Class Structure for Tier-one and HSI InstitutionsII.2 Pedagogy at Tier-one InstitutionThe pedagogical approach implemented at the tier-one institution was as follows: 1. Introduction – lecture sessions were initiated by introducing the respective theme of interest and highlighting related real-world engineering applications. The idea behind emphasizing real-world applications was to acquaint students with a plethora of scenarios in which technical themes are integrated. At times, various physical models were taken to class to further illustrate specific details of real-world applications such as geometric configurations or different types of

There havebeen several instances of integration into engineering education beyond a stand alone ethicsclass, within the curriculum itself, through co-curricular activities, and through self-selection.CurriculumUniversities such as Carnegie Mellon University took more of a direct approach.

This allowed for diversedesigns as the bridge dimensions would change depending on where the students chose to buildthe road. In addition to applying simple mechanics concepts to design the bridge, students wererequired to implement analytical skills from their probability and statistics, and transportationprinciples courses to complete a wholistic design. Models of the bridges were then built andtested. This project provided students the opportunity to see the connection between their coursesand real-world applications.

Due to these attitudes, students andlab instructors tend to focus more on technical knowledge rather than communication skills inlabs. Another study found that the written engineering documents seldom contained socio-cultural features of engineering and the trade-offs between productivity and safety or health of anoperator [7]. This type of neutral and objective text couldn’t reflect the complexity and human-related real-world engineering problems [7]. In this study, we want to model engineeringthinking to increase students’ awareness of rhetorically-focused writing in ME labs.

While the NFB recognizesthat a generally accepted definition for "visually impaired," "low vision," or "vision loss" doesnot exist, the fact remains that people with any level of blindness/visual impairments (BVI) musthave a fair opportunity to understand the world with which they interact. This is especially truefor students with BVI given their need to interact with educational course materials that are ofteninaccessible.

on assignments, they apply critical and practical thinking skills to address multi-dimensional problems. During the application process, there is no singular strategy to address social inequity in engineering, hence the need for multiple approaches [15]. Showcasing case studies in the classroom may serve as a source of inspiration and ideas, and as a reminder that engineers can actively contribute to social justice, as well as social injustice. Martina and Beseb found that “bringing real- world problems into the classroom can serve as a vehicle to engage students about the ever-present importance of social justice and potentially change mindsets.” [16]. ● Integration – happens when students are informed, when
