more importantly, gaina desire for life-long learning about health and safety topics and building a safety culture. To achieve this, wehave been emphasizing the importance of safety, every class, every meeting, through a brief safety momentin several courses within our department. Each class starts with a short moment in the form of an online gamesuch as a Kahoot!, slides, videos, or even what-if scenarios. Our application domain is in architecturalengineering, but the context can be expanded for any engineering domain, including both large and smallclasses. This paper will describe how we select topics, deliver safety moments, and students’ opinions fromstudent evaluation comments.Keywords: Safety Moment, Code of Ethics, Wellbeing, Public

demonstration of written and oral communication competencies. 5. Conduct themselves in accordance with best practices, highest ethical standards, and values of their discipline. Students in the D.Eng. program are required to complete the Scholarship and Research Integrity (SARI) requirements governing ethical research methods. In addition, the combination of courses in the technical field and leadership elements of this D.Eng. program will further educate and evaluate ethical awareness and behavior in the student’s field of study.CourseworkThe program requires 45 credits, of which 9 credits are focused on developing leadership andinnovation management skills of value to the student’s career growth; 6 credits are focused

program. The SPW had no academic credit, but the students were required to participate andpass before starting their research. The workshop was held weekly in the first six weeks of starting the I-RISE program in each academic year. It included interactive discussions on topics such as researchprotocols, research ethics, data collection, writing professional technical statements, writing professionalresumes, discussion about budget management, mock interviews, dressing for job interviews, and supportin securing internships. Since the participants in the I-RISE program were freshmen and sophomores, theforgoing topics aimed to give students new perspectives and skills that aided them in carrying out theirdownstream research activities under faculty

most likely to be successful.However, there are certain cons of using data analytics in departments: (a) Limitations of data: Analytics relies on the quality and quantity of data available. If the data is incomplete or inaccurate, it can lead to flawed decision-making. (b) Cost: Implementing analytics tools and systems can be expensive, which may be a barrier for some academic departments, particularly those with limited resources. (c) Resistance to change: Some faculty and staff may be resistant to using analytics to make decisions, particularly if they are not familiar with the technology or feel that it undermines their expertise. (d) Ethical concerns: There may be ethical concerns around the use of student

Student Outcome 4). It can be challenging foreducators to find opportunities for their students to develop these skills due to the demands ofteaching the extensive technical material associated with the curriculum. This paper describesour experience using a current event related case study in a technical elective to address ABETstudent outcomes 2 and 4.Case studies involving sustainability and environmental issues provide a unique opportunity forengineering students to tackle technical and ethical issues. Including a role-playing component ina case study presentation provides additional opportunities for students to develop awareness ofsocial justice issues.

students to incorporate theextended track to potentially reduce the risk of injury. The third group presented its process mapof the lifesaving protocol referred to as the muster. Students demonstrated how they utilizedFMEA in designing this process as they used the data from past protocols noting where theprevious protocols failed. The fourth group demonstrated the value in using FMEA in producingrecommendations and requirements to be considered in the engineering design process. Forexample, if an owner of a ship is looking to improving the davit release system of an openlifeboat system, the engineering designer cannot ethically work on this task as these systems areno longer permitted for use on ocean-bound vessels. This last group also

this project were invaluable, as research, design, trial and error, as well astechnical writing are all important experiences within engineering [8]-[9]. This heart rate monitornot only provides scientists and researchers with more valuable information about design,prototyping and proof of concept, but also is also capable of educating the everyday person aboutthe basics of engineering as well as the importance of innovation.References [1] “Lithium-ion batteries need to be greener and more ethical.” Nature News. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01735-z.
