help transition engineersdevelop into ethical and equity-minded professionals while adapting successfully to theirchanging roles and responsibilities, we need to understand how early career engineers experienceand perceive issues related to ethics and equity in their workplace. This understanding will allowfor the development of a comprehensive educational curriculum, professional developmentinitiatives, and leadership skills, for personal and professional growth. This study presents the findings from research carried out by interviewing 13 early careerengineers from diverse engineering disciplines across North America, delving into theireducational backgrounds, current work projects, and challenges related to professional ethics

. Considering these benefits of robotics-based K-12STEM education, robotics-based lessons are being implemented in many K-12 schools on pilotbasis [9-12]. Nonetheless, despite its tremendous potential, robotics remains to be widelyincorporated in K-12 STEM curricula.Based on our prior experiences, we have come to realize that a plethora of activities need to beperformed beforehand to incorporate robotics-based lessons into K-12 STEM curricula. Forexample, to select, develop, and implement effective robotics-based lessons we suggest: (i)identifying appropriate illustrative scenarios, informed by situated cognition [7,9], for teachingSTEM topics using robotics kits so that the robot plays a central role in the teaching and learning[10-12]; (ii) carefully

In manyinstitutions, such a program is desirable, but historical precedents and disciplinary biases makeimplementations difficult. Yet, in the professional world, multidisciplinary design teams arequite common, and the ability for recent graduates to be able to effectively contribute tomultidisciplinary design teams is prized.
