Activities and timeline for critical-narrative interventionProject-Group Discussion AssignmentBoth the study and comparison groups were required to complete the project-group discussionassignment near the end of the semester. Because the primary objective of this research effort isto gain insights on the impact of critical narratives on students’ abilities to identify the broaderimpacts of engineering work and transfer these abilities to their own senior/capstone designprojects, researchers designed the group-discussion exercise to be focused on each groups’senior/capstone design project.The project-group discussion (PGD) was organized in an identical manner to the

when faced with challenging coursework orproject obstacles and having the opportunity to fail and try again (i.e. a mastery-based learningpedagogy). As one first-year student succinctly described, simply “getting bad grades back andbeing able to resubmit for more points” was impactful. For larger projects multiple studentsreported something akin to the following (also from the senior level capstone course): “There was a lot of resilience required in continuing the project to completion. We ran into a lot of obstacles where we could have taken a short cut, but we persevered through to turn in the best possible project we could.” - 4th Year Student.Tables 6: Top 2-3 course experiences related to each intellectual virtue

preparation for capstone experiences, like internships and senior-design projects. The shift toward explicit training in ethics, sometimes referred to as “ethics andresponsible conduct” (ERC) training, has been driven by a range of factors including high-profileethical transgressions, increased public scrutiny, mandates from funding agencies, and newaccreditation standards.The landscape of disciplinary ethics frameworks, or the value content and structured experiencesthat shape professional development and disciplinary enculturation, reaches wide across thecurriculum and deep into the discipline [10], [11], [12]. This landscape might includeframeworks ranging from accrediting bodies and institutional compliance structures to state and

macro perspectives, providing faculty development that includes training in both STS and practical ethics; and revision of curriculum materials, including online resources.”16Putting primary focus on micro-ethics in the piloted engineering ethics course provides studentswith the self-awareness of their values and skills to be able to voice those values during theirsenior capstone experience two years later. It also gives students the foundation for weavingethics considerations into the deep dive of researching and writing their undergraduate theses.Course OverviewEngineering ethics courses share a common provocation: When confronted with an ethicallychallenging situation, how can engineers identify the choices and options that will
