to learn in an engineering senior design experience11,12,13.The objective of the study is to identify if external validators and teachingassistants are useful in identifying students’ proficiency in specific areas such asinnovation, prototyping, and design. In order to generate a comparablebenchmark, the instructor scored students using an interactive design challengewith the same metrics in mind. We hypothesize that students’ design challengescores would be similar to both external validators and teaching assistants scoreson the gamma prototype. This comparison can help determine if externalvalidators and teaching assistants can accurately assess student’s capabilities andskills in a project-based learning course. This would further

studies, will shortly be making when they enter their professions, andwill make over the course of their lives. Unsurprisingly, ethics courses that do not respect thedeep complexities raised by engineering design and technology are likely to generate studentsthat walk away unimpressed with the ethical thinking offered them.1 It is only later, when verydifficult ethical choices are presented that engineers come to regret not being sufficientlyprepared.With these considerations in mind we have deliberately constructed a course so that students, asfuture engineers and designers, will have the chance to think broadly and deeply about a numberof kinds of cases, and through many different ethical lenses.Framing Together Ethical Theories and Engineering

might be building with absurdity, like a fire-breathing octopus,communing with like-minded quirky people via the internet, using “alternative energy” to comeup with out-of-the-box ideas, or hacking your GE appliances to make breakfast when your alarmgoes off. In an engineering space, it could be creating surprise and delight for a user group,applying aesthetic flourishes, brainstorming wild and crazy ideas, with non-yellow Post-Its, orapplying a design challenge prompt in form of “design for the future of X.” A key considerationis that play can be seen as frivolous and undermining rigor, rather than an opportunity to convertinterest and passion into invention.Risk TakingMakers can treat failure as a badge of honor and admission into their
