Professor of Chemical Engineering at Oregon State University. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from UC San Diego and his Ph.D. from UC Berkeley, all in Chemical Engineering. He currently has research activity in areas related engineering education and is interested in integrating technology into effective educational practices and in promoting the use of higher-level cognitive skills in engineering problem solving. His research interests particularly focus on what prevents students from being able to integrate and extend the knowledge developed in specific courses in the core curriculum to the more complex, authentic problems and projects they face as professionals. Dr. Koretsky is one of the founding members of the

Anadaptation of the Delta Design game is used in a sophomore solid mechanics course at StanfordUniversity to open the conversation to inclusive design [7]. As students participated in the gamethey found that final designs are the combination of team members' expertise, views, and values.The Designing Technology for Girls and Women course at the University of California at Berkeleyincorporated questionnaires, interviews, and a design process assignment to capture studentperceptions of how the design process worked [8].

Whileability to reflect on the context of engineering solutions is associated with their success in theprofession [9], training students to do this—and doing so in ways that are well-integrated into therest of a course—is by no means easy. As historian Atushi Akera has pointed out, althoughcurrent ABET criteria would ideally be considered a space for supporting educationalinnovation, these criteria are often just another set of requirements that educators must developstrategies to meet [10]. Indeed, ABET’s shift to focus on students as emerging professionals hasvaluable outcomes [11], but includes many
