All these methods from theliterature point to an increase in student motivation, but do not show a discernable change inknowledge gain as proven by a rigorously developed exam.Ideally, one can apply a nationally standardized exam to measure such knowledge gain.

By confronting these challenges and connecting technical skills with socialresponsibility, as well as addressing gaps in equity within both practice and education, engineerscan be better equipped to develop sustainable solutions that meet the diverse needs ofcommunities and help reduce systemic inequalities. It is essential to tackle these challenges inorder to promote a more inclusive and equitable engineering profession.This study highlights important challenges and opportunities, but further research is needed toexplore how these reform approaches can be implemented in the engineering curriculum.
