Thus,though many aspects of marginalized student experiences are known areas of concern, it isdifficult for faculty to gain an intimate knowledge of them in their classroom contexts.Perspective-Taking to Enhance Faculty Understandings of InclusionFaculty are key stakeholders in creating equitable and inclusive experiences for undergraduatestudents (Glass et al., 2015). However, faculty understandings of equity and inclusion are oftenlimited due to a lack of awareness of or experience with students belonging to different identitygroups (Mayat & Amosun, 2011; Rao & Gartin, 2003; Zhang et al., 2010).

Because it encompasses such a wide range of skills, teaching the entireBOK curriculum poses problems for traditional engineering faculty, not only because they lackpedagogy training in communication and teamwork,4 but because program-required courses mustalso include a full term of technical material. Pressed for time and specializing in technicalskills, many engineering faculty find assessing students’ written communication and teamworkdifficult and time consuming. And yet these written, oral and teamwork deliverables are mostlikely the

Futher,educators must be educated in assessment methods that will help them ensure that theyare meeting those outcomes successfully.A second issue with the new criteria is that, unlike the old criteria which theoreticallyallowed educators to gain accreditation and then ignore any efforts towards satisfyingconstituents until the next accreditation cycle, the new criteria requires that all efforts beon-going. This on-going aspect of the new criteria is the next step in understanding whatis expected from this criteria.

how that work is recognized (or not).Historically, women and minoritized faculty have been asked to do more university “care” workthat does not translate into promotability [33]–[35]. Feminist anthropologists have long arguedfor viewing care as a form of labor that reinforces inequalities [36], [37]. At the same time, asboth Tronto [8] and Campbell [31] suggest, we are concerned that framing this labor as carework falls into the pitfalls of educational paternalism. Our interpretations of care in engineeringeducation aims to avoid unidirectional deficit models while emphasizing the shared need forcaring communities and programs.Who cares?Noddings [4] described the teacher as a “carer.” Engineering education research also puts anonus on
