Therefore, internationalizing this course has special significance.The effort on this course will serve as the basis for discussion and exploration for internationalizing othercourses. In addition, it is reasonable to assume that engineering schools in different countries have somecommon requirements and expectations for graduating mechanical engineers, and some common practiceto achieve these requirements. There are some common practices in this course, including centering ofthe course around a capstone design project, organization of the students into design teams, and therequirement for team presentation and defense of their design at the end

Thus, themeritocratic ideology in engineering, through hegemonic notions of “merit,” supports the careeradvancement and continued power of White men, while harming minoritized individuals andobstructing their access to opportunities.2.2 Engineering students’ perspectives on meritocracy and engineering meritEngineering students are exposed to the ideology of meritocracy as part of their enculturation asengineers [2], [10]–[12]. For example, research by Seron et al. [11] and Rohde et al. [12]explored how engineering students internalize meritocratic ideologies. Seron et al.

Further, engineering students’ perceived importance of thesocial impacts of engineering (such as “professional/ethical responsibilities” and the“consequences of technology”) were found to decrease from the first to fourth years indicating a“culture of disengagement” in engineering education36.The overall goals of the research are to explore the SR development of engineering studentsthrough college, using qualitative methods.

Whileanecdotal, the author’s experience is that student teams are frequently ineffective because of alack of a unified commitment and collaboration among team members.

Engineering Education Cultural ArtifactsCulture is generally defined as the shared beliefs, values and artifacts of a social group. Inaddition, cultural constructs shape the beliefs and values of individuals within a group [6].Godfrey [7] [8] [9] noted engineering education culture as a distinct entity that is rarely definedin the literature. Nonetheless she cites work describing certain elements of engineering educationculture such as the positivist research paradigm common in engineering and engineeringeducation research; the premise that “propositional technical knowledge, discovered using areductionist research paradigm, is the prime source of professional knowledge necessary forpreparing students for the profession” [10]; teaching methods; the
