toavoid any potential ethical conflicts. Beyond ethical conflicts, this is also important as there arefaculty both within the college of engineering (CoE) and the FYE group itself with groupinterview experience and one with significant experience with engineering education. Facultybeing interviewed may not have been as forthright knowing data gathering was being performedby their peers. Furthermore, members of the FYE program abstained from surveys responses andfocus groups. A series of four questions was asked in survey form of all faculty: 1. What is your understanding of the rational motivating this curriculum change? 2. From your perspective, what are the potential benefits of the FYE program? 3. What concerns do you have

These courses address importanttopics for young researchers, such as a re-introduction of the scientific method, scientific writing © American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 2018 ASEE Southeastern Section Conferenceof proposals and papers, and ethical considerations. For departments with such structuredcourses, new graduate students develop their research skills together, which saves the students’advisors time in teaching them basics individually. Such a system also avoids frustration due tolost productivity in the early stages of their studies.Many of these ideas are independent of the field of study, hence they can be taught by anythoughtful instructor who has

Further, when this form of collaboration isprivileged, then relationships no longer have as their focus a given project or deliverablebut rather those relationships endure and are nourished by their place in a broadernetwork to effect deeper and more systemic local, national, or international change.Socio-technical Project-based Learning Model and AssessmentAn engineering instructor should play an important role in leading students to view socialand ethical choices as vital parts of their future lives, both as professionals and ascitizens.

Central to the identity of civil engineering as a profession isthe need for such expert knowledge and skills, independence of thought and judgment, and anethos to serve the public good grounded in a sound code of ethics [1], [2].

Criterion 3(c) states, “an ability to design a system, components, or process tomeet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social,political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability” while criterion 3(h)states, “the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in aglobal, economic, environmental, and societal context” [3].

decline in cost for virtual reality and the increase inavailability are now making virtual reality a more attractive option for engineeringeducation.MethodsThrough this study we wish to introduce students to four professional development skills. Theseskills are leadership, teamwork, communication and ethics. Students will be taught thefundamentals of these skills and how they can be applied. Because these students are involved inexisting teams in a project environment, they will be able to utilize these skills immediately in thisprogram.The Make to Innovate program engages students in hands on learning through projects wherestudents solve a variety of problems to achieve the projects goals. The program has between 270to 290 students that are

Do we replace current energyresources with ones that are renewable? Is it possible to do so and still consume the sameamount of energy? Or do we lead a global effort to develop political, technological, andeconomic strategies to ensure a more equitable energy distribution? Although these questionshave been addressed in a superficial manner, the faculty members would like to devote moretime in class exploring these issues, and they plan to invite guest speakers to talk aboutenvironmental ethics and social justice.

The social responsibility ofengineers is to carefully evaluate the full range of broader impacts of their designs on the health,safety, and welfare of the public environment. Half a century after the creed originated, ourworld is facing irreparable damage and destruction that has direct connections to andrepercussions from the consequences of engineering.

For example, sampleethics lessons from the National Academy of Engineering’s Online Ethics Center(www.onlineethics.org) might constitute a public good because one professor’s use of a samplelesson in their class does not prevent another professor’s use of that same lesson. Similarly, thematerials are publicly available and non-excludable as long as someone has internet access.

Empathy impactscommunication [26], design processes [27], professional success [28], ethics [29], and the overallculture of engineering [24]. In this paper, a framework of empathy developed within theneurosciences is adopted. Decety & Moriguchi [30] neuroscience approach to empathy hasestablished four components of empathy: affective sharing, self-awareness, emotion regulation,perspective taking & mental flexibility. Affective sharing means one can reflect upon the feelingsof another. Self-awareness allows one to distinguish the self from the experience of another.Perspective
