Perhaps political cartoons are the most evident example of cartoons’ relianceon the viewer’s awareness of current events, social debates, and even stereotypes common to thesociety in which the cartoon was made. Political cartoons are unusual cartoons because theyarguably reflect as well as influence a society’s beliefs, in their roles as neutral socialcommentary or as propaganda intended to promote a certain outcome (Mills et al., 2013, p.183).17 As a result, political cartoons are often used in educational activities to teach studentstextual analysis and interpretation skills as well as content information included in the cartoons,such as political science, history, and ethics

The course introduces a new concept, “citizen engineering,”borrowed from a tradition of citizen science in which community members (“non-experts”)identify scientific questions and proceed through formal processes, such as participatory actionresearch, to systematically seek answers to their questions by defining and driving their ownprocesses of inquiry and analysis, sometimes but not always with

Related styles of role-playingmay have students not only role-play different potential company positions, but also be scoredusing game-style grading to advance to new positions 1, 12.Role-playing has also been utilized to let students assume the roles of expert witnesses beinginterviewed in a mock trial with the intent of having the students encounter ethical dilemmas andpractice responding as professionals 5, 6. By placing students into a situation which forces themto ‘make the call’ in their role, the instructor is more likely to engage the students as they learnengineering ethics than
