challenging dominant narratives and fostering inclusive and equitablepractices. By engaging in self-reflection and critical dialogue, engineers can better recognize thesocial implications of their work, identify potential sources of bias or discrimination, and strivetowards more ethical and socially responsible solutions. Critical reflexivity, thus, encouragescollaboration and interdisciplinary engagement, inviting engineering students to consider diverseperspectives and alternative approaches to problem-solving.Pilot Study The initial step in this pilot study entailed selecting a tissue mechanics course that is partof an undergraduate biomedical engineering program. The course consisted of a ‘lecture-driven’,traditional teaching environment

Step 2 of the processoutlined training of research protocols, necessary to steps to facilitate ethical and scientificallysound education research. Steps 1 and 2 provide the foundation and preparation for Step 3:Research Initiation of the pilot project. The pilot research project would start to understand theproblem outlined in the introduction. Finally, by Step 4, the initiated research would become acatalyst for additional topics of engineering education research that examines fundamentalresearch questions related to broadening participation in graduate engineering programs

They are challenging to frame and scope, giventhe lack of an obvious “stopping point” when the problem to solution process is complete.Wicked problems reflect pressing societal issues like climate change, transportation and urbandevelopment, healthcare and technological unemployment – problems that frequently engage thetechnical expertise of engineers but require a breadth of disciplinary knowledge outside ofengineering as well, requiring strong collaborative skills and an intellectual

The comparison group of non-UREstudents in our survey was not based on a true, experimental research design of randomassignment to groups for obvious ethical and legal reasons. But it does provide a usefulcomparison (albeit with limitations). First, we looked for patterns in the data that would providesome insight into three hypothesized claims (see below) for our YES program. We thencompared our findings with five studies, two of which are described here: a study of 76 risingseniors in eight science disciplines at four liberal arts schools by Seymour et al.1 and a study of1,135 students (primarily in engineering and the sciences) surveyed at 41

data. One important use of this data can be to form part of a feedback loopfocused on learning-outcomes assessment and improvement of teaching, courses, andcurriculum. This use of self-assessment data can be used to demonstrate program evaluation,advising, and monitoring of students (ABET 2000 Criterion 1).Another interesting issue regarding self-assessment of knowledge is related to professionalpractice. Practicing engineers often have to make judgements regarding their knowledge orability to perform various engineering tasks. These judgements have importance in both legaland ethical issues during professional practice. Thus, there is value in teaching engineeringstudents about their ability to correctly self-judge knowledge. By regularly
