There’s a reasonyou feel that way.”Acknowledging Pressure to Go Along Just like pressure in a liquid or gas may be used by a professional engineer to exert forcein a mechanical system, pressure may be used by a leader to encourage compliance with anunethical directive or request. Of course, pressure in a liquid or gas may be easier to measure andevaluate than the human mind when under stress. Participants emphasized the importance oftheir awareness of what actions others had taken to apply pressure and how they were feelingunder that pressure, both as a means to respond appropriately and to avoid

through auspices ofthe National Academies.backgroundThe practice of engineering is more than the application of scientific, mathematical, andtechnical knowledge to design, develop, build, and maintain devices, systems, structures, andprocesses. It is a creative endeavor with profound cultural, ethical, and social dimensions, andwith the great potential to do good or harm, however intentionally or unintentionally.While it may seem as though considerations of such non-technical aspects of engineering are arelatively recent concern, they have in fact long been on the minds of practitioners [1]. Indeed, aset of papers published in 1922 put forward some remarkably modern-sounding concepts.Alexander Graham Christie, a Johns Hopkins University

identity differbetween students on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. We first ran bivariatetests (t-tests) to see if the values of our four dependent variables differed by LGBQ status, TGNCstatus, and STEM major. We then ran a multivariate regression to test all of these threeindependent variables together, controlling for a set of college experiences known to relate toscience and engineering identity. The first four t-tests compared the four dependent variables—interest, recognition as ascientist, recognition as an engineer, and performance/competence—by whether students areSTEM majors. T-test results are presented in the following table. Keep in mind that interest andperformance/competence were adapted to accommodate

students were expected at the student workshop and there was only oneworkshop planned with 8 different problem-solving methods and an expected 5 participants permethod. This would have resulted in a significant sample size to assess each method andcompare the participants both individually and as a group. Because of scheduling conflicts, theactual turnout was 11 students total, leading to the addition of the second workshop which washosted for the practicing engineering group. A comprehensive list of the ideation methods whichwere going to be introduced in the presentation were Chindogu, Mind Mapping, Biomimicry,Rapid Ideation, Problem Definition Process, SWOT Analysis, and What, So What, Now WhatAnalysis.

Someexamples include meditation (mindfulness(11)(12)(13), Tamarkoz(14), Yoga(15)), a resilienceprogram(16), dance movement therapy(17), engaging in acts of kindness and giving(18), anassignment consisting of developing an actual plan for mental wellness(19), and increasing student-faculty interaction through informal social events.(20) It is worthwhile to mention

The theory of recollection holds that learning is not the process of knowledge comingfrom the outside into the mind, but rather the recovering of something an individual has alwayspossessed but which was previously unrecognized. The review of recollection that follows islargely based on Jones’s dissertation [12]. Plato explores recollection in three dialogs – theMeno, the Phaedo, and the Phaedrus. The Meno introduces this idea of recollection throughsomething like an experiment

Introduction to systems engineeringcourses lack integration of current thinking on community engagement ethics and that absencecan be seen across the systems engineering curriculum, as well. We ask: How do we createlearning opportunities/engineering interventions that are technically sound, and also prioritizecommunity voice, cultural appropriateness, and contextual efficacy? In this paper, we reviewthree methods of stakeholder analysis taught in system engineering courses and identify whereand how one can integrate community voices through a

course load, studentsmainly used words associated with feeling scared. Meanwhile, the interpersonal contexts ofengineering, which vary across students, such as academic peers, professors, and women inSTEM, evoke a wide variety of emotions within and across students, with words emerging acrossthe emotion categories of angry, confident, happy, loved, and scared. The most salient emotiongroups that emerged during our interviews across contexts were confident, happy, and scared.Our results indicate that navigating engineering is inherently emotional across a variety ofstudents and in a variety of contexts. With that in mind, one recommendation we have formaking student support more responsive is anticipating and responding to the emotional needs
