They showed greater interest in providing quality elements for the benefit of the final product than in obtaining a grade for it.● Students in general showed greater interest in performing in a better way since they reflected more commitment and felt part of a bigger project in which they were responsible for a greater job that would impact the peers of the other subjects.With regard to the

DAEstudies also indicate that children often have a narrow view of the work of engineers, oftendrawing them as laborers who build and fix things [14]-[18].The development and use of a Draw-An-Engineering-Teacher Test could provide pre and in-service teachers with the opportunity to capture their mental images and reflect on what theybelieve engineering does or would look like in their classrooms.

discouraging motivations are competitive classroom environments andgrades [14]. While grades are an evaluation of student learning inferred by the instructor,students’ grades have been interpreted by students as a measure of success and achievement.Students with lower performance or grades, therefore, become less motivated and doubt theirabilities to be successful in the engineering program. Other educational factors reported asdiscouraging to students’ motivation were time commitment on course tasks and the quality ofteaching with large effects for female than male students [14].

Narrowed focus and heightened involvement parallel a “flowstate”. The variables effecting immersion, engagement and flow were investigated by Hamari etal. in the context of educational game design [7]. They found that games which are challengingcompared to the skill level of the player led to increased engagement and immersion, inagreement with Flow theory.In their systematic review of game-based learning, Bodnar et al. found that of 191 papersconsidered, 54 included a measurement of emotional

Engineering Education, 2019 Evaluating the Impact of Ethics Instruction on Student AwarenessAbstractEngineers must frequently make decisions during their careers without understanding orknowing the full set of consequences. These decisions can have unintended or harmful results.Therefore, it is imperative that engineers consider the ethical dimensions of their decisions whileworking to satisfy their employer’s interests even if these decisions conflict with theirorganization’s objectives or their own goals. Engineers have a responsibility to uphold a level ofethical standards that produces trust in not only their organization but also in their profession.Students entering the workforce must reflect the same level of ethical standards

The FSLMincorporates some elements of the Myers-Briggs [12] model and Kolb’s [11] experientiallearning model. The main reasoning for its selection in the DLMS evaluation is that it focuses onaspects of learning that are significant in engineering education.The FSLM consists of four dimensions, each with two contrasting learning styles. These fourdimensions (and their associated contrasting learning styles) are: Processing (Active/Reflective);Perception (Sensing/Intuitive); Input (Visual/Verbal); and Understanding

of Ethics, it is clearthat the Code highly reflects deontological theory; i.e., it consists of a series of doctrines thatengineers must follow, with intrinsic morality tied to each behavior. In other words, the Code ofEthics can be seen as a reflection of an engineer’s duty to society.A difference from this dominate theoretical approach can be seen to emerge in the review of 108articles and conference papers on macroethical education in engineering. Articles were reviewedand sorted based on the three main “families” of ethical theory: utilitarianism, deontology, andvirtue ethics. This review showed that explicit reference to these three families of theoryoccurred in 41 of the 108 articles reviewed – 14 predominately noted utilitarianism

importance of understanding the career preparation process, researchersshould endeavor to develop knowledge that reflects the lived experiences of individuals makingdecisions about their future careers.In engineering education, two gaps in the literature currently limit the extent to which careerresearch reflects individuals’ lived experiences. First, existing studies in engineering educationresearch often make assumptions of what “counts” as an engineering career. Typically, onlypositions in industry or academia in engineering sectors are counted towards retention. Second,studies often treat career decision-making as a logical, cognitive process, ignoring the pervasiveinfluences of personal identities and belonging. The proposed study has
