(EOP) has designed a framework of student outcomes (Framework)intended to be a tool for transforming engineering education to one that enables engineers toprovide engineering “solutions while minimizing potential negative environmentalconsequences.” The Framework outlines nine outcome categories, including systems thinking,environmental literacy, social responsibility, responsible business and economy, environmentalimpact measurement, materials choice, design, critical thinking, and communication andteamwork. This Framework also includes learning outcomes that enable assessment of students'ability to design and formulate solutions while minimizing negative environmental and socialconsequences. Aspects of this broad Framework can be applied

It is also effective method for engagingthe students early in the class, and helping students transition to the class environment. More importantly, itshows that we value safety as a topic, that we value the safety of our students and community. Anotherobservation was that student feedback has been very positive. We frequently receive positive open-endedcomments in our student ratings of teaching effectiveness (SRTEs). Here, students’ comments includestatements that they enjoy the safety moments and find them engaging and valuable. Even when safetymoments were not directly related to class, student interest / engagement was approximately the same. We feel

This allows students to question and critique systemic inequality and its impact on various communities. When students are able to interrogate accepted knowledge in their field of study and evaluate the biases inherent in its formation, validation, and dissemination, they are able to navigate these biases and make socially responsible decisions. In this way, faculty prepare students to be responsible, productive citizens.This definition of CRP and implementation guidelines are being communicated through keychannels within the university such as the faculty senate, deans, department chairs, and

The positive impact of technology on engagement has beenreported in several studies [12] – [14].The primary advantage of an authentic learning environment is that it promotes engagement withthe content to be learned. The result is increased self-efficacy, motivation and persistence.Improved academic performance is a result of this interaction between engagement, self-efficacyand motivation.

Theyare able to safely share personal passions and ideas and more comfortably navigate academicspaces [19]. Through a strong sense of belonging, students see themselves as resources, helpingothers, and making an impact on the community [19].

This commitment to diversifying the STEMworkforce will require deep commitment at all levels.
