students to establishsuch a mental model using solid mechanics concepts is a reasonable approach, which may benefitstudents in their entire engineering career. As shown in Figure 6, fundamental concepts inmechanics can be completely separate in students’ mind before they have a firm understanding oftheir meaning. The M3E approach is expected to help students connect these abstract concepts anddevelop their mental model to represent a network of such complex concepts. A well-developedconcept map, externalization of the mental representation, will show the fundamentalunderstanding of these concepts. Once students have such capability, they can easily adapt it forother engineering applications. The effectiveness of the proposed M3E approach will be

Specifically, the team agreed that having a buildingautomation and IoT house that could be used by the teachers would significantly improve andaccelerate the engineering concepts and processes. With this goal in mind, the team looked atseveral implementation paths to create such structures.

Similar toawareness, cognitive, situational and institutional factors may influence all of these activities.Intent and Action are generally not represented in more traditional rubrics for engineering ethics,but at the same time, play an important role in determining a course of ethical behavior. Intentrefers to the degree to which an individual is committed to a moral course of action and dependon an individual’s personal moral intuition, identify and affect. Action involves the ability totranslate awareness, judgement and intent into action. Again, the different cognitive, situationaland institutional factors described above may influence both a person’s intent and action.With these concepts in mind

The students’ broad preference to imagine excellent CSR in this way suggests agreater comfort with a moderate rather than radical approach to CSR.

Particularly, IBM explainshow the identities that come to individuals’ minds influence how individuals perceive taskdifficulty in different contexts to pursue goals [10]–[12].

Throughout each unit, youth are introduced to engineering practices andhabits of mind through an Engineering Design Process (EDP), which they use as a guide whileworking in small groups to design a solution to an engineering challenge. The EDP begins withidentifying a problem that needs to be solved and investigating what has already been done.Next, engineers imagine different
