, which has shown that “even the mostseemingly objective and neutral realms of engineering practice and design have built intothem social norms, culturally-informed judgments about what counts as ‘truth’; andideologically-infused processes of problem definition and solution” (p. 71). This workhas demonstrated that, regardless of the effectiveness of the methodologies of science andengineering in producing knowledge and technologies, the work that produces these arealways imbued with social values, and are hence ideological.This ubiquity of the ideology of depoliticization suggests that its effects on students arelikely to be found even in seemingly mundane aspects of engineering education practice;indeed, these mundane aspects are likely to be a

Change: Fostering Adaptability along the Engineering PathwayIntroductionRapid technological advancement, demographic shifts, and globalization have been reshapingengineering work more quickly than ever [1]. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has also broughtunprecedented socioeconomic, environmental, and political change over the past year [2].Engineers must navigate these changes to innovate solutions to these pressing issues; yetresearch suggests that neither engineering students nor engineering professionals are sufficientlyprepared in this area. This CAREER grant addresses the issue by developing the means to define,understand, measure, and teach adaptability as a key meta-competency for engineers.Adaptability is the ability to

marginalizingexperiences in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines. Thesemarginalizing experiences are characterized by alienating program environments rife withgendered-racism, invisibility, isolation, and the frequent need to prove one’s legitimacy in STEM(Alexander & Hermann, 2016; Bryson & Kowalske, 2022; Johnson, 2011; Wilkins-Yel et al.,2019). A burgeoning area of research has highlighted how these experiences of difference havenegatively impacted WOC’s mental health and, in turn, their persistence in STEM (Evans et al.,2018; Wilkins-Yel et al., 2022). One group uniquely positioned to create systemic change inthese dominant white masculine milieus is graduate advisors. Advisors are stewards of theSTEM climate across

IntroductionIn order to effectively solve complex problems in design and manufacturing, students need todevelop metacognitive skills. This research suggests measuring metacognitive skills inengineering students by having them participate in hands-on and virtual reality activities that arerelated to design and manufacturing.

BOK1-compliant accreditation criteria is illustrated by the tabularcomparison provided in Appendix B. The table lists the 15 BOK1 outcomes, the specificrequirements articulated for each outcome in Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge for the 21stCentury, and the associated provisions of the ABET GCBLP and CEPC. An outcome-by-outcome comparison clearly demonstrates that the BOK outcomes represent a significantly moreambitious and comprehensive standard than do the ABET criteria. For example, consider BOKOutcome 1, which includes requirements for “biology, chemistry, ecology,geology/geomorphology, engineering economics, mechanics, material properties, systems, geo-spatial representation, and information technology.” The corresponding provision of

the technology as a medium for designexploration, particularly when used by novice designers. The course selected to introducegenerative design concepts had been previously developed as an elective upper-levelarchitectural computing class emphasizing advanced BIM (Building Information Modeling)content. Therefore, it was necessary to limit the course time allocated to an experimentalintroduction of generative design to approximately four weeks. During this period studentswould need to develop competencies with Rhino 3D and Grasshopper. Therefore, theinstructional strategy was divided into three areas of content focus: 1.

Building onwork out of science and technology studies and the sociology of engineering, Robbins [16]describes and contrasts characteristics of traditional vs. reflexive (sociotechnical) engineers(Table 1), ultimately arguing that reflexive engineers are better equipped to addresssociotechnical challenges because they integrate broader social concerns into their work andactively value the community and environment they work with integrated with theirtechnological contributions. As our ultimate research goal is to enable engineering service-learning students to practice reflexivity about the value of diverse perspectives, Robbins’ [6]description of reflexive engineers has informed our methods
