Over the last 10 years, thisengagement had gradually become an integral part of the engineering curriculum.Many universities around the country hosted math competitions for their local schools, typicallyby their math departments. Many institutions limited their involvement in offering the facilityonly and not much beyond that. The math competitions hosted by our institution were organizedby the College of Engineering. In addition to offering the facility, we were actively involved inrunning the competitions with our engineering students serving as

Pursue an engineering project from conceptual design to physical completion, implementing comprehensive project management skills in a team setting. 3. Collaborate effectively with external stakeholders (i.e., partnering NGOs, local municipalities, partnering communities, alumni, other EIA university programs, or sister academic institutions abroad). 4. Integrate traditional knowledge and stakeholder perspectives to create engineering designs that are sustainable, community-driven, and that ultimately empower long-term development. 5. Understand the importance

Core Curriculum cultivates social justice, civic life, perspective, andcivic engagement. It involves community-based learning with a social justice emphasis. Studentsare required to (i) engage in 16 hours of community-based learning experiences and (ii) performcritical reflection and evaluation of their experiences. A primary goal of the ELSJ requirement is“to foster a disciplined sensibility toward power and privilege, an understanding of the causes ofhuman suffering, and a sense of personal and civic responsibility for cultural change.”The specific learning objectives of an ELSJ class are as follows:• Recognize the benefits of life-long responsible citizenship and civic engagement in personal and professional activities (Civic Life

thedevelopment of the projects. The second program is the IDEAS Learning Community thatengages about 25 first-year students yearly in a one-semester partnership with an outreachprogram from Indianapolis, Indiana which is about an hour from campus. The central classcombines career exploration and integration into the university with discussions and experiencesaround diversity. The engagement with the outreach program provides a context and activitiesthat enhance the learning goals and provides experiences to bring the class together. Thedeliverables are activities for K12 students both at the outreach center and for an annual visit tocampus.EPICS ResultsEPICS is large and complex, with many stakeholders.

EPICS allows students to take the course multiple semesters so somestudents are returning to their project and others are new to the team or to EPICS. The firstmeeting includes integrating the new students onto the project. Each division has a differentenrollment and different number of projects. A task for each team was to develop a schedulewhen students could physically be in the meeting room with the limited the meeting roomcapacities. The schedule was left to the individual instructors working with their team leaders.Some teams started with an overall meeting with some joining

education research community in the U.S. has specified the nature of instructionalstrategies in retaining students in STEM-related courses, with a focus on an integrated STEMcurriculum designed to improve non-cognitive factors, such as interest, while developingpositive attitudes towards STEM [5][6][7]. Interests and attitudes in science develop early in astudent’s life, and it is important to develop these attitudes as they are motivators towardspursuing STEM fields and careers [8] [9]. More recently, the National Academies of Sciences,Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) 2017 report on supporting student’s college success hashighlighted the importance of intrapersonal and interpersonal competencies and the evolvingneed for labor market recruits to

everyone, even though everything in the society pressures you into sameness – it is a handicap in the end. A handicap to live without knowing the struggle of difference – in all of its pain, its fear, its celebration, its compassion [2].”AbstractThis is an archival record of a proposed panel discussion for the 2021 ASEE Annual Conferenceand Exposition. It reflects a year-long conversation between the six co-authors. Panel attendeeswill be invited to join and expand upon that conversation. Further analyses and integration areplanned after the conference when we will have the benefit of other panel attendees’ commentsand their own narratives.Under ideal circumstances, engineering cultures in academia and industry bring out the best

).Campbell and Wilson [27]– agreeing with Lucena et al.’s [28] concept of humanitarianengineering as “an important dimension of engineering practice that deserves clearer ethicalarticulation and curriculum development” ([27, p.4], citing [28]) – discuss how humanitarianengineering is accentuated by particularly exercising engineering ethics, and how “care”maps onto humanitarian engineering. They even call it “Humanitarian Engineering as aMatrix of Care and Ethics” [27, p.5].We think that Human-Centred Designing is indeed a form of Prosocial Behaviour and that itis directly linked to exercising engineering ethics, and so, would therefore like to explicitlyaddress the link(s) between personal values and ethical practice and judgement in thefollowing
