teamwork, ethics, social context, and other broadconsiderations. The need to teach design has traditionally been addressed in Capstone courses.There is a trend to introduce design earlier in the curriculum such as through first-yearintroduction to engineering subjects or through required design “cornerstone” subjects2.A difficulty frequently observed in design projects is that students begin work too late. This hasbeen referred to as “time scallop” -- as deadlines are approached, effort levels rise rapidly andfall back to low levels repeatedly2. A challenge to implementing early design experiences inengineering programs is the readiness of the student population for hands-on design work. Fewstudents have been exposed to manufacturing equipment in

students maylearn about the importance of inclusive design, they are rarely provided with opportunities toapply these concepts in project-based learning or capstone design experiences. This gap ineducation perpetuates the separation of DEI from core engineering ethics, reinforcing theperception that equity and inclusion are secondary concerns.Lack of Dynamic Frameworks for Complex ChallengesCurrent frameworks in engineering ethics often adopt static approaches that do not account forthe dynamic interplay between technical, social, and environmental factors. For example,sustainability frameworks may emphasize resource efficiency and environmental impact withoutconsidering how social inequities influence the distribution of benefits and burdens

The purpose of the workshops is to introduce students todifferent aspects of research.

However, the definition does insist on hands-on activities, so it isdesigned to exclude activities that are purely computer-based.Other works have other implicit definitions of laboratory activities. Some works center the ideaof constructivism in discussing laboratories, and argue that a laboratory activity is one thatprovides rich information for constructing knowledge [11]. Others simply lament the lack ofspecificity in defining laboratory activities [12].Consequently, categorizing laboratory activities or describing universal features of laboratoryactivities is a challenge.

Once this understanding is complete (or sufficient), the student and his or her teammatesare able to embark upon the completion of the design requirements. It is hoped that this technique achieves multiple benefits. First, the techniques will allowthe students to see the framework of a successful design before beginning their ownimplementation. This helps visualize a successful design as a team before they are thrown intothe throes of their senior capstone design project. Second, the techniques remove some of thetedious work that should be covered in
