affected in these situations, especially after being taught about QPR and stuff, and then how you as an RA can get the resources that you need.Being emotionally mature, recognizing and setting appropriate boundaries, and having professorswho are informed of their students’ circumstances are all advantageous to engineering education.First, emotional maturity helps students to manage stress, collaborate better, and communicatemore effectively. It also enables them to regulate their emotions and maintain a positive outlook,both of which are important to problem-solving and innovation. Recognizing boundaries is alsoimportant in engineering education because it helps students to understand and respect ethicaland professional norms. This includes

The ScLR follows the methodologypresented by Arksey and O’Malley (2005), which breaks the process into five stages: (1)identifying the research questions, (2) identifying the relevant studies, (3) study selection, (4)charting the data, and (5) collating, summarizing, and reporting the results. These stages wereperformed iteratively, which allowed for reflection and study team collaboration along eachstage.

Areas of apparent divergence include more concern with mindsets andinnovativeness in ENT and more emphasis on team skills and mentorship in LEAD. Thesefindings present opportunities for collaboration that could benefit all “Engineering and …”divisions and help overcome the inertia that characterizes engineering education. The permeationof topics across ASEE and the convergence of themes across divisions also suggest that forminga new division might perpetuate disciplinary siloes, rather than support knowledge integrationacross the “Engineering and . . .” divisions
