Special emphasis was given to proposals involving "gatekeeper" and "bottleneck" courses and to the implementation of new teaching/learning strategies.

Despite this, the importance ofproper sleep norms is often overlooked. The physical resilience of students can also mask theissue.

In order toaddress inclusion, scholars have engaged with critical race theories [6], anti-racism [7], and othertheoretical perspectives that can be ported in to address the systems of oppression brought tobear on engineering practices and programs.One approach to this has been to explicitly engage with the intersecting oppressions facing whitewomen, women of color, and other multiply marginalized members of the engineering profession[3], [5], [8].

Forinstance, one common challenge is related to the duration of projects. The timelines of someinfrastructure projects for a community are longer than allowed in a semester or an academicyear, which potentially complicates student involvement and learning assessment [2]. Moreover,students may not be able to see the impacts of their work on the community and therebyundervalue the service learning experiences [9].
