student-led case study activities were integrated into three different sections of ENGR 100(Introduction to Engineering) between January 2024 and April 2025. ENGR 100 is awriting-intensive, design-build-test course required of first-year engineering students at ouruniversity. Roughly 26 different sections offer different projects and disciplinary focuses in falland winter semesters. All sections are co-taught by a technical communication lead instructorand a technical lead instructor from one of the other engineering departments. The courseenrollment typically varies from about 40 - 80 students, who meet every week for two lectures,one lab session, and one discussion session.McLendon taught two of the three sections discussed in this paper

Helping students mature their environmental self-perception providesthem with the opportunity to view themselves not just as learners or future engineers, but asactive agents capable of contributing to equitable solutions. Furthermore, learning aboutenvironmental justice coupled with engineering education frames how students apply theirknowledge and skills to real-world contexts; it encourages students to think holistically,considering not only the technical viability of their work but also the social and environmentalconsequences [11].Table 3.

As a brief aside, an early question to the researchers was often “Why - Surely instructors just sharetheir slides as a pdf?” However, only a subset of instructors prepared traditional slides; others constructedlive content in editors, used document cameras, or employed a wide variety of sources during the lecture.Even when instructors used Microsoft PowerPoint or equivalent, the linear slide sequence was an incompleterepresentation of the presented material. In short, slides, and annotated slides were not an equivalentlearning resource to the recorded lecture video. We stress this is not just a technical limitation, rather thatfrom a student perspective, the slides if available and provided, did not meet the

Theidentities of TNBGNC individuals have been subject to systemic marginalization, often fueled bypoliticized rhetoric and harmful media narratives [1], [2], [3]. This discourse frequentlyperpetuates the stigmatization and devaluation of TNBGNC lives and experiences, framing themin opposition to the societal norms. Such framing not only erases the

By integrating these fields, STEM education aims to developtheoretical understanding and practical application in real-world contexts. Despite itswidespread adoption in developed countries, some initiatives
the emphasis on professionalethics, consideration of wellbeing, and attention to global, economic, environmental, and societalcontexts in engineering education, which has led to the development of new curricular contentaround ethics and contemporary issues. Yet compared with other initiatives such as increasingtraining in engineering design processes, development of entrepreneurial thinking, andundergraduate research opportunities, the inclusion of justice issues into the undergraduatecurriculum has been slow [1], and still remains obscure for students [2]. The challenges are, in large part, cultural. Mainstream engineering culture views ourdiscipline as depoliticized and purely technical, and thus free of bias [2], [3]. Any injustices

The theorydistinguishes between distal stressors, such as experiences of overt discrimination ormicroaggressions, and proximal stressors, which are internal processes like identityconcealment, internalized stigma, and the anticipation of rejection. For instance,Asian LGBTQIA+ students may feel pressure to hide their identities

Results from this EFA revealed that Navigationaland Familial Capital items fit Yosso’s (2005) conceptualization as distinct forms of capital. But, becausesome Resistant and Aspirational Capital items did not load sufficiently onto a factor, Sablan removedthree items related to aspirations derived from one’s family. Similarly, Hiramori et al (2024) found thatsome Aspirational Capital items (e.g. those related to internal motivation) loaded with NavigationalCapital - leading them to identify a form of CCW they call “Aspirational Navigational Capital” (p. 9).They found that Aspirational and Familial

The VR exercises currently under development aregenerating structural systems to expose students to seismic technology, including seismicisolation. Through the implementation of these VR exercises, we aim to increase students’engagement and material comprehension in upper division structural engineering courses.1. Motivation for WorkHands on learning is an excellent means of reinforcing material and engaging students. However,in fields such as structural engineering (SE), exploring theory can be difficult due to the scale ofreal-life projects and connections to real-life applications. This further

The authors reported that a few long-term collaborations haveresulted from the workshops and argued that workshops and conference sessions are not enoughto get to a point that there is a shared understanding, trust, and respect for building collaborativeefforts. They used the pattern of interaction as an illustration of collaboration in which bothonline tools and face-to-face (communications) interactions play an important role.Apart from the categories described above, Mills et al (2009) in a unique study reflected on theircollaboration around studying women in
