students to engineering in order to increase their curiosity andlikelihood of choosing a STEM degree in the future. This STEM workshop was devoted tobuilding curiosity among the students and increasing their likelihood to seek a future in theSTEM field. This workshop proposed many challenges given the virtual environment. Thestudents who attended the conference were a group of high school students from FranklinMilitary Academy in Richmond, VA. Due to the COVID-19 restrictions put in place, theworkshop was held completely virtually through Google Classroom.This workshop was a conglomerate of ethics, diversity, and STEM discussions led by theDepartment of Civil and Mechanical Engineering as well as the Department of Social Sciences atthe United
can lead to lasting, socially just change ineducational access and economic outcomes for historically marginalized communities. This workinvolves praxis—confronting oppression and injustice through learning, action, and repeatedreflection on the ways actions reverberate into society [11]. Anti-oppressive practices stem fromself-reflexivity and introspection that aims to align actions with the values and ethics of thework.Community engaged work enlists those who are most affected by a community issue. This canbe in collaboration or partnership with others who have particular skills or resources with thegoal of devising strategies to resolve it. Community engaged work adds to or replacesprogramming done on community members with programs done
community, (iii) to promote STEM to under-served communities close to SCU. In additionto the ELSJ learning objectives, this course was designed with the hope that students would also:• Develop educational materials and hands-on STEM activities as a service to the community• Develop project/time management, organizational, and leadership skills.• Develop effective listening/collaboration skills while working with community partners.• Recognize and understand ethical responsibilities of engineers.In the lecture component of the class, students are introduced to concepts that can help themwhen performing their outreach. Specifically, there is a nine-lecture sequence where thefollowing material is discussed:Lecture 1: Introductions, Course
) instrument was an exception in that it employed qualitative methods offocus groups and interviews with engineering students and faculty as part of its development.This instrument was designed to measure the curricular and co-curricular events and experiencesthat would affect the ethical development of undergraduate engineering students [18].Instruments that have been developed in engineering to measure non-cognitive skills have mostlyused the traditional development process of reviewing the literature on existing instruments toguide their own scale development. Here, the conceptual domain is developed through literaturereviews, expert consultation, peer review, and conversations with target groups [19]. These arewell-established and validated
