education of the engineering leaders of the 21st century. Duderstadt provided a roadmap tothe future of engineering practice, research and education. Dr. James Duderstadt's report,published in 2008, was part of the Millennium Project at The University of Michigan. The Duderstadt model mirrors the medical school training model credited with propellingadvancement in medical practice during the last century [7], where the Bachelor of Sciencedegree includes a broad-based curriculum of engineering design, entrepreneurship, businessacumen, project management, technology, ingenuity, and innovation, professionalcommunication, ethics, and social sciences. We anticipated a significant fraction of the proposedLeadership Engineering program graduates to
intervention activity directly addresses our second andfourth goals: teach students to appreciate diversity in engineering and computer science andserve diverse populations in their professional work.Algorithmic Justice LeagueModern technologies continue to implement features that rely on human interfaces, e.g. afingerprint reader or facial recognition to unlock a phone. However, the consideration of diversepersons is often not foregrounded in the development of the underlying technologies that makethese features possible. As a result, diverse populations are not granted equal access to thesetechnologies and may be underserved by them.The purpose of this intervention is to develop student awareness about the ethical considerationsassociated with
students in somatic awareness exercises will enhance their empathicperspective-taking ability and ultimately their skill in ethical reasoning and engineering design”(p. 1769).Two specific design approaches have potential to accommodate the limitations mentioned above.The first approach is participatory design [38]. Participatory design “attempts to actively involvethe people who are being served through the design process to help ensure the designedproduct/services meet their needs” [38]. The goal is to “involve those who will become the usersthroughout the design development process to the extent that this is possible” ([38], p. 14). Thesecond approach is generative design [38]. Generative design approach “empowers everydaypeople to generate and
twenty to fifty percent of entering freshmen, according to Gordon,are undecided about their major, while seventy-five percent change their major at least once priorto matriculating [1]. Faculty mentorship is additionally indispensable as young adults willtransition into professional roles post-graduation, and in numerous cases, particularly in STEMrelated disciplines, ethical principles are necessary to maintain the public’s well-being. In thisregard, Johnson outlines that faculty mentorship in engineering fields is utilized to transmit values,cultural mores, and ethical principles to the engineering profession [4].According to Levinson, a mentorship role can exert a greater influence on student success due tothe relationship it builds between

The revitalization efforts focused around three basic groups or modules of materials. Thefirst is aligning the content and materials to support the university requirements of ethics,academic and personal success, and work habits while in college. The second focus is on helpingstudents develop the social support networks by connecting to faculty, to other students and withthe physical campus itself. The third is providing an

It is often espoused as an essential skill byengineering employers [4] but generally not reified or taught within undergraduate engineeringeducation.Current approaches to fostering adaptability in engineering emphasize experiential learningopportunities such as team-based projects, co-op/internships, and undergraduate research.However, these activities seldom provide formal adaptability training, and whether they nurtureor merely test adaptability is unclear. This project calls for adaptability to be explicitly taughtand assessed, much like other professional skills such as communication and ethics that havebeen added to ABET criteria [5

We included four groups of variables for analysis in light of the conceptual framework for thisstudy and used the general Input-Environment-Outcome framework to assess learning experience andoutcomes in postsecondary education [32, 33]. The focus of interest for the study was self-directedlearning. We included five measures—motivation for learning, time management, self-regulation,persistence, and help-seeking—to serve as the self-directed learning (SDL) indicators as theyrepresent the key characteristics of self-directed learners [10].

. Unfortunately,engineering educators generally find it difficult to foster critical thinking among their students.This work-in-progress paper describes a strategy to inculcate critical thinking ability inengineering graduates. Examples are taken from two core courses in the Materials andManufacturing stream.Several critical thinking models were explored, such as Gibbs’ reflective cycle model, Facione’smodel, Kronholm model, and King and Kitchener’s model. Paul and Elder’s (P-E) model forcritical thinking was found to be more suited for engineering. P-E model provides a good basisfor the way in which engineers think, and is especially suited for CT as it targets issues such ascreativity, design development, and professional and ethical issues.

We use the Code of Ethics for focused discussions aboutcentering inclusivity, equity, climate mitigation and resilience, and social justice in theirengineering work. These activities fall under ABET student outcome 4 (an ability to recognizeethical and professional responsibilities in considering the impact of engineering solutions in aglobal and societal context).2.3 Computational and Data Science for Civil & Environmental EngineeringIn Spring 2021, we adapted a sophomore-level CEE course focused on computational and datascience to include DEI
diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). For the most part, these have not been presentin the education of engineers. As a result, the majority of engineering professors are ill-equippedto engage in discussions of these matters with their students.To address this reality, engineering education must begin to embrace and introduce students tosome of the tenets and course content of the arts, humanities, and social sciences. There areuniversities today that are conducting what is known as a Grand Challenge Scholars Program inwhich students are prepared to achieve competencies in entrepreneurship, systems thinking,ethics, the understanding of different cultures, and the recognition that their engineeringsolutions must serve the purpose of contributing

Contextualization here is ameans to help students identify social injustices that engineers can then help to ameliorate [6].We interpret the results of our content review through our personal experiences as researchersand educators in science and technology studies (STS) and engineering education. We, like manyengineering educators, are wary of overly prescriptive ethics instruction which elides powerdynamics and places too much onus on individual actors [7]. Contextualization as an end is atempting solution; however, we also recognize the risks of illuminating complexity withoutproviding direction [8]. We see
