A 2015 comparison ofpre- and post-program evaluation data found that participation resulted in enhanced confidenceto pursue further education opportunities and careers in science and engineering [5] [6]. A 2020follow-up study affirmed this finding, and additionally documented that participants were betterable to find scholarly resources, design ethical scientific experiments, conduct independentresearch, and analyze data [7

Senior Lecturer, University of WyomingAbstractEducators revisit their teaching philosophy statement (TPS) when applying for new jobs orpromotion and tenure. However, sharing our teaching philosophy with our students could make asignificant difference. This research presents the results of creating a visual model of myteaching philosophy and sharing it with my students. My teaching philosophy informs mystudents that we learn in teams to gain not only technical knowledge but also skills and ethics. Itexpresses to students that my core values are to care, share, and be fair. I care about their life-long learning, as well as achieving fair grades. The visual model also shows the different levelsof engagement and communication; student-to-student and

perceived as “real engineering”, which highlights an historically strong set of beliefs aboutpolitically or socially agnostic technical work coming into conflict with a systems approach [5](see also [11]).Riley et al. [12] point to limitations of service learning education in engineering generally, i.e.,limited student engagement with questions about the social, economic, and political interests metby the service learning framework. Relatedly, while Bielefeldt et al. [13] find that environmentalengineering faculty bring more topics about ethics and societal issues into their courseworkrelative to their peers in such fields as mechanical and civil engineering, they also find thatenvironmental engineering faculty perceive ethics and “broad impacts

A nationallyrepresentative study of engineering instructors and administrators showed that both programchairs and instructors reported their programs and courses gave only slight to moderate emphasison understanding how engineering solutions could be shaped by social, environmental, political,and cultural contexts or considerations, despite acknowledging the importance of such emphases[12]. Relatedly, in a longitudinal study of undergraduate engineering students, Cech [13], [14]found that students’ beliefs in the importance of professional and ethical responsibilities,awareness of the consequences of technology, understanding of how people use machines, andtheir social consciousness all declined over the course of their degree program

According toHassan, an assessment should be “something that affects the students’ learning, confidence inthemselves and their skills,” where “the assessment method can enrich the learning method andthey are coupled together by an appropriate methodology of learning and assessment” [55, p.327].Riley and Lambrinidou’s Canons against CannonsRiley and Lambrinidou explored the addition of six principles to the values and principlescurrently expressed in engineering ethics canon, namely the ethical principles: ● Engineers’ primary goal is to help people in need and to address social problems ● Engineers challenge social injustice ● Engineers practice cultural and epistemic humility

As such, engineering students need comprehensive and effectively designedinformation-seeking instruction.Traditionally, information-seeking behavior instruction is formally delivered in person, followedby in-class activities that give students opportunities to practice their skills. In this setting,instructors, librarians, and teaching assistants can directly observe and guide student behavior,while students can ask questions and receive real-time feedback. These interactions have beenshown to improve learning outcomes by facilitating student engagement [5]. With classes movedonline, educators are left to determine
