Engineering Ethics

to a ”culture of disengagement” from the ethical dimension of engineering work among students in the engineering profession. His Ph.D. project is funded by the NSF and is concerned with promoting and im- proving engineering students’ ethical behavior and sensitivity through on-campus student organizations. His academic interests include mental health, international development, human rights, and engineering ethics. Currently, his ambition is to work within an international organization such as UNESCO and to be an advocate for promoting science and technology as critical tools of sustainable development as well as to participate in the dialogue between scientists, policy-makers, and society.

demonstrate that overallknowledge is not diminished when peer instruction is the primary form of learning.IntroductionThe authors, along with many other engineering educators, have been strong proponents ofactive learning. Active, collaborative, cooperative, and problem‐based learning have beendemonstrated repeatedly to be more effective than lecture alone [2]. Students are 1.5 times lesslikely to fail in courses that use active learning [3]. When one of the authors was granted aFulbright Scholar Award to teach a biochemistry course in Uganda, the plan was to reproduceteaching methods used in the United States such as clicker questions, think-pair-share, and teamactivities which would be easy for the students to adopt [4]. However, within the first

to helping students from under-represented minorities succeed in STEM-related fields. American c Society for Engineering Education, 2020 (Not) Feeling Lonely in a Team: implementation and assessment of equitable team formation practices (Work in Progress)Abstract: Modern engineering practice involves teamwork, collaboration, and communication,skills graduates should possess for long-term success in the field. However, teamwork inengineering curricula is often fraught with a range of challenges that extend beyond the content ofa given course or project. In engineering education, researchers have been interested inmechanisms for forming teams in

, the resultant information was organizedaccording to the researched population (Appendix): K-12 students and teachers, collegestudents (undergraduate and graduate), and non-formal students (communities andprofessionals).K-12: Students and teachers In total, six articles represent the research around the education of students enrolled inthe K-12 ranks, principally 5th grade and secondary school, to foster social justice. In the firstcase, I found that the researchers used design as a means for learning (problem-based learning),associating the concept of social justice with how the participants addressed or solved social 10problems.

Personas are detailed, archetypal users based onconsumer demographics and scripted with names, characteristics, backgrounds, habits, goals, andexperiences that aid in product development and production. Abbreviated personas contain onlyminimal information to assist engineering students in learning how to effectively applyemotional design in engineering and bypass the robust demographic/market research thataccompanies a persona. We explored their implementation process during a design capstoneinvolving a multi-disciplinary team. The capstone team was a diverse group of graduate students,including two in mechanical engineering, one in management, science and engineering, and onestudent in education. The team

their limitations and potentials are investigated. This paper provides avaluable resource for MRE students and faculty who would like to utilize open-source hardwareand software platforms in their education and research. 11 IntroductionThe field of Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering (MRE), nowadays, involves a synergisticintegration of precision mechanical engineering with electronics and intelligent computer controlin the design of manufacturing processes and smart products. In recent years, MRE hasexperienced tremendous, dynamic growth owing to advances in integrated circuits and electronics,embedded systems and computers, networks, and intelligent systems, as well as democratizationof
