specifically for mobility engineers. Since examination is oneof the pillars toward licensure, the gap reflects the lack of a complete roadmap toward theprofessional career of mobility engineers. It implies the effectiveness of education programs andquality of practice in this field could be undermined. For example, decision making generatedfrom engineering judgment may lack the grounds of widely accepted norms. Besides,engineering practice could be less tracked, disciplined, or protected. Eventually, less regulatedpractice could lead to adverse impacts on public safety as well as the health of the engineeringcommunity.One of the most important purposes of professional engineering licensure is to provide assuranceto the public of a minimum level of

into conversation with NASA engineers, scientists, and managers, to discussthe long term ethical and societal implications of NASA’s human space exploration efforts fromthe Moon to Mars. Whereas some ASEE ethics division research focuses on the impact ofeducational discussions on students, ours involved practicing engineers as well as managers andpolicy analysts who shape the future of major engineering endeavors. While we will describe thiscase study in subsequent sections, we will point out some specific points of content in the reportnow, that may best serve as bridges for engaging in the engineering education literature.This paper seeks to further explore the concepts described in the workshop report, particularly asthey relate to

educational design that isbalanced, in part, by other facets of GEL. For instance, GEL students participate elsewhere in amulti-week team project, where success rests on a range of capabilities, as part of their courseworkfor the program’s Design and Innovation Leadership Requirement. Further, students select a long-duration engineering project for a leadership post-mortem analysis as the basis for an essayassignment in the EL seminar course. Yet, in ELL, keeping the activities restricted in time andscope allows greater emphasis to be placed on a narrower range of capabilities, which, in turn,allows for timely and focused feedback that is commensurately scoped. GEL is thereforecomposed of both deep practice opportunities in particular capabilities

Practical course evaluation is conduciveto presenting students' learning effects and subsequent course improvement. In theexisting research and practice, the evaluation of engineering ethics education focusingon students' learning output has produced many positive results. On this basis, fromthe perspective of the sustainable development of the curriculum and benefiting morestudents, this study proposes

herintroductory videos, Gentile shares an anecdote from her experience taking a padded assailantself-defense course in the “Model Mugging” system [12]. In the words of transformativelearning researcher Christina Schlattner, the program uses “scenarios which verbally andphysically simulate an actual attack—with many added guard rails to protect against physical orpsychological harm. The class is typically led by one female instructor/coach and one maleinstructor/mugger and is assisted by graduates of the program who provide logistical support forthe instructors and emotional support for participants” [13, p. 837]. Many training centers in thesystem have switched their name from “Model Mugging” to “Impact” or “Impact Safety”training, and the roles of the
