William (2013) suggests that mission and visionstatements, diversity plans, diversity reports, and academic and strategic plans can provide aholistic representation of the normative values, beliefs, and ideologies espoused by an institutionof higher education, in addition to also delineating strategies for achieving them [19].

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.

A separate syllabus, course plan, and deliverables were used with the EM and ISEstudents, who were taught together in one combined section.Every student in the study created pre- and post-course concept maps of their individualunderstanding of product design. They were first introduced to concept maps along with someexamples, and then they were instructed to individually “draw a concept map that embodies theconcept of ‘product design.’” From these submissions, the research team was able to assess thefrequency of the presence of different concepts and relationships in the maps, allowingcomparisons across major programs as

efforts have aimed to provide a holistic engineering education [1], producing T-shaped engineers [2] who possess broad knowledge across disciplines with deep expertise intheir domain. We have seen many pedagogical advances, such as team-based learning, problem-based learning, experiential learning, and creative learning using virtual reality, to name a few.The core driver for this change stems from the need for engineering education to prepareengineers to stay relevant and to contribute to society in the face of rapid global change andadvancement in information and technology.These trends have been the main motivator for integrating liberal studies and engineering.Bucciarelli and Drew laid out a “design plan” for liberal studies in engineering
