,economic issues, and workplace dynamics as reasons for engineers to value diversity.Social justice can be defined as “…full and equal participation of all groups in a society that ismutually shaped to meet their needs” (Adams, Bell and Griffin 2007). This definition relates toengineering in more than one way. First, to achieve social justice, all members of society withthe interest and aptitude must have the opportunity to fully participate in engineering practices.Thus the changing demographics of the United States might be one reason engineers should careabout diversity (Change the Equation, 2015).

). Valli (1997, p. 70) asserts that “[Reflectiveteachers] can look back on events; make judgments about them; and alter their teachingbehaviors in light of craft, research, and ethical knowledge. Teachers who are unreflective wouldbe limited in their ability to make good decisions, to consider the consequences of their actions,or to alter their actions”. Loughran (2002, p.35) adds that “experience alone does not lead tolearning; reflection on experience is essential”. Additionally, adequate reflection requiresconsideration of alternate perspectives as well as one’s own, for the purpose of reframing theproblem for deeper understanding (Schӧn, 1987). It is for this reason that reflection in thecontext of considering peer observation feedback is

Informed by both internal program evaluations of current and prior programs and externalassessments in the engineering education literature [1, 2], the review revealed that while therehad been significant progress made in diffusing engineering education innovations in first-yearengineering and in capstone design, change had been much slower in the middle years of thecurriculum.

Even the sustainability is included in ABET design considerations, it is not very often fullydiscussed in student projects. However, students have often expressed the desire for the inclusionof renewable energy projects and sustainability concepts in senior design course sequence [6-10]. Such projects are providing multi-disciplinary collaboration, valuable hands-on experience, aswell as a working demonstration of green energy and design.

of individual assessments (points in time) are stated, includingbreadth and depth limitations, coverage limitations, and circumstantial limitations.Since Nyquist-Shannon’s sampling theorem uses ideal sampling to address the question ofsampling frequency, and because ideal sampling is based on the so-called unit impulse function,the widely accepted one-or-two-hour exam is suggested as a practical approximation of the unitimpulse function. Under this assumption, it is argued that an adequately weighted homeworkassignment could also be considered as a practical approximation of the unit impulse function,provided a high ethical standard is adhered to. This brings up the issues of ethics and plagiarismin modern engineering schools, and the need

This requires anenhanced curriculum with a focus on student teamwork, a greater consideration of social context,improved communication with diverse constituents, and reflection on an ethical understanding oftheir decisions and solutions. Effective faculty members need to mirror these values and skills intheir instruction and mentoring. Efforts have begun to reimagine the “engineering canon” whichrequires a shift from positioning engineering as a purely technical endeavor to framing it associo-technical. We are developing a new General Engineering program that incorporates thisperspective [30].
