In addition, formative evaluations were gatheredon these seminars and additional programming was developed to address their observations.

Statistics and incorporated into theEnvironmental Engineering Body of Knowledge are strongly related to “caring”, and a prioranalysis of the demographics as well as the salaries of environmental engineers support thepresence of a care penalty [2].The care penalty in environmental engineering may be linked to the unpriced benefits ofenvironmental engineering practice. For example, the application of standard accounting (i.e.,“prosperity”) to the capital, design, construction, and operation of a municipal sewage treatmentplant may not fully capture the “planet” aspects of treatment plant effluent being dischargedbetter than required by law. Such a planetary benefit – exceeding the requirements of regulations– would represent an unpriced benefit to

Others worked in construction projects anddeveloped an ethic of caring for workers, not for fear of liability, but empathizing with thosecoming from similar socio-economic backgrounds [6]. We also found that, although withdifficulties, they could use their funds of knowledge to establish a sense of belonging inengineering, which is essential for their retention, successful graduation, and transition into theengineering workforce [5].

The KEEN frameworkbegins with the “three Cs”: Curiosity, Connections, and Creating Value [12]. Each of the three Csis supported by example student behaviors. For instance, Curiosity is demonstrated by “explore acontrarian view of accepted solutions” and Creating Value is demonstrated by “identifyunexpected opportunities to create extraordinary value”. The framework continues from the threeCs to Engineering Thought and Action, Collaboration, Communication, and Character. As withthe three Cs, each concept is supported by example student behaviors. As
