Hidden pathways represent topics, resources, and opportunities often overlooked or excluded from a traditional learning approach. They can exist between different disciplines or within a single educational path. They typically represent a one-size-fits-all approach that limits the knowledge available to certain groups of students. An engineering curriculum, for example, may…
