These findings are augmented through national survey ofengineering faculty. The survey investigated faculty perceptions on the importance ofengineering leadership development and the manner faculty think these materials should beincorporated in engineering curricula. These perceptions are investigated with respect toparticipant’s backgrounds and experiences outside the academy. This work will be of interest toboth faculty building commitment for and materials supporting integration of engineeringleadership in the curriculum and the engineering leadership profession.IntroductionMany of

There are five seminars offered over the course of the program and range in topic toinclude engineering, technology, curriculum, professional communities, and other aspects ofinterest to new teachers.This paper describes an activity used in one of these seminars to connect the Engineering DesignProcess to the content and process standards in the Common Core State Standards. In thissession, 10 engineering undergraduate students and 10 beginning mathematics teachersparticipating in the special program worked together to solve an engineering design challenge byusing

curriculum that would encourage and improve students’creativity? Additionally, Kazerounian and Foley [7] showed a valid argument for the importanceof creativity in engineering as well as a lack of techniques to foster it in our engineering students.Thus, an engineering professor at a western university developed a pedagogical approach toengineering graphics instruction called Conceptual Design Blending (CDB) that facilitatescreativity in engineering students. The term CDB has its root in Fauconnier and Turner’sConceptual Blending [8] and Arthur Koestler’s Bisociation [9] where students are asked togenerate an entirely new design using features of two or more pre-existing designs.

These types of case-studies should be more fully integrated throughout the semester, rather than concentrated at the end as they were in the Fall 2015 semester.  Students enjoyed the creativity associated with the final design project and the fact that each team’s problem statement was unique. Many requested that some of the experiment- based activities from earlier in the semester be replaced with small design challenges. Instructors would have to be selective to insure curriculum topics are still addressed if this

Current options for ethics training arenoticeably limited in these areas.Approaches to Ethics InstructionThere are multiple methods of ethics training currently in use. When determining what should beincluded in ethics training, there are aspects of both the delivery and the content to consider.Delivery methods are often separated based on whether instruction is disseminated as part ofstand-alone ethics course focused on either general or more field specific ethics or if it isdelivered in an ethics-across-the-curriculum method which is essentially an integration of ethicscontent in otherwise technical skills courses. 4

contributing to narrow perceptions of ethicsamong students.22 For example, educational reforms aiming to introduce more social and ethicalrequirements into curricula can be perceived by students as “constraints” and “discreterequirements” rather than integral to both their education and future professional practice.Related research has additionally questioned whether engineering education has measurableimpacts on the ethical capabilities and moral development of engineering students. For instance,Shuman et al. coded student responses to an open-ended ethical dilemma, and found littleevidence of growth in ethical reasoning from the freshman year to senior year, althoughrelatively few of these students had taken formal ethics courses.23 Similarly, Wu et

were doing it to satisfy their own intrinsic values. While they still believed that good writingwas important to an engineering professional, the lack of continuity in the curriculum madewriting seem far less important to an engineering student.Compounding this devaluation, students often received negative social messages from otherstudents and even faculty about the value of communication coursework. Some students hadbeen told by peers to expect their writing class to be tedious, and mostly just a meaninglessrequirement. One student reported that in a subsequent class with a communication component,the instructor explicitly messaged that the students were there to get an easy grade on thatcomponent and pass through to more important work.The
