It has been a great way for studentsto gain experience and to receive an introduction to the interaction between the reinforcing steeland the concrete. When the students later take a reinforced concrete design course, they canrelate back to their experience at FERL. Seeing a concrete beam physically fail also highlightsthe professional and ethical responsibility they will bear as designers of structures used by apublic trusting in their technical competence.In addition to the concrete beam, the other FERL activities are integrated both with FERL andinto the academic classroom.

In the process, students uncover important issues like privacy, data integrity,information security, risk, decision making, ethics, regulations, and social disparities in access tocare and outcomes. Students find that exploration of these issues, adds context and meaning totheir training as biomedical engineers.Over the past four years, the course has evolved from a traditional lecture/lab course with timedpaper/exam-based assessments to a project based active learning rich course with open-endedactivities and untimed assessments.

While engineers arenot solely responsible for achieving these goals, they do have much to contribute. To that end,the U.S. National Society of Professional Engineers’ Code of Ethics expects engineers “to adhereto the principles of sustainable development in order to protect the environment for futuregenerations” [3]. In addition, the SDGs overlap with several of the National Academy ofEngineering’s 14 Grand Challenges for Engineering in the 21st century, such as providing accessto clean water and ensuring access to clean energy, but they also go far beyond to address therestoration of ecosystems and women empowerment [4].

For studentveterans in engineering programs, many of their former military experiences prepare them todevelop clear and effective communication skills and teamwork capacity, which are highlyvalued in engineering fields [9] [10]. Based on their prior military experiences, student veteransare also likely to possess a strong work ethic and a keen interest in practical problem-solving.What student veterans bring into the engineering classroom and engineering field is not limitedto demographic diversity or professional dispositions and skillsets.

For example, the updated ABET outcomes used since20191 include the following seven competencies: problem solving, engineering design,communication, teamwork, ethical and professional responsibilities, experimentation andinvestigation, and life-long learning. The interest in engineering competencies may be ultimately driven by the need to producequalified engineers.

A service-learning paradigm that progressed through three stages waspresent, which are initial charity, emerging compassion, and developing social justice. Studentswere asked to reflect upon their projects to see how student awareness of ethics and compassionwas realized after completion of the projects.Two researchers at Wichita State University (WSU) assessed service learning from reflectionsafter completion of projects, inspired by two

Engineering curriculum can produce heightened levels of socialresponsibility and concern about public welfare, but to effectively do so, social issues, diversity,and social responsibility need to be consistently and effectively presented within the engineeringcurriculum.This work is motivated by the Engineering Accreditation Commission’s (EAC) desire to promotethe understanding of professional and ethical responsibility and the understanding of engineeringglobal, economic

Having no policy, at the very least, takes some of the time pressure off and enables me to make sure everything is done well. • Turning labs in late always stresses me out, but during a week full of other exams, it’s nice to know you can turn it in later. • I think policies that reward good work ethic are more effective and fair than policies that punish poor work ethic. Some people aren’t as organized as others or have differing condi- tions, and that should be okay. Of course, if it recurs, it should be addressed nonetheless. For that reason, having no policy is probably the worst, since although no one has

While research suggestsempathy can be developed through human-centered design, students still tend to narrowly scopedesign problems, ignore the heterogeneity of the stakeholders, and focus on only mainstream orvery few individuals with specific need. While engineering education has come to valueempathy, literature suggests that we still have a very limited understanding of its nuances.
