Although engineering programs work towardhelping their students develop teamwork competencies, teamwork in engineering classrooms hasbeen largely bereft of direct teaching about the communication-rooted components of teamwork(Kedrowicz & Nelson, 2007), tending instead to focus on the process and organizationalelements of teamwork and various levels of assessment, such as peer-assessment and observation(Chowdhry & Murzi, 2019). Intercultural competency in engineering classrooms suffers asimilar fate (Warnick, 2011; Ndubuisi, et al., 2020) and is often discussed in essentialist termswherein intercultural competency is

The students held steadfast to the discussion guidelines, exhibiting respect andconsideration for their fellow students, allowing for a deeper conversation. As the class consistsof senior engineering students, the expectation was that they would be able to identify theengineering failures, but may struggle with the discussion on racial inequities due to a lack ofexposure in previous engineering courses. Surprisingly, the students understood and articulatedthe impact of institutional discrimination on the events leading up to and response to HurricaneKatrina.However, not all of the students reviewed the reading material prior to class.

They serve divergent roles, face separate challenges, and have differentexperiences. Graduate students face obstacles beyond the classroom—in their ability to meetwith advisers, attend conferences, and develop social support from their peers—thatundergraduate students may not face [3]. Even in the classroom graduate students may beexpected to meet different expectations than their undergraduate counterparts.

Similarly, the effectsof social persuasion may be attenuated in a remote setting where the connection betweenstudents and instructor is more difficult to forge; and where it is more difficult to connectstudents with their peers. Lastly, the transition to remote instruction meant a significant portionof the student body were not co-located on the university campus; many remained at home withtheir parents. While this means some have the support of their parents during the academic term,not all home environments are the same, and students who are not on campus have little access toall the supports that have been put in place to help students succeed at university.

In design education, this involves the transitioningof the design educators from grasping the subject matter themselves so that they can elucidate it from thestudents “in new ways, reorganize and partition it, cloth it in activities and emotions, in metaphors andexercises, and in examples and demonstrations” (p. 13).The emphasis in the development of the PCK framework is on transformative comprehension

In general, cMOOCs adopt a connectivist learning approach and focuson knowledge co-creation by leveraging social media and peer interaction, while xMOOCs takea behaviorist learning approach and focus on more traditional interaction with fixed content,centralized discussion forums, and automated or peer-graded evaluation.

With a“right-sized” curriculum, engineering majors have the same degree requirements as their peers inarts and sciences.As a specific example, in 1991 Carnegie Mellon University reduced the freshman course loadfrom five courses per semester to four, and now requires freshmen to take two introductoryelectives before choosing a major.

. Additionally, there is evidence of bias in peer reviews, showing that a female postdoctoral applicant had to be significantly more productive than a male applicant, helping to explain the lower success rate of female scientists in achieving high academic rank. While biases do change, the recent research studies show that gender stereotypes are clearly still at play.  Recent research on marriage and family responsibilities, show that women are at a disadvantage if they have children17,18. In business and industry both women and men identify family responsibilities as a possible barrier to advancement, but women are affected differently than men by this “family penalty.”19,20 Among women and men with
