Much of these efforts havelimited success and can often be overwhelmed by changes in the student body attending theuniversity, changes in faculty teaching key engineering courses, and changes in seeminglyinsignificant aspects such as classroom scheduling. In many cases, modest changes impact therate of progress through particular classes and the overall program.In this work, it is

As part of this review, the electrical and computerengineering and engineering technology education communities reported their needs for knowledge and skills in the application ofstandards to engineering and engineering technology design and development in a survey conducted by the IEEE joint StandardsAssociation and Educational Activities Board’s Standards in Education Task Force in the late spring of 2004. The results of thatsurvey motivated development of on-line learning modules to provide a foundation to the use of standards in design and developmentby students and their faculty mentors in electrical and computer engineering and engineering technology.

While the influence of language on educationalexperiences has been the subject of several scholarly papers, no research have looked explicitlyat language use patterns in the field of engineering education or the possible negative effects ofbiased language.In light of this, the present study integrates two conceptual frameworks: implicit bias theory andacademic literacy theory. This approach allows for a detailed investigation into biased languageuse trends within engineering education research, as well as an understanding of how thesetrends diverge from the field’s goals of diversity and inclusion. Implicit bias theory examinesunconscious attitudes and stereotypes that subtly but significantly influence language use

Inother words, previous studies have often described what students learned about their usersthrough their interactions, but not how students learned this new information.Other research, focusing on situations where students did not interact with users, indicates whyuser interactions in and of themselves may be beneficial for student design outcomes. In lieu ofcollecting data from users, student designers may instead extract generalized information aboutusers from third-party research or rely on their own personal perspectives and
