The program isstructured in a 2+2 model; students participate in a 2-year foundation curriculum that includes arange of courses across engineering disciplines, the sciences, mathematics, design andcomplementary studies. This is followed by a 2-year specialization curriculum, during whichstudents take one of 8 (at publication time) Majors. Curriculum integration and multidisciplinarythinking are emphasized as program goals.The Majors have a focus, although not exclusively, on emerging and rapidly developing areas ofspecialization within engineering. Some of the Majors that are offered within the EngineeringScience program are also offered in other institutions/programs (like Aerospace Engineering,Biomedical Engineering and Electrical &

Most undergraduate engineering programs in the UnitedStates are dominated by white, middle class, straight male students (and faculty) so they arethe main contributors to the social dynamic of the school’s climate. Those that are part of thedominant culture are better prepared to navigate through the social spaces and sometimes donot see the inequalities present [24]. For example, one JSY white male student described hisclassmates in the engineering program: it is

Indeed, individuals from many differentinstitutions, regardless of position or institutional rank, mentioned that conversations in thedepartments and colleges that were stimulated by an ABET visit were helpful.

Create case studies rooted in real engineering initiatives in marginalized communities.Engineering educators should critically reflect on their ability to make long-standingcommitments to specific communities, taking care not to over-extend their reach.

? To understand the best practices (and challenges) of designers (both engineers and non- engineers) for incorporating stakeholder considerations into the design of an aircraft, I conducted a case study in industry using human factors and interdisciplinary collaboration theories to describe the findings. I also examined engineering design literature and compared their perspectives on systems thinking and the integration of stakeholder considerations with the results of an exploration of current aerospace design textbooks and syllabi. Finally, I developed a survey using engineering design education research to learn from the participants in my study about their prior knowledge of and preconceptions
