approaches to engineering education integrate empathyas a core skill and orientation to engineering practice, placing the other people involved in theengineering design process at the center [5]-[6]. This human-centered approach has the potentialto strengthen engineering practices while also offering more welcoming invitations into the fieldfor groups of learners, particularly women, who have historically been underrepresented inengineering courses and careers. Research has found that the dominant view of engineering asprimarily about “working with things” rather than “working with people” leads many youngwomen to the conclusion that engineering is not for them [7]-[9]. These conceptions ofengineering begin to form in elementary and middle school

Mentoringstudents in engineering and science research has long been acknowledged as an effective way toengage undergraduates in engineering majors, and is also an essential component of the doctoraldegrees that represent the gateway to careers in engineering research. This study was guided bythe following questions: 1) What can we identify as best practices in mentoring and supervisingURM students as they conduct engineering research? 2) How is the effectiveness of thesepractices

Engineering Ethics

], few studies portray how engineering undergraduates engage inethical reasoning, particularly as it unfolds and shifts throughout the course of the designprocess. Even fewer have examined ethical reasoning when situated within authentic designcontexts, particularly those in which students must navigate the messy interconnections betweenend-user needs, design constraints, team dynamics, technical problems, and ethical dilemmas. Toprepare engineers capable of grappling with these ethical complexities, engineering educatorsneed a richer understanding of students’ situated, daily ethical decision-making. Drawing on acase study of 13 students in an undergraduate service learning engineering course, this studyapplies reflexive principlism as an
