the follow-up question, why do engineers solve problems?is not as frequently communicated. Engineers solve problems for the benefit of society. Evidencefor this role is seen within the National Society of Professional Engineer’s code of ethicscannons and rules of practice, the first of which is “Engineers shall hold paramount the safety,health, and welfare of the public [1].” While not every engineer will be providing individualizedproblem solutions, i.e. care, the discipline of engineering is intended to provide solutions andcare to society. Engineers are societal caregivers. The problems engineers are called on to solve, are complex, not just from anintellectually rigorous perspective, but also from the myriad of societal, ethical

Some examples ofsocietal outcomes include public engagement, education, inclusion, societal wellbeing, nationalsecurity, strengthened infrastructure, and economic competitiveness, among others.

. Listening to “happy” music [5] may alsoimprove mood and lead to an increase in cooperative behavior.In the capstone design course that is the subject of this paper, working out the team dynamics is aone-time activity. However, studies of team function over time show that – as expected – teameffectiveness may vary over the duration of a long project. While capstone design is far lessintense than long duration space missions (although students may claim otherwise), studies of theperformance over time of teams operating in extreme situations has shown that crews’ abilities tothink divergently and make choices as a group decreased over time, while ethical decisionmaking and ability to execute tasks stayed relatively constant and increased, respectively

EHoM are internalized dispositions and ways of thinking that engineers draw uponwhen confronted with problems [4] and include things such as optimism, persistence,collaboration, creativity, systems thinking, and attention to ethical considerations [5]. TheseEHoM can be beneficial to all students, regardless of career choice, but as with all habits,EHoM take time to develop. As
