responsibility in corporate and team contexts. Like several othersessions at this year’s conference, the papers emphasized the importance of students learning toread and analyze the complex structures in which people act. Foreshadowing Deborah Johnson’sdistinguished lecture, the presentations and discussion examined moral accountability as a socialprocess, as an aspirational ideal, and as a set of skills (as opposed to just being opinions). Theyalso explored the connection between engineering ethics and social justice.  The papers in session T534: Imagining Others, Defining Self Through Consideration of Ethicaland Social Implications dealt with the need for and challenges of integrating ethical and socialconsiderations (ESI) into engineering education

Two studentsapproached me about doing “mock bids” for the raising of the bridge roadbed as one of theirprojects in the coming year. This was the beginning of the special dynamic that wouldcharacterize the Engineering class. The projects would be competitive and award winning, andthe students would run the class, with the teacher acting as mentor and guide.

, the STEM elements that are inherent in making can be made all the moreobvious. This could be attributed to one of three ways. First, it situates making in contexts thatare personal, culturally, socially relevant to students. Second, it can encourage students to be partof a production pipeline and contribute to something novel and useful to society. Third,involvement in this form of making places students in long-term scenarios acting as Makers fullyengaging in STEM. We believe this approach to making can enable students to gain a holisticview of their making ability as well understand how developed knowledge can be transferred.This reflects Grotevant’s process of identity formation as arising out of continual exploration andevaluation 9

During class, I primarily play the role of mentor, and I also employ a skilledundergraduate peer tutor to provide further consultation opportunities. In past instances of myuse of the inverted classroom, many students could still ‘opt out’ or ‘hide’ by choosing not to askor answer questions.

The mentors recorded studentattendance, graded homework assignments, and assisted in class in many ways. They providedadministrative support for the PI and Program Manager and helped with the smooth operation ofmeetings and events.

The historically successful and evidence-based SI program wasintroduced at the University of Texas at Austin in 2015 through a collaboration between theSchool of Engineering and the campus Learning Center. The supported courses include freshmanlevel introductory courses to Electrical Engineering and Computing (ECE). These are requiredcourses for the ECE students at the university, and report high percentages of D’s, F’s, Q’s(drops), and W’s

The projects are designed tobe solved by student teams, who are told they are acting as consultants on the project posed(TAMU 2). As the problems posed are more realistic than standard homework assignments, thestructures to be analyzed are more complex and computer software applications are used to solvethe numerical component of the projects.

Innovative engineers, thus, must balance between creative abilities and technicalknowledge. Prior studies indicate that students often struggle with the creative side ofinnovation, both in terms of identifying creative solutions2,14 and valuing the role creativity playsin engineering design16. This study adds to these findings by suggesting that many engineeringstudents associate with the identity of the technical problem-solver. These students limit thesolutions they can consider by avoiding solutions they do not immediately identify as feasible,adhering to the approaches and knowledge of their home discipline, and

To accomplish these analyses,the researchers performed open coding of the text as a whole, noting passages that evidenced theinterpretative repertoire offered by various Discourses in the form of familiar arguments,terminology, metaphors, themes, imagery, and various linguistic devices, and analyzed the wayin which the participants drew upon them in order to describe, explain, or justify their statementsand descriptions of both their personal identity as an engineer and member of their team and

. This increases the exchange of ideas between students and improves their collaborative skills. Students that have questions will benefit from the fact that they are being taught the correct approach to solve the problem. There is also the added benefit that the students are learning from a peer, which may encourage the students to question each other more freely. Fellow students that are currently in the process of undergoing the same learning curve might be able to understand each other's perspective and questions better. Additionally, teaching a fellow student within the group helps to crystallize the understanding of the subject matter for the student that is teaching the material because the act of teaching is considered to
