Let me suggest that the reader consider the following scenario that I hopewill be helpful for the reader to better understand the concept of dominant images. Let usimagine a scenario in which a Chinese engineering professor meets an American colleague on aflight. If the Chinese professor is interested in learning more about American engineeringeducation and ask the American professor to summarize some major defining characteristics ofAmerican engineering education, it is probably not surprising to imagine that the Americanprofessor will talk about concepts such as student-centered, project

inclusion and train students to create inclusive teams. Optimaldistinctiveness theory (ODT) is the psychological theory that we initially deemed useful forunderstanding belonging and inclusion in groups [1], [2]. ODT posits that people feel satisfiedwhen the groups they identify with fulfill both their need for inclusion and their need fordifferentiation [1], [3].Based on faculty experiences supervising team projects, we hypothesized that some students whoare marginalized on the basis of race, gender, or other forms of identity often have unbalancedneed fulfilment due to excessive distinctiveness and minimal similarity [4], [5]. This situationthwarts their need for inclusion, and triggers the unpleasant feeling of not belonging [6]–[9

Students typically acquire this skill byadolescence for objects they are familiar with [24]. He cautions, however, that if the object is notfamiliar, students may have difficulty in visualizing the object even while in college. Piagetclassified projection skills as the third stage, where students can visualize different measurementsand combine them such as distance, rotation, volume, translation, and reflection [24].Theoretical PerspectiveThis study evaluates the literature through the lens of a social

Even during seniordesign projects in their senior year, it was still found that some students had some difficulty indrawing the S/B diagrams. The method of sections [1,2] can be used to determine fully the shear force and bending momentat any cross-section of beams and to draw the S/B diagrams. When there are several externalforces on a beam, the beam must be divided into several segments. The method of sections willbe used repeatedly in each segment. Since it is tedious and time-consuming to use this method,the graphical approach for drawing S/B diagrams is introduced
