They provide access to the knowledge required to find andconnect to engineering degree programs, and help students develop the technical skills andassociated artefacts of them that demonstrate their academic and practical abilities. For example,outreach programs may help students develop an online portfolio of engineering projects theyhave completed, to evidence their potential

Before Results: Diverse Perspectives and DefinitionsThe initial findings before the teaching method were used reveal a rich tapestry of perspectiveson sustainability. Participants articulated sustainability as a multifaceted concept, encompassingthe ability to fulfill needs consistently, maintaining stability, and innovating without harm to theenvironment. Participants acknowledged the importance of conserving the environment, meetingpresent needs without sacrificing the future, and saving the environment for future generations.However, uncertainty was evident in responses marked by phrases like "I don't know," reflectingthe complexity of the concept. 1.1.2.

AI gives universities the advantage of increased efficiency, allowingthem to focus their limited resources on other critical tasks like selecting students for financialaid and scholarships [5]. Therefore, it is essential to innovate AI systems that assist in theadmissions process while still minimizing the possibility of biased outcomes.The rapid development of the technology industry led to an increased number of graduate degreeholders yet the diversity among these graduates has not shown comparable growth. For instance,the male-to-female ratio among master's graduates has remained nearly constant in the

The qualitative analysis of the results shows thatstudents who participated in LMP derived significant benefits, not only towards the enhancementof their STEM identity, but also through better academic achievements and stronger sense ofcommunity and belonging.IntroductionAn innovative Layered Mentorship Program (LMP) was designed and implemented in theCollege of Engineering at University of Colorado Denver.

not for engineers. Engineers should stick to just the technical piece. … I think it's a risk honestly, because as much as we talk about changing our tenure and promotion criteria and including things like innovation, community engaged research, or things that may not be as traditional… it's very difficult to change minds. And even when someone says, ‘Yeah, you know, we should include those things,’ the tenure and promotion [process] is very subjective, no matter what. And I do believe things have improved but I don't think they've improved to the point where I would advise an early career faculty member whose portfolio is primarily community engaged research. I would be nervous for that faculty member. To be honest, I’d

dissonance between EDI.I ‘goals’ espoused by our universityand its actions on actual issues of equity, such as the university’s response to grad studentsunionizing, or to the community’s divestment demands. Looking back, I realize that my approachto EDI.I was an oversimplification and an example of applying colonial practices to‘decolonization’, or using the master’s tools to dismantle the master’s house, which, as AudreLorde has written [32], will never happen.What I did find from my master’s research was a tendency for well-meaning engineeringinstructors to justify their ‘EDI.I content’ with assumptions of profit and performance aspriorities.

These examples highlight the important role of epistemic cognition in students’ learningand success, development of critical thinking skills, and transition to real-world engineeringpractice. Consequently, educators should consider students’ evolving epistemic cognition andwork to integrate pedagogical strategies, evaluation practices, support systems, and curricularmaterials to support its development.Given the parallels between epistemic cognition and engineering judgment, we argue thatepistemic

Despite its importance, leadership remains achallenging competency for students to develop, and engineering educators to teach.
