.” This canon in itself is ablatant example of how NSPE seeks to propagate business professionalism through ethics,especially considering how overwhelmingly the clients and employers of engineers they areobliged to be faithful agents or trustees of are the state and large corporations. They claim that“experience has demonstrated, beyond any reasonable doubt, that an engineer with a union-minded attitude cannot and does not regard his relations with his employer as that of a faithfulagent or trustee.” The BER offers no support for this claim besides a vague reference to“experience” that falls apart when evidenced by the largely business unionist history ofengineering unions. Even taking their claim on face value, the orientation is not

both community partner and student outcomesIntroductionEngineering service learning or humanitarian engineering in the university setting has only beenaround since the early 2000s [1]. The many potential benefits of efforts by students andinstructors to apply engineering directed at improving the wellbeing of marginalizedcommunities are evident - communities receive valuable contributions while students gainpractical hands-on experiences and apply theoretical knowledge to solve real-world problems.However, as pointed out in [2] [3] [4] without careful facilitation and being mindful of historicalinjustices, patriarchal philosophies, and power dynamics, service learning can unintentionallyperpetuate a dynamic of

As an engineer it is my responsibility to work in the bestinterest of the public, and that simply wouldn’t be possible if 1) I wasn’t able to effectivelyunderstand and work with coworkers of different backgrounds, and 2) If I couldn’t understandcultural values and their differences among the people I am supposed to work for. This ties a lotinto what I need to continue developing, as intercultural competence is not something you justlearn and never forget. The world and all the people in it are continuously changing, so to makesure that I continue to do my best work while keeping everybody’s wants and needs in mind issomething that is going to require me to continue learning, evolving, and seeking out discomfortin

Engineering mentors found these seminarsexposed them to different teaching techniques, including ways to grab student attention, providepositive reinforcement, and be mindful of students’ ownership. They felt that the experienceeffectively improved their ability to deliver a presentation and to engage the audience, as well asgrew their confidence in public speaking. For example, one engineering mentor shared that,“Learning different teaching strategies is definitely beneficial.” Another engineering mentorprovided a specific example, that “I remember I brought up the idea of why don't we just call onstudents? But then I believe one of the other education students reminded me that some

Throughcollaboration and a shared mission to infuse an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) into undergraduateengineering education, KEEN has cultivated this shared mission with more than 55 partnerinstitutions across the United States [15]. Each of these schools are committed to supplementingthe technical skills being taught in the classroom with a mindset that focuses on fosteringcuriosity, connections, and creating value – “the 3 C’s”. The KEEN framework, as shown inTable 1, seeks to describe the beneficial student outcomes that entrepreneurially-minded learningcan bring to engineering undergraduates. Examples of these benefits include the ability torecognize opportunities to create personal, economic and societal
