While our focus here is on a civil and environmental engineering course, our studyhas implications for engineering curriculum in general. More specifically, though, we discusshere an attempt to use stakeholder value mapping exercises to equally represent all threedimensions of sustainable development in a technical engineering course. The study reported here aims to answer the following two research questions related tousing stakeholder value mapping exercises as short-term instruments for integrating macro-ethical issues into technical course.

nevertheless seemed to miss the mark in terms of what participantsexpected from me. They seemed to have an implicit model for what creativity was (namely, aninternal cognitive act) and how it should be taught (using a traditional didactic approach), butthey felt they lacked the content of what should be conveyed within that model of creativityeducation. In other words, creativity was like statics or circuits, with a handful of orientingprinciples and problem-solving protocols that could be identified, conveyed discretely, practiced,mastered, cumulated, and ultimately integrated with other engineering analytic skills. What Ipresented about what made PDI students creative and successful problem solvers bothmisaligned with what my engineering peers

these codes were written [4, 5]. Yarmus [18] and Russell [17] articulate the first line ofthinking. While there are differences in the tones of their arguments, both argue that engineers’ professional societies should use their members’ technical integrity and exemplary ethics as ameans of raising the status and stature of the profession. Unfortunately, by framing engineers’professional integrity as an unwavering platform upon which enhanced occupational statusshould be advocated, they leave little space for critique or improvement in this realm.Hill et al. and Andrews adopt the second line of reasoning. In contrast to Yarmus and Russell,these authors accept that engineers have room for improvement when it comes to ethicalconduct, but by

Other work hasdocumented the effects of service learning participation on meeting ABET learning outcomes [6]and providing global engineering competencies [8, 9]. While the benefits of service learning forstudent education are enticing, there is also some evidence that participation in projects with localcommunities, in contrast to internationally-based field work, can achieve the same studentoutcomes in terms of technical and professional skills [10, 11].Integration of service learning into the curriculum also necessitates the consideration of impactson the

approaches” (p. 30), Richter and Parettipropose the term “disciplinary egocentrism” as a label for the “cognitive barriers” that stand inthe way of interdisciplinary collaboration. Disciplinary egocentrism is marked by an inability tothink beyond one’s own perspective, a lack of understanding of the value of multiple approaches,and an “inability to integrate and synthesize differing epistemologies and value systems inaddressing complex problems” (p. 38). At its foundation, disciplinary egocentrism grows out ofboth a “rejection of other viewpoints” and “a failure to recognize differences” (p. 38). Given thisdiagnosis, a logical place to begin treatment would be exposure to different perspectives in acontext that makes them meaningful and relevant (as

IntroductionCSR is a controversial concept, and interpretations of CSR are deeply informed by one’spersonal and political views [5]. Proponents of CSR, for example, view it as a vehicle fortransforming businesses to create shared economic, social and environmental value forthemselves and their stakeholders. In contrast, some skeptics from inside of the business worldview CSR as an intrusion on free market principles (see [6] for an early and famous example).And critics of capitalism in general argue that CSR allows corporations to capture and reframesocial problems “in such a way as to align with the agendas of

Learning, in this vein, becomes a cyclical process in which newmeanings and perspectives are gained. There have been calls to integrate reflection within theengineering education curriculum, which implicate reflection as an essential skill for helping tocultivate a strong sense of professional identity, increase critical thinking, and deepen learningthroughout the engineering educational experience [10] [11] [12]; however, these calls have notdeveloped rich insights into how to design, embed, and create reflection activities that encouragedifferent perspectives

Like many of itspredecessors, Eggert’s paper only mentions “empathy” once when describingprofessionals’ interpersonal style, which includes “empathy, tolerance, honesty, trust, andpersonal integrity” [17]. As part of a person’s “style,” empathy is considered apsychological trait, one that reflects an engineering designer’s personality. The concept “empathic design,” coined by Leonard and Rayport, had gainedprominence prior to its presence in engineering education [18]. The first reference to“empathic design” in DEED appeared in 2011. Titus and colleagues called empathicdesign “the ideal form” of human
