake of George Floyd’s murder and the racialjustice protests that followed, many national organizations issued Black Lives Matter statementsand pledged to redouble their efforts to address the racialized history and impact of science [8],[9]. These statements expressed similar sentiments and commitments to “increasing theparticipation, inclusion, and empowerment of historically underrepresented segments of societyin all venues where [science and engineering] is taught, practiced, and supported.” One approachto fulfilling these commitments is the notion of “decolonizing” the STEM curriculum [10].

the teaching/ learning process, so when developinga new course it is crucial to adopt a curriculum model that will enable educators to systematicallyand transparently map out the rationale for the use of particular teaching, learning, andassessment approaches [12, 13]. Context and transfer are important elements of learning. Context can be very helpful forstudents to understand how to apply basic skills like math or technology applications to complexengineering problems. However, if students are only taught in one context, they may havetrouble transferring to other contexts [14]. The challenge for teaching technology across theCEM curriculum is to create knowledge and skill-building opportunities that allow students totransfer this
