Initiative (WPSI). The acronym was changed from“WPSE” to WPSI. We dropped the “E” as our intent was never to be exclusive to non-engineering students or faculty members. At ASEE 2014, we presented preliminary results fromthe first WPSI iteration. Following the 2014 conference, we identified the need for a valid,reliable, and easily replicable assessment measure that could be used both within and outside ofWPSI to measure the attainment of a series of sustainability-related learning objectivesthroughout the engineering education research community.1 In this paper, we present the ongoingdevelopment and refinement of this measure, the Sustainability Skills and Dispositions Scale(SSDS). This instrument evaluates students’ attainment of learning

Most of the stakeholders found all items to beimportant and a cutoff of 0.60 ensured that items from all clusters were included. If there wereitems that had a correlation less than 0.60, but were regarded by stakeholders to be important,those items were retained. Qualitatively, items were added and deleted based on this criterion.As a result, the initial item pool was reduced from 94 to 48 items.

; Lopez& Chims, 1993). This body of work constitutes the foundational research that lays out theLGBTQIA+ student experience. This period of research is followed by works that discussLGBTQIA+ student identity development, which were initially positivistic and linear in nature(Bilodeau & Renn, 2005). Later, research on LGBTQIA+ students evolved to take on a moreintersectional lens, and identity development models became additive or cumulative in nature.The latest evolution of LGBTQIA+ research adopted a post-modern interpretation, which rejectsidentity as additive, and instead examines the experience of LGBTQIA+ individuals through thelenses of queer theory, critical theory, critical race theory, and feminism (Duran, 2019; Lange etal., 2019

These challenges include identifying effective means of disseminating information to faculty, encouraging and supporting adoption and educational innovation within the context of a research university, effectively bridging disciplines to advance both writing studies and engineering education, achieving critical mass of supportive faculty in any particular department or college, and ensuring initial and ongoing buy-in and support from administrators.In our college, we believe that the most impactful short-term investment will be to educate ourengineering faculty about

-LearningAnother salient context for empathic development is service learning, sometimes alternativelyreferred to as helping initiatives or community-engaged pedagogy. Researchers exploring thesecontexts do not always focus on empathic development, although when they do, they generallyemphasize that these educational contexts provide unique conditions (namely, repeatedinteractions with users) that support utilization and development of empathy among studentstoward a specific user group. Generally, the greater the extent or amount of interaction a designerhas with a user or user group, the better.51 For example, Zoltowski, Oakes, and Cardella52 foundthat students who immersed themselves into the world of a user were more likely to reach thehighest level of
