their first day of class. Guided by an upperclassmen lab manager, students worked together in teams of five on a semester-long HealthInequity Design Challenge. Freshmen had a combination of individual and team assignments togain knowledge in both health inequity and the design process. Throughout the semester,students heard lectures from guest speakers and clinicians on a variety of topics relating to healthinequity and/or the design process including: Health Inequity in the Emergency Room, theDesign Process, Empathy in Design, Ethics in Engineering Design, Ensuring Diversity inClinical Trials, Social Justice, and Entrepreneurship. The course also included discussions oncase studies in ethics with faculty mentors and a design project utilizing

humanitarian engineering program at Villanova is presented with anemphasis on lessons learned during the provision of technical support to international non-governmentorganizations. A qualitative review of success and failure is discussed based on program partner feedback,discussions with faculty, students, and communities. Conclusions from this paper raise some importantethical questions about the role of academic institutions when engaging with community partners. Inaddition, program design that employs the ethical engagement framework is described wherein, theimportance of contextual awareness and humility is highlighted. Next steps associated with this paperinclude the need to formally establish research-services with partner organizations

An ability to understand ethical and professional responsibilities and the impact of technical and/orscientific solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts. 6. An ability to functioneffectively on teams that establish goals, plan tasks, meet deadlines, and analyze risk and uncertainty. Theobjective of this project is to develop new and refine available tools for assessing some of the soft skillsthat would fulfill ANSAC requirements.

Infact, stakeholder-focused communications employ two of the three aspects of empathy:perspective taking and empathetic concern [9], [10]. When communications are developed tofocus on the content and delivery needs of the person receiving a message, this change inperspective sets the stage for more ethical communication and stakeholder involvement indecision-making [11].

In so doing, this project aims to provide useful maps of an emergent fieldand also develop new methods for mapping engineering practice.Background and MotivationWithin the United States, engineers are fundamentally tasked with being in service to others. Thefirst canon of the National Society of Professional Engineers Code of Ethics commands thatengineers shall “hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public [5].” However,market demands mostly from for-profit corporations and military contractors, and unique laborpractices, have made engineers shift priorities away from the

Ethnography strives to extract truths based onholistic, sensitive, and richly detailed subjective appraisals of small populations. Ethnography isan active form of research that requires the researcher to respond to variables like the changingmood of the respondent, non-verbal behavioral cues, and sensitivity to ethical constraints. All thewhile, the ethnographer must be aware of their influence on respondents’ behavior and how itmight skew results.

This wouldinclude participation in case studies and ethical standards related to airworthiness. To fill thecurrent gap in experience, airworthiness engineering subject matter experts currently practicingin industry should be used to educate the students and future faculty in this program. Thisworking together approach is expected to enhance the efforts of all involved and optimize theeducational experience of those completing their educations.6 References[1] D.

lamp’s design was also guided by ethical considerationsthat had to be integral to the design and implementation of a device for medical applications in alow-resource environment. First and foremost, the students recognized that reducing the cost ofthe device should not come at the expense of its safety. If the resulting product was not safe, itwould unfairly put those who use them at risk, and compromise the goal to develop technologyfor communities that need better medical resources. Additionally, it was crucial to the designprocess that the team was in constant communication with stakeholders at SPHMMC, whoprovided insight into the hospital’s needs and feedback on the lamp’s design.
