misaligns with much of the existing literature [2, 3, 15, 20]. Ethics functionsas a guiding principle for reasoning, decision making, and problem solving, all of which aredeeply integrated into both the internal conceptualization of critical thinking by our participantsand accepted definitions of critical thinking. The institutional context of this study likely plays arole in this as currently no explicit ethics course exists in any engineering program. Leadership atTexas A&M University in the college of engineering has instead mandated that ethics beintegrated into every course in engineering, although enforcing that mandate is highlychallenging in practice and nearly impossible logistically.RecommendationsThis study highlights the critical

While social change is outside the scope of highereducation faculty control, curriculum changes can be used to encourage women as well as retainthem in engineering programs.There is evidence that certain curriculum practices are more enticing to women and motivatethem to stay in engineering. Strategies to attract women to engineering have included teamwork,service projects, and social impacts of engineering projects. These strategies reflect the higherpercent of degrees awarded to women in areas like environmental and biomedical

How might we connect people to EM assessment tools that already exist?BackgroundEngineering faculty have been working to incorporate entrepreneurial mindset in curriculum formany years. Several efforts have been made by prior authors to summarize the existing literatureon assessment of EM. In an effort to find the appropriate tools for assessing entrepreneurialmindset, a systematic literature search resulted in a comprehensive listing of availableinstruments and surveys.

(2) What common grouping strategies do studentsuse, and do these align with the course framework? (3) Does the systems engineering approachfoster unique metacognitive insights? A qualitative analysis of student submissions from the Fall2024 cohort reveals that time management and rest are identified as the most impactful skills.Grouping strategies ranged from simple categories

Each phase had a different duedate, and based on the feedback received, the platform made a suggested grade adjustment. Theinstructors could accept the suggested grade adjustment or manually change the grade based on thefeedback and any initial accommodations granted to the student in question.

agency instructors andstudents feel they have to make inputs about the course and “external framing has a stronginfluence over how much control the instructor can yield to students (i.e. the internal framing)”[29, p. 3].In our study, factors contributing to the external framing would include the aspects related to thecoordinated nature of the course, such as common content, homework, and exams. Hagman et al.claim that “student perceptions of agency in the classroom are likely less based on externalframing; their perception of having the most agency in the classroom will likely occur with weakinternal framing, regardless if this is coupled with strong or weak external framing as they areoften unaware of external factors” [29, pg. 3].
