A course module, named ‘Robotsat Your Service’, was developed to engage students to critically think about the social and ethicalimplications while performing technical research assignments and identifying new opportunitiesin robotic applications. Active & collaborative learning (ACL), such as jigsaw and gallery walk,are used for effectively engaging students and promoting self-learning. Initial assessments of itsfirst deployment in Spring 2018 showed positive outcomes for its feasibility. This module wasdeveloped for an undergraduate junior/senior robotics course; however, its generic format makesit suitable for graduate level adoption as well.IntroductionEngineering students traditionally

In 2017, he and two co-authors won the Best Paper Award in the Minorities in Engineering Division at the American Society for Engineering Education annual conference.

Social responsibility is embodied in theEngineer’s Creed and is directly related to engineering ethics [10], so much so that theengineering accrediting agency ABET requires that graduates can approach their work in asocially responsible manner [11]. The principles of social responsibility are what attract manystudents to engineering, specifically those from underrepresented groups [12].

Therefore, ethicalconsideration is vital when conducting research.

In the systematic review of Passow and Passow [4], planning and time management,problem-solving, communication and teamwork were identified as highly important byengineers. Identified as less, but still important, were ethics, lifelong learning, taking initiative,thinking creatively, and focusing on goals. Does this mean that engineering students needmore teamwork skills than lifelong learning skills? Or do students need to finish theireducational program with an advanced level mastery of lifelong learning and an expert levelmastery of teamwork? These questions raise the need to not just investigate the importanceof the competencies but also of the competency levels required
