As a result, there has been a widespread effortto improve environmental sustainability through rapid decarbonization efforts and a shift towardsrenewable energy sources. Thus, there will be considerable demand for future engineers to be aware ofvarious novel emerging technologies to support multiple climate goals. Despite its importance, engineeringstudents are not required to take coursework that introduces them to concepts aligned with

Therefore,understanding the nuances of how discourses around identity formation in engineering arecreated and its differential impacts on marginalized students is crucial for challenging systemicinequities in engineering.Nonetheless, it is important to investigate how discourses around engineering identity areconstructed and informed through new digital forms of socialization since they are becomingmore and more common; thus, influencing younger generations [19].

States of America (USA), engineering programs are under the supervision of anequivalent organization, named the accreditation board for engineering and technology (ABET).To standardize engineering practices and create equivalences across different countries,agreements exist between the different accreditation boards. Due to their proximity, a specificagreement exists between Canada and the USA [4], yet other ones were established with othercountries for the same purpose. Thus, accreditation boards are highly influenced by one anotherand changes on one side can inspire great improvements in the profession worldwide.In 2014, CEAB reviewed its accreditation process to align their requirements to thoseimplemented by ABET by adding a list of 12

inhigher education highlights the critical need for change agents—individuals within academia andoutside of it willing to enact a transformation in STEM education at the curricular, institutional,and national levels. A core piece of ensuring a change in educational systems is the ability of theseagents to exercise their agency (i.e., free will or choice to act). However, the dominant norms inhigher education can limit opportunities for students, faculty members, or higher educationadministrators to enact their agency [3], [4]. A deeper understanding of how agency is defined andused in this context for research and policy changes can provide useful ways of catalyzing changein engineering education.Agency is an emerging theory within engineering

The goal was to teach the standard contentbetter along with embracing current technology, so that students would emerge from the earlymechanics courses as more successful problem solvers. An initial literature search made it clearthat the traditional mechanics courses were not embracing educational research or what has beenlearned about how people learn [7] – [9]. These ideas became central for the new course design.The faculty agreed to the following design principles: 1. Consider the mechanics courses to be one thing. 2.
