However, as the President’sCouncil of Advisors on Science and Technology reported, the United States’ ability to addressengineering challenges in the future parallels the country’s ability to produce enough engineerswith the capabilities necessary to solve those challenges [4]–[6]. Noting the importance that NDMhave in meeting grand challenges, it is thus worth exploring the role of engineering education inproducing engineers with the necessary capability to use and build upon NDM knowledge oftheory and practice.2.

An important topicwithin engineering is ethics, including macroethical issues such as the environmental and societalimpacts of engineering and technology. This research therefore examined if and how engineeringethics are being implemented in high school STEM education, seeking to understand teacherpractices and perspectives. While exploring these perspectives, an emergent goal of the researchbecame to determine whether teacher’s beliefs about their incorporation of ethics in their STEM-based courses matched the evidence they provided. This qualitative research was conducted byinterviewing 14 high school STEM teachers in

Curricula to Engender Inclusive Professional Identities in StudentsIntroductionTo identify and solve the wicked problems [1] our society faces, science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) enterprises need a heterogeneous constellation ofperspectives, mindsets, and expertise. Diverse teams are appealing because of their documentedcapacity to outperform groups selected based only on ability when facing difficult challenges [2].However, organizational theorists note that equipping people with the skills necessary to worktogether productively on teams composed of diverse members remains a challenge [3].Additionally, the culture of engineering and computer science, in particular, is oftenunwelcoming toward those with
