may argue that in engineering, perhaps the same principles are discussed using differentterminology, for example, engineering ethics. It is true that most engineering programs have somecoverage of engineering ethics either as a stand-alone course or as content that is integrated withdesign projects and design activities in design-focused courses. This is a fair argument that needsto be explored further.Design Justice principles and a code of ethics are both frameworks for guiding designpractice, but they have some key differences. A code of ethics is a set of principles orguidelines that outline what is considered ethical behavior within a specific profession. Inthe field of design, a code of ethics may outline how designers should conduct

other factors. Workers hired after thenew scheme was implemented were on average 28% more productive than the ones hired in theold regime.Experimentation is an effort that requires collaboration among Science, Product, andEngineering teams which means it is typically multi-disciplinary in nature. Experiments typicallyhave three phases: the pre-experiment planning, the implementation and monitoring, and thepost-experiment analysis. During the pre-experiment planning, Science, Product, andEngineering work together to translate the business problem at hand into testable hypothesis,make ethical and legal considerations and submit the research proposal for review if applicable,define the details of the intervention, design the randomization, define

: The Effect of Summarizing a Research Article on Students’ Area of Robotics Interest1 BackgroundThe need for capable, ethical robotics engineers is growing with the industry valued at 32.32billion in 2021 with anticipated growth of 12.1% from 2022 to 2030 [1], and projected 17,900mechanical engineering job openings each year [2]. It is imperative that undergraduate andgraduate programs prepare engineers for industry positions in robotics, and that they includeand encourage diverse groups of students to enter the field.Additionally, diversity among engineers in general is limited, starting with bachelor’s andbeing further exacerbated when entering engineering professions. For example, 22% of engi-neering bachelor degrees in

Industrial AdvisoryBoard, faculty, and industry representatives, in the projects.IntroductionA capstone design course is a major part of an engineering program. Students in the last year oftheir bachelor studies perform a team-based design project to show their ability to apply theknowledge obtained earlier to an engineering problem. This is important as students will facesimilar projects when they start working in the industry after graduation. In capstone experience,students are required to use engineering codes and standards and consider other constraints,including economic, environmental, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, sustainability,and social and political thoughts in a problem. According to ABET, the capstone course is

career roles. This concern makes job shadowing an ideal experiential learning program becauseit gives those a shadowing experience while not requiring the shadow participants to have theexpertise needed to perform tasks.A pertinent observation found in medical shadowing programs is that there are ethical concernswhen shadowing physicians during patient interactions [8] [9]. Namely, programs must considerensuring that participants follow confidentiality expectations. This concern can be handled byhaving students sign confidentiality agreements and complete HIPAA training. However, there arestill concerns that even if patients give informed consent to the student's presence, it may affect thehonesty of the interaction. Therefore, the potential

Computer Science, Mechanics and Electronics. Not onlythese three disciplines define Robotics: a number of additional ones (to name a few, MaterialsScience, Anatomy, Psychology, Medicine, Linguistics) can be extremely relevant, and makeresearch in Robotics an extremely interdisciplinary affair. Japan has one of the world’s longest traditions in the design and production of robots,which traces back Karakuri puppets used in Shinto festivals and in tea ceremonies since the14th century. A review paper by Trovato et al. [7] covers many of these developments, indifferent fields of application (humanoids, robots for rescue, ethical aspects, arts, and more).Humanoids nowadays constitutes one of the biggest branches of Robotics, and it originated inJapan

curriculum that transmits knowledge of public well-being and ethics to ourundergraduate engineers while exploring a wide range of issues that affect public welfare,including social exclusion, poverty, and hunger [5].A key question that students in the MDE program are often asked to reflect on is "What is therole of engineering in society?" Building upon earlier touchstones -- from the revolt of engineersin the 1920s (Layton, 1986) to Socially Responsible Engineering in the 2020s (Smith & Lucena,2020) - progressive engineers have invoked a greater purpose of engineering for society. Theyhave built new areas of practice, such as humanitarian engineering, and have laid out sharedprofessional goals such as the Grand Challenges for Engineering

The students' academic performance was evaluated based on the academic performancecoefficient adopted by the researched HEI, which uses the weighted average of the final gradesof all subjects taken in the first series. This coefficient weights the workload and the grades ofthe tests and assignments of the subjects.Data Collection Procedure The research occurred after the project was approved by the Research Ethics Committee(REC), number 1.607.007. The inclusion criteria were: entering students, present at the time ofdata collection, with a minimum age of 17 years, and who consented to participate by signingthe Free and Informed Consent Form.

Students designed data displays and visual arguments; engaged in iterative designpractices; and worked to solve real-world problems on data communications and visualization.Central to the course’s design was that students were trained in key rhetorical principles,including the understanding data visualization as a form of storytelling, information design asresponsive to a particular problem or context, and the strategies for developing effectivepresentations. Students were required to design polished, professional and ethical presentationsand reports; they read and write about visual-design best practices; and
