Engineering Ethics Division (ETHICS)

Engineering EducationAnother critical gap lies in the integration of DEI principles into engineering education. Whilemany engineering programs have introduced courses on ethics and social responsibility, thesecourses often prioritize traditional ethical principles over DEI considerations. DEI topics, whenincluded, are frequently presented as standalone modules or elective courses, rather than beingembedded throughout the curriculum. This fragmented approach fails to equip future engineerswith the skills and perspectives needed to address intersectional inequities in their work.Moreover, existing educational resources often lack concrete tools and case studies that illustratehow DEI principles can be applied in engineering practice. For example, while

engineering students experienceindustry recognition across a four-year undergraduate program. The extent to which studentsbelieve other people see them as engineers influences how they see themselves as engineers.Students’ engineering identities can shape how they are motivated, persist, and learn engineering[1]-[3] which has inspired calls for the inclusion of identity development as part of theundergraduate engineering curriculum [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]. Research has shown that howstudents feel recognized by others as the kind of person who can do engineering is the mostimportant element in the development of an engineering identity [9], [10].

due to a gap in skills such as communication and problem-solving [1]. Newlygraduated and employed engineers must be ready to engage in workplace learning as self-directed learners. This preparation must come from engineering learning experiences designed tohelp students transition from instructor-led learning (as is typical of pedagogy) to more self-directed learning (as is typical of adult learning or andragogy) across the curriculum [2].However, there is much fixation on pedagogical approaches and engineering science learning,wherein students work to solve predominately close-ended problems [3].

engineering student. I thought I would be something with visual or performing arts. But, when I was younger, I was a tinkerer. I liked to take things apart and find out how things worked. It didn’t always turn out well, but I still liked it. Now, as a sophomore, I’m in two engineering classes. One is statics, and the other I’m taking is engineering graphics, which is hand and computer drafting. I like the drafting one a little bit better, mainly because I’m learning different programs that are more relevant to engineering businesses. Statics is just a lot of vector analysis, and I am struggling with that. Physics 2 and statics, those two classes are really difficult for me. I suppose it’s a little bit of my mental health, and a

However, this is where many educators start and end the lesson. Limiting students tousing peer-reviewed works from academic databases is no longer sufficient. In the Digital Age, itis increasingly important that students also learn how to navigate the web in their research.STEM students are required to pull information from a wide variety of sources [1], and, as such,should be equipped with the latest source evaluation techniques to combat the misinformationand bias they will undoubtedly encounter online.

Factorsrelated to the retention or attrition of underrepresented groups include curriculum overload, lossof interest, poor teaching, study skills, and a lack of role models (Seymour & Hewitt, 2000).Quantitative research helps position the educational context as a high leverage player for betteror worse in responding to the diversity problem of the profession.The diversity context might then relate underrepresentation issues to the human scale and notethe sorts of marginalizing experiences

Instances of bias are not always clear cut; rather, they can be ambiguous, messy, andoften invisible to dominant group members, which is what we strived to emulate in our casestudy. This theme of resistance to diversity among engineering students shows us the importanceof embedding diversity and inclusion topics throughout engineering curriculum as we realize thata single class period is not enough to promote allyship and improve culture.Differences between engineering and anthropology classWe noticed many differences between the responses from the anthropology
