, the student would probably be looking at this conference from an engineering point of view. Taking an engineering oriented topic, like drones, and addressing it holistically should help the student expand their engineering identity to look at engineering problems from an ethical, historical, person based perspective.Developing Non-Engineering IdentityThis vector focused on internal and personal development. Identity is a particularly trickyconcept to define. Chickering defined identity as being secure in one’s sense of self; comfortwith one’s body, gender, sexuality, culture, and place in the larger community. Because of this,LGBT/Queer community seminars, as well as discussions having to do with relationships andsexual

Beyond the vignette's loose interpretation of “real classroomexperiences,” the vignette allows for a shallow interpretation of the concepts of “funds ofknowledge" and "place-based education.” Moll et al (1992) describe “funds of knowledge” ascultural knowledge and aspects of a student's home life that students bring to classroom. Toclaim that this is present anywhere in this vignette seems to miss the mark. So then, what difference does it make whether Rick introduced the concept of “crushedcans” or not? Beyond the ethics of research, this case study matters because the entire argumentfor the relevance and importance of the “crushed can” metaphor rests on Rick himselfintroducing the concept. If

Engineering DesignAbstractAs engineering students consider the economic, social, political and ethical aspects of design,they are often treated as compulsory aspects that must be checked off a list as they dive deeperinto the technical aspects of design. Getting students to appreciate the real-world societalrelevance as an integral part of design is often challenging. The World Energy Exercise, whichintegrates an interactive and state-of-the-art computer simulation with a role-playing exercise,opens a social and active learning pathway, which helps students connect their engineeringdesigns with real-world societal relevance. The exercise enables students to control variousenergy related policy levers that impact global climate change. One lever in
