Paper ID #33572”You Could Take ’Social’ Out of Engineering and Be Just Fine”: AnExploration of Engineering Students’ Beliefs About the Social Aspects ofEngineering WorkMr. Robert P. Loweth, University of Michigan Robert P. Loweth is a PhD candidate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan. His research explores how engineers engage and include diverse perspectives in their engineer- ing work. His findings have informed the development of tools and pedagogy that support engineering students in investigating and reflecting on the broader societal contexts and impacts of engineering ac

however, WEdoes not imply “writing intensive.” Certified WE courses are not meant to be “writing classes;”instead, writing should be one of several instructional focuses, as required by the new WEinitiative.Since this new initiative is taking effect in Fall 2021, the WE Committee has not established thefinal assessment criteria. The plan is to have each program submit an assessment processregarding the WE related learning outcomes.Literature Review:Writing is an important skill that all engineers should have. Its importance is reflected in ABETaccreditation criterion 3 for student outcomes, “an ability to communicate effectively with arange of audiences.”Wheeler and McDonald [1] stated that writing is a useful tool in engineering if developed

individual’s decision-making in the face of discrete moral or ethical quandaries. Yet,prior scholarship by Joseph Herkert [2] suggests there is a multi-layered set of ethical obligationsthat range for microethics––or individual decisions––to macroethics, which reflect theprofessional society’s values and ethical obligations. Macroethical dilemmas result in the“problem of many hands”, as described by van der Poel and Royakkers [3]. This brings to lightthe notion that individuals or even large organizations are not solely responsible for engineeringprocesses and uncertain outcomes. For it is clear that no individual or discrete organization hascomplete control and authority for the complex socio-technical innovation process from designto implementation

The survey included eight measures which reflect a wide variety ofcomplementary constructs and measurement domains, including both general and engineering-specific measures [26]. The semi-structured interviews are the focus of this paper and thus theinterview protocol will be discussed in more depth in the following section. Results from thisstudy have been previously published and include quantitative analysis of the initial and mid-point surveys, thematic qualitative analysis of the initial interviews, and qualitative analysis of asingle construct, such as moral disengagement [27-32].

students’understanding of the role of ethics and societal impacts (ESI) in engineering. Socializationdescribes the process of learning the skills and values required for membership in a group. Thisresearch paper draws on data from three focus groups that were conducted with a total of 26undergraduate engineering students at three U.S. universities. The students were enrolled inengineering courses with ESI content, and the focus groups included discussion of the specificcourse that was being studied by the research team as a potential exemplar of ESI instruction andof students’ broader exposure to ESI inside and outside the classroom. In all three courses, thestudents were seniors and thus could reflect on their undergraduate experience. The focus groupswere

in this article.Dr. Marie Stettler Kleine’s research on humanitarian and integrated engineering programsinspired her reflection on how different forms of contextualization and the vocabulary used todescribe them signal different ways to best teach engineers. Her graduate training in science andtechnology studies and human-centered design prepared her to see that these forms ofcontextualization are much more nuanced than using particular language, but this varyinglanguage fundamentally changes the engineering pedagogy in practice. She continues tointerrogate why and how engineering educators learn from other disciplines to explicitlyprioritize contextualization.For Dr. Kari Zacharias, this project has been an opportunity to reflect on the

during an event designed to disrupt the educational enterprise [11]. TheCOVID-19 pandemic thus provides an opportunity to investigate dimensions of engineeringculture during a crisis, which can open new avenues for conversations about equity andaccessibility in engineering by identifying which aspects of culture are most and least amenableto change. In other words, disasters can help uncover ‘what really matters’ and potentially offer anew avenue for cultural change.This paper and its larger research project aim to capture student experiences and reflections, intheir own words, in order to understand how dimensions of engineering culture interacted withpractices in engineering education during COVID-19.

education within the U.S.As evidenced by these programs, sociotechnical thinking is gradually emerging as an importanttheme within engineering education. More faculty are seeking to implement these concepts intheir classrooms. In this paper, we therefore seek to share insight from our team’s experienceswith sociotechnical integrations and our perceptions of the impacts of these integrations on ourstudents, including how we can use our experiences for formative classroom purposes.This paper presents the results of a qualitative analysis of faculty reflection logs written by twoinstructors who implemented sociotechnical thinking in their classrooms.

The attendees included 98 STEMfaculty from several universities all interested in the topic of reflective teaching. Many ofthe participants had been trained in evidence-based instructional practices and faculty peerobservation. A survey of participants asked these faculty to reflect on the idea of a T1classification and how it might be framed in the broader conversation about enhancingSTEM teaching. The survey responses were grouped based on change quadrants.

This task is made no less difficult by thenecessity of multidisciplinary teams, diverse stakeholders, and innovative communicationmethods in an increasingly complex world. This vision for a modern engineer is reflected in the2004 and 2005 National Academies publications of “The Engineer of 2020” [1] and “Educatingthe Engineer of 2020” [2]. For historical context, Figure 1 showcases the call for action assummarized in the Grinter Report of 1955 [3] to the call of action as summarized in the Engineerof 2020 reports of 2004 and 2005.

Leveraging these in teaching practices and curriculum promotes a broad andwell-rounded education that inspires and enables a creative and productive life, and that isnecessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context.

popular strategy is to have project-based learning with an emphasis on service.This approach is referred to as service-learning (SL) or community-engaged learning (CEL). Bringle andHatcher [2] describe SL as an educational experience where students participate in and reflect on activitiesthat meet identified community needs and further understand academic concepts and the broader 1context of the overall discipline. CEL provides a way for students to reflect on their experiences andinternalize them. In addition, having that practical experience helps students develop essential skills likecritical thinking and interpersonal communication [3]. Students enter higher education settings every yearto

The diversity of the teacher workforce in the USA,however, does not reflect the diversity of the student population, resulting in most Americanstudents coming from different backgrounds than their teachers [1]. When teachers do notunderstand the different backgrounds of their students, learning can be inhibited. As Delpit [2]explains, “We educators set out to teach, but how can we reach the worlds of others when wedon't even know they exist?” (pg. 14).One way educators can learn more about the cultures of their students is through the use ofethnographic observation methods [3,4]. Through studying the communities and homes of theirstudents, teachers can identify local and familial funds of knowledge that students bring

Students in the course wrote an essay, as arequired assignment, in which they reflected on the links between their co-op work and thecourse, and were asked for permission to use those essays in the professor’s research on thistopic. Analysis of the essays shows that students typically did see connections; in many cases,these were connected to the course content. However, in other cases, students noted that they hadlearned problem-solving skills, time management, or other skills that were not directly connectedto the class content, which were also useful in their co-op assignments and future careers.
