not specialize in ethics and do not feelqualified to teach more substantial engagements with it, as well as those who are concerned thatthey have limited time in their courses to spend on topics related to ethics. In this context, themicrodose approach can be attractive because it allows engineering faculty to introduce someethical material to students as a part of another lesson. Though integrating microdoses of ethics isoften the result of substantial planning, it may not require investing too much class time in theprocess.Sustained microdoses of ethics may be administered by “infusions,” in which material related toethics is connected directly and thoroughly to the technical content of engineering courses. Thisis particularly viable

The two instructors heavily involved students inshaping the design of the course both in the planning process prior to the start of the semester, aswell as through detailed feedback activities during the semester. This paper will explain the goalsof the course and will offer an analysis of student responses to the learning experience--whichwere overwhelmingly positive--based on various feedback mechanisms. Drawing upon theanalysis of these data and on the experience of co-creating and co-teaching this course, we havealso compiled lessons learned about how to design such a course and the most successfultechniques used to achieve desired student outcomes. We conclude with next steps for revisingand expanding these learning experiences

Most ofthe 51 ambassadors responded that they perceived gains in skills to motivate others, resolveinterpersonal conflicts, adjust when things were not going to plan, manage time, engage inteamwork, explain technical concepts, and speak in front of an audience. Ambassadors’confidence in their abilities was also high as a result of participating in outreach.

In this phase, each teamexpands their literature review and proposes recommendations for pursuing future design andresearch efforts. These proposed efforts should create value in some way for a stakeholder groupthat is negatively impacted (or not positively impacted) by the current design. Students will writea report quantifying how their proposed improvements could create value for their chosenstakeholder group via changing the dynamics of bias in the situation being modeled.In contrast to Phase 1, where teams wrote for a non-technical audience, students are told to writethis deliverable for a

instructional method was an exploratory studio journey of discovery with a graphicalemphasis. The student outcomes included spatial organizations (floor plans), visualizations(elevations), and basic detailing (sections). One observation was that BIM provided a logicalapplication to an otherwise unscientific design journey. The studio assessments werequalitative. This created some apprehension as the grading appeared subjective. The assessmentwas based on a qualitative relative grading system [27, pp. 434-435]. The course contributed todemonstrating the ABET performance criteria of “ability to design a system . . . within realisticconstraints;” (2) “ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessaryfor engineering practice

These are not one-to-one analogies as the instructor does not offer a “performance” in the lecture hall nor is theobserving instructor invisible to the students in the computer lab as she would be in apanopticon.

In contrast to school writing that emphasizes knowledge telling and on-demand writing, best practices consistent with professional and disciplinary writing includeopportunities to communicate meaningful content to real audiences, extended writing processesthat allow time for planning, revision, and editing, and opportunities to act upon detailedfeedback [13, 14, 15].

Product-oriented approaches often ignore writing processes entirely or depict simple,linear processes of both writing (plan→write→edit) and writing instruction(assign→submit→grade). However, the field of writing studies has largely rejected the productapproach in favor of writing-as-process models for writing instruction since the 1970s [11].Writing-as-process shifts attention from the final products to the complex, cyclical processesthrough which writing is developed.

There is little, if any,subjective evaluation involved in the scientific method.The Engineering Design ProcessIn engineering curricula, many programs introduce students to an engineering design process.One description of this process is “a series of steps that guides engineering teams as we solveproblems. The design process is iterative, meaning that we repeat the steps as many times asneeded, making improvements along the way as we learn from failure and uncover new designpossibilities to arrive at great solutions.” This source goes on to describe seven steps: (1) “Ask:Identify the need & constraints”, (2) “Research the problem”, (3) “Imagine: develop possiblesolutions”, (4) “Plan: select a promising solution”, (5) “Create

According to Dr. Twenge, iGens aremore pessimistic and less confident than previous generations [7]. They are more willing towork hard in class and not question the grades. They are hesitant to talk in class because they donot want to say something wrong. Having grown up with the internet, they are used to findinginformation themselves. They want professors to keep class interesting, keeping videos, etc. tothree minutes maximum. This is important when planning class time for iGens. Typical iGensdo not
