justice, it isimportant to analyze how pervasive dominant discourses and the Discourse in engineering maycollide with these efforts.MethodsAs one of our program’s goals is to train engineering students to have a critical awareness oftheir personal attitudes, behaviors, and values, we conducted an in-class activity using “valuecards” for students to reflect on their personal values. Our goal is to help students think early anddeeply about how the ways they may want to live as a person may differ from how they areleading their lives as engineers. In this paper, we discuss 71 individual student responsescollected from this activity during the Spring and Fall 2019 semesters. Each student wasprovided a deck of 83 cards with values on them [29].

meaningful way does not necessarily need to addconsiderably to the instructor’s workload, the time for the students to complete, nor the instructorto assess. Incorporating a realistic scenario to the problem statement and modifying the typicaldelivery method from a set of calculations with a boxed numeric answer to a format mode thatengineers will employ in the workplace can be easily accomplished.References[1] J.

Prior to completing the survey, students had access todetailed information about each project, and could attend sponsor presentations. Usinginformation from the survey, the course coordinator has the task of balancing the factors ofstudent skillsets, desired projects, team compatibility, and scheduling to create the teams.In January 2019, teams were formed by the course coordinator using this traditional faculty-formed method.

demands (assignment, projects, internships, etc.), and the social pressures of engaging withpeers, and faculty. The microcosm of the college campus can be challenging for students, where some areleaving the familiarity of home and family to join spaces where they can be isolated. Prior researchsuggests that being socially connected can help to alleviate stress (Achat et al., 1998). Research alsoshows that minoritized student populations experience more barriers to persistence in STEM highereducation compared to white students and certain Asian populations due to the added stress of racismfaced by these populations (Harper, 2010; Pawley, 2019). Racial stress can manifest due to phenomenalike isolation, stereotype threat and microaggressions at
making connections and helping students and faculty” [8, p. 150]. In 2019,Corrall and Jolly describe this shift as “the social turn in library innovation”, where librariansfocus more on “community-oriented service models” rather than strictly collections [9, p. 122].In this community-oriented approach, librarians take a holistic view of the student experienceand aim to support students beyond the classroom [9]. In 2020, the Association of College andResearch Libraries (ACRL) identified “supporting well-being on campuses” as one of the toptrends in academic libraries [9, p.4], [10]. And while the end goal may be the same - to helpstudents find and access information [6] - librarians are increasingly doing so by supporting non-academic campus

diverse student audience. Specifically, we have beenbuilding a game-based learning module focused on experiencing the field testing technique cone-penetration testing (CPT). As part of the module, students start a virtual internship at a fictionalengineering company. After being briefed through a lecture on CPT, they enter a 3D (game)environment where they conduct CPTs. Students analyze CPT data extracted from theenvironment and submit a report. To assess student experience of this module, we collectedpre/post surveys, game data (including in-game assessments), and student/faculty interviews. Inthis paper, we report the findings of implementing this CPT module in the initial three years ofthe project (2016-2019) at five institutions. Overall, we
