between Bowers’suggestions and the complicated, technical lists of strategies to stop academic dishonesty in more modern papers (seeSection V for a discussion of this). A 1998 review of empirical cheating research provides several insights into the factors influencing collegiatecheating [22]. Below are presented some of the findings: • Males generally cheat more, though the difference was reported as diminishing over time • Lower G.P.A. students cheat more • Business major students cheat more than others • Personal moral/ethical guidelines affect cheating propensity and feelings about cheating • More surveillance corresponded with less cheating • Observing others cheating, knowing friends who cheat, and sitting next to

Paper ID #37226Engineering or Physical Sciences: How to Choose? An Exploration of HowFirst-Year University Students Choose between Studying the PhysicalSciences and EngineeringDr. Janna Rosales, Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada Janna Rosales works at the crossroads of the sciences and humanities, where she explores the intent, values, and needs that go into the decisions we make about technology. She teaches ethics and profes- sionalism in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science at Memorial University of Newfoundland. She collaborates with the Memorial University-based MetaKettle Project, which studies the

humankind unique, both individually and as a species, remains unclear. Advances in neuroscience and computer science, as well as ethics, generate questions about the nature of intelligence, consciousness, and personhood and the rights and protections associated with being human. In this course students tackle classic readings from Descartes to modern ruminations on artificial intelligence, examine our relation to our creations and pets, and the way our various identities affect how our personhood is perceived and protected.Some basic information from the course syllabus is described below.Broad Topics covered 1. Basic neuroscience 2. Distinctions between humans and nonhumans 3. Emotional connection and dependencies between

Department, Sheffield, 1991.living in an age of technology increased. There is a particular focus on the use of abuse insocial media and how to prevent it through legislation. But, this seems to be one of manyaspects of the social media that need to be controlled, so many people think. Each of usmakes an ethical judgement in response to the problem. Medical doctors come face to facewith the study of medical ethics during their training since they have to make life and deathdecisions. Engineers will have been told about their codes of practice. By and large, however,a curriculum that is focused on preparation for work gives little attention to ethics, which isnot perhaps surprising in a world that Hamilton-Paterson thinks has little or no conception

conceptual engineering. The goal is that non-engineers should be more informed users of technology and this information can be gained by people who are not necessarily STEM professionals. Division members have developed a considerable amount of research around this approach [1].• Responsible Citizenship: Some work emerging from TELPhE has advocated for technological literacy as a component of responsible citizenship. A key theme in this group is the idea that given the pervasive nature of technology as part of everyday life, technological and engineering literacy should include an ability to understand the social, political, economic, and ethical implications of technological developments [1].• Engineering Literacy for

inareas such as social and ethical considerations of engineering design.Although investigating student epistemology is important, there is still an open question aboutthe kinds of epistemology prevalent in the engineering curriculum itself. It is challenging tocapture in a coherent way the broad multidisciplinary field of engineering. Engineeringknowledge has many elements including “innovation, critical thinking, systems thinking,biology, mathematics, physical sciences, engineering sciences, problem solving, design, analysis,judgment, and communication” which are referred to below as the 2006 agenda elements [2, p.260]. As this list indicates, engineers must approach designs in diverse ways includingtheoretical principles, models, design codes
