They received instruction on anddiscussed topics of ethics, with an emphasis on science, technology, and engineering, developedlesson plans, and created posters showcasing their integration strategies. The participants alsointeracted with other E3 groups to explore best practices in engineering education. This paperdescribes the teacher selection process, program structure, and key outcomes, including ongoingdiscussions to assess the integration of ethics into their curricula.

Given the nature of what our graduates will do after graduation compared toaspirant institutions, the decision was to retain it within the program.
