need to learn this so that this won't happen.” -Senior, Mechanical EngineeringAnother form of tacit knowledge for undone ethics is that because ethics involves a personal setof values, it can’t be taught but instead is something each person carries. As each person has theirown set of ethics, engineering ethics is difficult to transfer due to the nuances of each person’sethical values. Thus, ethics is unteachable because you either have it or you don’t: A lot of the ways that ethics get involved in that class aren't really with a traditional way. It's more you realize that it's an ethics sort of thing. There isn't a lesson plan where they're like, ‘Oh, this is an example of ethics’. It's more they explain, like, an

The findings also indicate that the elimination ofengineering circuits hinders students comfort with sensing technologies. Laboratory courses do provide 16a useful pathway to foster computational thinking and introduce sensing technologies to overcome theelimination of basic engineering electives in modern civil engineering program.

These results support the importance of incorporating an objectiveassessment tool that reinforces DfAM considerations during DfAM lectures.
