Paper ID #32745How are Engineering Ethics Integrated into High School STEM Education inColorado? (Fundamental)Jake Walker Lewis, Graduate of the University of Colorado Boulder with a bachelor’s degree in environmental engineering and a master’s degree in civil engineering. Was involved with undergraduate research regarding ethics in engineering education, presented work in the form of a poster at the 2018 Zone IV ASEE Conference. Defended and published master’s thesis examining if/how ethics are being introduced in K12 STEM education in November 2019. Co-authored paper entitled ”Educating Civil Engineering Students about

integrated into the units through the use of case studies, articles, anddiscussions. These curriculum units engage students in designing and building models ofneuroprosthetics, artificial neural networks, and sensory substitution devices. Curriculum unitsare available for middle school STEM courses, as well as for high school biology, physics,chemistry, and computer science.“Students were hooked by the combination of science and ethics. Using circuits, Arduinos/sensors, etc. in designing lessons always helped students feel like they were doing pertinent science. And hearing about current research kept them hooked. They knew the lessons were real and important.” ~RET teacher participantHighlight

support from a school administrator, and committed to launch or expand a STEM cluband assist in nominating students to attend STEM summer camps. Five schools provided schoolteams for the 2019-2020 school year. Several additional schools expressed interest prior to thesummer institute, but they chose to delay their participation to a future date. Each participantreceived a $1,200 stipend plus housing and travel costs for the summer institute. Each schoolreceived $3,000 engineering curriculum and materials for supporting up to 50 students in STEMclubs plus an additional $1,500 for flexible spending toward STEM-Club activities (e.g., 3Dprinter, virtual reality headset, etc.). An ethics review board approved our research design, andwe received

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Observing empathy in informal engineering activities with girls ages 7-14 (RTP, Diversity)BackgroundResearch and policy shifts in engineering education have identified socioemotional skills likeempathy as a fundamental and often neglected part of engineering practice [1]-[2]. This workargues that solving complex engineering challenges with societal and ethical implicationsrequires engineers to empathize with clients and colleagues whose perspectives and needs mightdiffer from their own [1]-[4].

sense of competition appeals to many underrepresented populationsin engineering.Engineering discourse is a discursive complex [4] that is made up of several types of engineeringdiscourses – scientific discourse of engineering, the management discourse of engineering, andother possible discourses such as ethics [5]. Engineering discourse includes the collection ofwords, visuals, and narratives through which engineers communicate [6]. The collection ofwords used includes the steps of the engineering design process and terms such as criteria andconstraints for elementary school students. The engineering design process is an example of anengineering design routine that contributes to engineering discourse [7]. It is an explorativeroutine which is

Mentoring relationships may also form inother contexts, such as between undergraduates and K-12 students in K-12 STEM outreachprograms. A survey was administered to university faculty / staff who coordinate K-12 STEMoutreach programs to

to surpass their course grades, particularly for lower-achieving students [17], [19], [20]. For this work, we assessed whether this trend continuedduring the modified Fall 2020 offering (70 students over 3 classes in Quadmester 1, 66 inQuadmester 2 (data not used)). Similar to student grade data analysis, student surveys thatfocused on student learning attitudes and perceptions were administered, and responses werecompared to responses from previous in-person offerings.All data collection involving students was approved by the University of Toronto HealthSciences Research Ethics Board (Protocol # 34825) and the Toronto District School BoardExternal Research Review Committee (Protocol # 2017-2018-20).
