mitigation plans. Safety training is also an integral part of creating a culturethat has safety in mind, first and foremost.Recently, universities have started to place emphasis on safety and incorporate relevant coursesin their degree plans. At the University of Houston-Downtown (UHD), students from the safetymanagement program have the opportunity to work alongside engineering technology studentsduring the design and implementation stages of a senior capstone project. Safety managementstudents benefit from this interaction by getting an opportunity to apply their knowledge andskills to a project that attempts to mimic a “real” life process. Similarly, engineering technologystudents become aware of methods to assess risks and procedures that must
they are not in a position to make design or implementation decisions thatcould have the sort of monumental effects illustrated in textbook cases. With this in mind, it isunsurprising that students sometimes protest that engineering ethics courses are a distractionfrom their priority to improve technical skills because they believe — for better or worse — thatit is those technical skills alone which will make them employable and make them a successfulengineer [9].Finally, it is common to find that engineering ethics is concentrated in a single course at thesophomore level in an otherwise very tightly packed technical curriculum. While other facultyare not officially discouraged from incorporating ethics into their curricula, the fact that3

is consistently on the higher end of the required and offered course spectrum. This isimportant to keep in mind when researching and working within engineering education –different disciplines have their own cultures and mores [32]. Second, even in the face ofinstitutional isomorphisms – the phenomenon of institutions in different contexts having similarstructures, like program requirements [33] – there are still pockets of innovation. We know thisfrom NSF publications on exemplars of engineering ethics education [7]. Publications like thatand studies like this one raise the question about what it takes to achieve these patches of higherethics presence in engineering education. Thinking about answers to this question from both astructural

progresses. This places those studentsat a disadvantage relative to their peers, as they have difficulty understanding and masteringadvanced topics. The knowledge gap also often results in the repetition of topics and prolongedlab sessions, as well as more serious issues such as the mishandling of equipment.STEM instruction typically is based on verbal, deductive, reflective, and sequential learningmethods. However, studies show that students in science and engineering programs tend to dowell with visual, inductive, active, and global learning methods. With this information in mind,we developed custom pre-lab videos to address the knowledge gap. The pre-lab videosdemonstrate basic usage and implementation of laboratory equipment, software tools

rate fell over 20 percentage points and that the student participationrate declined significantly. This indicated to us that the FE Review course was no longeradequately preparing the students to pass the FE exam. In the original format, students wereideally prepared to take the exam immediately following the end of the course, but under theCBT format the exam can be taken almost any time throughout the year. With this in mind, wedecided to revamp the course to make it more flexible, allowing students to review material inareas where they need help and do so closer to the time when they would take the exam.There are a number of commercial FE review courses available, but our engineering GenZdesign team chose to develop a course for our
