Based on these answers, some identified HC as the actions of individual actors (active) or asa byproduct of schooling institutions (passive). As for the deeper understanding of theparticipants’ emotional states surrounding HC, they were asked: Can you think about an exampleof hidden curriculum you experienced in engineering? Briefly explain the situation and theemotions you had in that situation.Data Collection and Analysis The authors previously produced two manuscripts from this larger dataset that hasinformed this study.

Our study confirmedthat the absence of a programming course in the first year was a significant gap in our curriculum.Implementation and OutcomesSeveral options were proposed, including having our students take an introductory programmingcourse from the CS department such as Introduction to Programming (CS 1004) into the RBEcurriculum, working with CS department to have their course (RBE 1004) tailored toward ourgoals for RBE students, creating a new RBE-specific programming course, and finally breakingone of our RBE introductory course namely

The approach improves student performance,enhancing learning outcomes in Computer Architecture and Engineering curriculum.1 IntroductionIn engineering education, there is a significant thrust towards crafting students into capableprofessionals. Pursuing this goal has involved delving into and embracing various pedagogicalapproaches, including differentiated learning [1–6], project-based [7–10], inquiry-based[11–14, 24], and collaborative [15–19]. Each approach imparts a distinctive flavor to theeducational experience, thereby enriching the academic journey for those studyingengineering.Differentiated Learning

These degrees have slightly different learning goals. In order to award allthree degrees, the university needs to assess and assure that the learning goals are achieved.How can this be monitored, and is it even possible? Some previous publications [3, 4] suggestthat it is possible but requires a lot of effort in adapting program goals to course goals andensuring a high standard in the curriculum

engineers and other STEM professionals.However, despite the increasing need, there has been declining interest in pursuingSTEM-related careers [1]. Given the rapid growth of available engineering jobs and the shortageof talent or motivation to fill these roles [2], it is imperative to develop new approaches forincreasing the interest of a broader range of students to fill these roles.One way to enhance participation in engineering is to expand the participation of historicallyunderrepresented populations (e.g., women, Black, Latinx, and Indigenous groups). Anothergroup that is often neglected is rural students. Although over six million students are enrolled inschools serving rural communities, these students are a relatively unexplored group in

Without incorporating the study of these local contexts into engineeringcurricula, even skilled engineers may struggle to solve local challenges effectively.The paper critically engages with various global initiatives that aim to incorporate Indigenousknowledge into engineering education in order to adopt a similar approach to the Indiancontext. One way forward could be to integrate the study of Pramanas - traditional Indianepistemological tools - into the engineering curriculum, thus bridging the gap betweenengineering education and the local Indian context.This study demonstrates how integrating local knowledge systems into engineering
