and rulesProfessional engineering societies encourage professional licensure. They do this through policystatements and advocacy work. Two groups that are particularly relevant to civil engineers arethe American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and the National Society of ProfessionalEngineers (NSPE). Both groups have a code of ethics. A review of these codes reveals thatASCE and NSPE members are not ethically bound to be licensed; in fact neither code of ethicsdirectly mentions licensure [7], [8]. However, a review of policy statements from both groupsprovides more depth regarding professional engineering licensure in general and specifically forfaculty.ASCE Policy Statement 130 states that ASCE “supports and promotes the professional
critically, some caringrelationships seem to have a significance in ‘excess’ of the labor they enable” [21, p. 14]. Tounpack this statement, in her book The Ethics of Care, Virginia Held offers a comparison(originally provided in [21]) of the ways in which a parent and a child-care provider may care forone and the same child in that “both can perform the same work of reassuring the child, hugging[them], transferring [them] from [a parent] to worker, and so on. But the character and meaningof the [parent’s] care may be in excess of the work itself. For the [parent], the work is a responseto the relationship, whereas for the day-care worker, the relationship is probably a response tothe work” [21. p. 33]. In other words, for Vanasupa, the “labor” of
creates moreawareness in human oriented engineering design and manufacturing but also adds a novel dimension inthe personal and professional life of any engineering practitioner. In other professional schools, such asin Law and Medical schools, more emphasis is given on the socio-cultural aspects of the profession.Similarly, medical ethics and legal ethics are compulsory courses in their curricula. In engineering curricula,however, a full compulsory course on engineering ethics is not offered to the undergraduate students.For this reason, during the exams for the engineering license (Professional Engineer or PE license) therecent graduates do not perform well in the areas of engineering ethics and aesthetics. Inclusion of art and aesthetics adds

The criticality of these issues andpotential ways to expose students to such skill sets has been encouraged by the publication of aSpecial Issue on Engineering Education: Beyond Technical Skills [7]. ABET also indicates theneed for such skill development via Criterion 3 where students must display the ability tofunction on multidisciplinary teams, understand professional and ethical responsibility,communicate effectively, and understand the impact of engineering solutions in a context thatincludes global

We have done similar activities with study sessions and visiting professors that haveshown an improvement in students asking for help on technical problems. We hope this willproduce similar results with writing.In addition to the discussion, students are required to write two papers during the secondsemester. The first is an individual paper on ethics, and the second is a team technical report ontheir engineering design project. For the ethics paper, students select an event in history wherepossible unethical decisions were made. As a pair, they research the topic, being sure to answer aset of five questions, present the topic in class any way they would like

] proposed that students’ epistemic practice in SSI are understood through bothargumentation and informal reasoning [6], [13]. Based on an intensive literature review, Sadler [6]concluded that it is hard to assess the quality of student argumentation only by logical reasoningbecause in SSI contexts, everyday life experiences, moral and ethical beliefs, values, and cultureaffect students’ argumentation practices. Duschl also points out that student argumentation in SSIis a reasoning strategy that involves the general reasoning domain of informal logic as well ascritical thinking [10].In most recent research concerning argumentation, Toulmin’s model [14] was adopted as a usefultool to understand logical reasoning of argumentation. However, Toulmin’s

A survey of patients participating in a clinical trial revealed 85 %of the majority perceived the benefits of sharing de-identified data outweigh any negatives [5].There remains an ongoing debate regarding best practices, merits, challenges and approaches onseeking consent to data sharing [6] – [9].Despite research indicating benefits of sharing data, some researchers are unwilling to reportscientific findings. An investigation of 1329 researchers’ data practices indicates scientists do notmake their research data electronically available to other researchers [10].

For example, a neuroscience research tool called portableelectroencephalogram, or EEG, has been used in cognition-based education research, forexample, on the relationship between brain-to-brain synchrony and learning outcomes [56]. Thistool could be used in engineering education research to capture brain activities; the obtained newdata source could then be integrated with other student data to predict learning outcomes amongengineering students. Another area of challenge that needs to be addressed is creating ethical policies for usingdata analytics methods in research. The limited

It can be taken at any point in the degree program. However, we havefound students hungry to take cyber security courses early in their academic career and thatsecond and third year students are primarily found in the course. The course emphasizes legal,ethical, and professional issues in cyber systems that extend beyond the technical issues coveredin Cpr E 230, Cpr E 231, and Cpr E 331. It covers topics such as privacy, government regulation,and compliance as applied to professional

Freire asserts that critical reflection, or "reflection and actionupon the world in order to transform it,” is a fundamental feature of critical pedagogical praxis[8]. Van Manen elaborates a definition of critical reflection as a form of reflection that “addsmoral and ethical criteria, such as equity and justice,” and locates “analysis of personal actionwithin wider historical, political and social contexts” [9].There are signs that reflective practice within engineering higher education has receivedincreased attention over time [10].

Introduction Demand for undergraduate Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) education continues to grow,driven by persistent need for professionals with technical skills. In addition to core technical knowledge,students embarking on a career in CSE must be ready to combine theory and practice in a context wherethe underlying technology continually changes, projects are large-scale and collaborative, and professionalresponsibility and ethics-based decision-making are critical when products are adopted widely. Manystudents seek hands-on industry internship experiences to complement their in-class instruction andprepare for these

community members. Even as students have good intentions, there is atendency to focus on what seems solvable over what community members indicate are priorities.This is a result of years of outcomes-focused, over relational, educational practices. In theabsence of meaningful relationships, it is easy to lose sight of the purpose of communityengagement. Technologies that students create do not serve the needs of community partners,and community partners suffer as a result.At the same time, engineers’ desire to help and strong work ethic lend themselves well toworking on issues of social justice [3]. In recent years, critical pedagogy has influenced service-learning programs as educators have attempted to engage the action-reflection
