willingness of engineering employers to fund professionaldevelopment in recent years and the uncertainty that it presents, and the foreseeableslowdown once infrastructure stimulus are exhausted. This scenario means that costs of PDand staff mobility can be a barrier to engineering graduates pursuing support for obtainingChartered-status as individuals. More and more so, graduates are looking to officialqualifications and structured life-long learning journey. Professional master programs thataddress the personal, professional, and educational development needs should fulfil thisdemand driven by the individual engineers rather than corporation they work for1.There are three agreements that aim to address the competency requirements of

Whilestudents may hold and develop many identities (e.g., as college students, young adults,engineering students, athletes, etc.), this double-sided characterization draws attention to the rolethe institution might play in the professional formation of engineers. For instance, a departmentcan identify students as engineering majors, and the students themselves identify as futureengineers more strongly once admitted [67]. But when considering what it means to be aprofessional engineer and do the work of engineering, unless students have other sources of first-hand knowledge (e.g., through a parent who is an engineer, or through an internship), they mustrely on their engineering coursework to show them the way. Students seldom connect

Furthermore, from a community building perspective, it is important tohighlight that most students enrolled in the program to try it for one semester and the majority has decided not toleave, some of them have expressed that will continue engaging with Icarus projects until the time theygraduate, because of the value they find in the program for their identity development as engineers.4.

This program was one segment of a comprehensiveon-going initiative to serve students and educators from underrepresented communities whichalso includes a professional development program for in-service STEM educators. The programfor educators is ongoing and is designed to provide them with the tools and experiences that arenecessary to offer continued support and specific instruction to their students at their localschools. This paper will serve as an investigation of such a program and detail both the deliveryand specific challenges encountered as well as discuss the solutions that were implemented andlessons learned.Keywords: STEM, pre-college, interdisciplinary engineering

Though this canon only addresses theprofessional dimensions of engineering ethics, attention to ethics that emphasize the health andwelfare of others—and the social good more generally—in the personal and social spherespromises to be a fruitful approach to integrating the microethics of the day-to-day with themacroethics associated with institutions and broad social systems [25].Attending to Educational Culture and Not Just Student KnowledgeFinally, we find that if engineering educators desire to change how students develop and practiceethics, attention must be given not only to students’ demonstrated ethical knowledge, but also tothe

We also discuss dominant images acrossthe four schools, showing how some images of engineering are so dominant that students who donot fit within those images must perform what we refer to as reconciling work in order to repairthreats to their engineering identity.An important part of our study has been how do students develop an identity as engineers.

The development of a student’s engineering identity is oftenassessed through self-efficacy theories6, and many researchers assume that if a student has a highself-efficacy for engineering, then they have developed their identity as an engineer.Unfortunately, identity is much more complex than just self-efficacy6.Researchers have also examined background characteristics such as students

Elaborating on these emphases, recent critical editions of the novel published duringits bicentennial have underscored its value as an ethical text to STEM students, educators, andprofessionals alike [1]. Inspired by the novel’s capacity to foster moral imagination amongengineers, I developed an undergraduate engineering course in science, technology, and society(STS) taught in the University of Virginia’s Department of Engineering and Society called“Technology and the Frankenstein Myth.” In the course, students read Frankenstein and reflecttogether on its ethical implications for their work as designers and stewards of the

the threat of the different strains of the Covid-19 virus hasreduced and consequently, a large number of institutions have reverted to in-person modes ofinstruction that prevailed prior to the start of the pandemic (e.g. [2], [3]). The near-totalsuspension of HyFlex instruction has been met with little protest in the academic community,with only a handful of researchers speaking in its favor (e.g. [4]–[6]). In this paper, we align our voices in support of HyFlex learning, arguing that theCovid-19 pandemic taught us the valuable lesson that HyFlex learning options should alwayshave a place in education, as we particularly make a case for our field of design engineeringeducation.
