In this case, we mix students from two programs together in the engineeringorientation course. “What topics should be covered in this course?” is always a question and achallenge for the instructors. After 3-year practices and continuous improvements, we decide tocover not only the basics of ME and EE but also diverse soft skills trainings especially theproject management trainings. Three teaching assistants (two juniors from EE and one juniorfrom ME) are assisting a professor in the lab sections.

The lack of validated assessment methods for process safety thinking, coupledwith the general lack of authentic situations in which students can make these decisions presentsus with an opportunity to address both points. In this paper, we will discuss both the creation of avirtual process safety environment which attempts to address the authenticity issue, as well as thedevelopment of an assessment tool, the Engineering Process Safety Reasoning Instrument(EPSRI), which is based on previous work in assessing students’ moral and ethical reasoning inan engineering context.Project ObjectivesThis work

These students, the makers of the future mobile technology, who areinvolved in app creation – from defining the concept to requirements gathering, to finalimplementation – takes into consideration how the app will work successfully and effectively.However, their design decisions are not always made thinking about how the application willinfluence the user, the community, and the society at large. To address this critical issue, in thispaper, we report our experience with weaving the notion of social and ethical computing whiledesigning and developing an upper-level computer science course on mobile questionnairedevelopment.
