education. Byexploring local environmental justice issues and emphasizing the necessity of integrating theseissues into the curriculum, we can prepare the next generation of engineers to address real-worldchallenges and engage in equitable problem-solving. Given the profound implications ofengineering solutions on both environmental sustainability and societal well-being, EJE stands asa pivotal bridge between educators and students, fostering meaningful connections by exploringlocal environmental justice issues. Many educators struggle to effectively incorporate environmental justice topics intoengineering education [1], [2]. K–16 education discourses and curricula frequently overlookenvironmental justice issues, neglecting to highlight the

). This lack of achieving a full 10-minute interview is aninteresting observation, and could indicate potential factors like lack of skills and confidence forthe novice in conducting the interview or disconnect from the practice scenario to engage in ameaningful interview. This is a topic that will be considered in the future research. Additionally,10 minutes is a very limited time to demonstrate the full range of interviewing skills taughtduring the training. It also reduces the amount of opportunities for mistakes, which mayinaccurately represent the readiness of the student to conduct longer interviews. The shortness ofthe interviews also impacts the NVivo coverage calculations of the codes. If the entire interviewis very short, each sentence

This represents a shift in the traditional method thatacademics use for research and publishing but a necessary one to increase diversity, equity,inclusion, and justice in STEM. By not restricting access to work behind journal paywalls orconference fees, communities with limited resources can still benefit from them.

This seemed to change their receptiveness. The author apparently didn’t realizehe hadn’t engaged in as much discussion about the cartoons with the Sophomores as he hadwhen teaching the Juniors the previous semester. Also, the students being fully aware that thecartoons were actively being made (and just for them) created a more interactive experience.There was also a difference in the attitude of these particular grouping of students, where theJuniors were much more receptive to whimsical content than the Sophomores.Measuring

Although manyinstitutions collect student feedback, the pedagogical value of this practice depends on instructors’engagement with the responses [3, 4]. By listening to student feedback, instructors can tailortheir courses to students’ needs, fostering a dynamic and adaptable learning environment. Thetiming and structure of the feedback collection also influence its impact. Mid-semester feedback,for example, allows instructors to adjust courses in real-time, which benefits current and futurestudents [5

Lavelle andKeltie describe an intervention for engineering students in a calculus class [19]. At-risk studentswere identified based on their performance in the first written exam and then invited to meettwice with an academic advisor.

Fromthis work, various online courses had their instructors create videos for students to watch.
