trainingSome educators may argue that the existing computer science ethics education does not impactstudent views on algorithm bias and their professional knowledge. Indeed, taking one or possiblytwo engineering ethics courses as part of a degree program may not have a lasting impact onstudents embarking on professional careers. However, alternatives to semester-long ethicscourses may be more effective and impactful. In a systematic literature review on engineeringethics education, Hess​13​ (2018) suggests integrating micro-insertions of ethical decision-makingacross the curriculum. For example, the micro-insertion of asking students to choose betweentwo refrigerants by weighing not only environmental impacts but also adding costconsiderations​14

The focus of this work-in-progress is tobetter understand how these factors manifest in the micro-level interactions that take place withinan engineering curriculum as part of an engineering design process. In this case, we areinterested in how gender composition might affect the ways engineering teams engage in andtalk during brainstorming activities.To do so, we developed an exploratory, mixed-methods study to examine potential factors thatmight influence ideation effectiveness for engineering teams. The present work is focused on ourqualitative codebook development related to the ways power manifests in conversation duringbrainstorming.Engineering Design Processes and Conceptual DesignThe engineering

Project Ponderosa – Bridging Engineering Education to Vocational Training Dr. Scott Boskovich, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, CA 91768 and Dr. Chris Burns, Boys Republic, Chino Hills, CA 91709AbstractThe application of robotics and automation in industry continues to be an increasing area ofgrowth. Subsequently, this requires an increased demand for design engineering students as wellas knowledgeable users trained for equipment maintenance. However, this can becomeproblematic to adequately provide a realistic environment for both teaching design of roboticssystems as well as the maintenance. In recent years
