andpractitioners,3 there has been less definitive progress on integrating ethics into pedagogy andpractice.13,14 We adopt the “everyday ethics” view from science and technology studies (STS)14,15that views ethics as inherently interwoven throughout the design process and manifest in themicro-decisions and practices of design work. As a step toward developing more effectiveintegration of technical and ethical considerations in student design work, this study explores howthese two design considerations emerge as relational components of team-based design work.That is, we probe how perceptions of team members’ technical and ethical competence mayimpact the social environment in which design work is achieved. We specifically considered thecommunicative

motivations for this include “accommodation” of student interests andpreferences in hopes of influencing student learning outcomes and team effectiveness, whileproviding an efficient and fair method of assigning students to project teams.3. Objectives, Assumptions and MethodologyIn the interest of understanding how team selection might impact project results in a capstonesetting, we collected and analyzed data on over eight-two capstone project teams over foursemesters. The data consisted of a combination of quantitative and qualitative parametersincluding academic performance, practical engineering experience, career interests, projectpreferences, personality, and technical skills used to assign individual students to project teamsover four

Aftercompletion of the post-block task, participants were interviewed by a study team member. During this follow-upinterview, participants were asked about their experience progressing through the learning blocks as well as theiropinions on the learning block model overall. The interview also included questions specific to learning gains andfuture application of newly developed stakeholder interviewing skills.Study ParticipantsParticipants were recruited through targeted emails to undergraduate and graduate engineering students.Qualifications included being enrolled as a current student majoring in an engineering discipline and reporting

engineers capable of solving the grand challenges this new century brings.Reviewing the LiteratureStudent engagement theory pioneer Alexander Astin hypothesized that the more involved astudent is socially and academically in college, the more he or she will learn due to increases inmotivation and interaction with faculty, fellow students, and other campus activities. 4,5,6Unfortunately Astin found that choosing an engineering major had “negative effects on a varietyof satisfaction outcomes: faculty, quality of instruction, Student Life, opportunities to takeinterdisciplinary courses, … the overall college experience, … writing skills, listening skills,[and] Cultural Awareness.”6 He did find that engineering majors reported the highest growth
