Unmasking Whiteness in Engineering
As a predominantly white and male discipline, engineering is influenced by dominant discourses created by Whiteness. Whiteness in engineering transcends demographics; it influences norms, values, and practices, and it works as a mechanism that perpetuates biases and historical privileges that favor white individuals, affecting access, opportunities, and representation. Terms like meritocracy, objectivity, and masculinity are often used in enginee…
AI , ESG , and Energy Transition in Emerging Markets
As the global energy system shifts from fossil fuels to renewable sources, AI has become a crucial component of this transformation. This study explores the influence of AI on the energy transition (ET) in emerging markets from 1993 to 2019, focusing on the role of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. The results are summarized as follows. First, AI accelerates ET, and this finding remains consistent after robustness checks an…
Shifting Students’ Perceptions About Homelessness
Although engineering institutional bodies uphold public welfare and the impact of engineering on people and society, engineering curricula rarely scaffold students to connect their technical learning with sociotechnical perspectives. This paper describes a project-based learning approach where engineering students engaged with issues faced by people experiencing homelessness to better understand the sociotechnical nature of effective, user-center…
Compassionate Flexibility and Self-Discipline
The global pandemic of COVID-19 brought about the transition to Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) at higher education institutions across the United States, prompting both students and the faculty to rapidly adjust to a different modality of teaching and learning. Other crises have induced disruptions to academic continuity (e.g., earthquakes, hurricanes), but not to the same extent as COVID-19, which has affected universities on a global scale. In…
An Improved Measure of Cognitive Salience in Free Listing Tasks
A new free-list measure of cognitive salience, B′, is presented, which includes both list position and list frequency. It surpasses other extant measures by being normed to vary between a maximum of 1 and a minimum of 0, thereby making it useful for comparisons irrespective of list length or number of respondents. An illustration of its properties, uses, and computation is provided with the aid of examples drawn from free lists of foods elicited …

Neighborhood-Based Differences in Physical Activity
Objectives. This study evaluated a neighborhood environment survey and compared the physical activity and weight status of the residents in 2 neighborhoods. Methods. On 2 occasions, 107 adults from neighborhoods with differing “walkability” were selected to complete a survey on their neighborhood environment. Physical activity was assessed by self-report and by accelerometer; height and weight were assessed by self-report. Results. Neighborhood e…
