engineering courses. Taking into account the comments provided byreviews and past students’ comments a new policy that addressed these concerns was developed(See Appendix A).In addition the methodology for the review process was explained more diligently, since thestudents had not yet experienced peer review in other engineering courses. The policy wasintroduced early in the semester, combining it with a discussion on professional responsibilityand ethics. This took about two-thirds of a lesson and included examples and details of what was Page 11.988.8to be done and why. The material value of peer review was discussed with an example of howthe
15% of students reported participation in aURE; non-URE students were used as a comparison group. The comparison group of non-UREstudents in our survey was not based on a true, experimental research design of randomassignment to groups for obvious ethical and legal reasons. But it does provide a usefulcomparison (albeit with limitations). First, we looked for patterns in the data that would providesome insight into three hypothesized claims (see below) for our YES program. We thencompared our findings with five studies, two of which are described here: a study of 76 risingseniors in eight science disciplines at four liberal arts schools by Seymour et al.1 and a study of1,135 students (primarily in engineering and the sciences) surveyed at 41

serving communities in need.The history of service-learning shows it embraced by early adopters as more than just apedagogy, but as a philosophy as well. In service-learning there is an underlying belief that thecommunity deserves to be served and that it is the role of colleges and universities to assist inserving them. This ethic is especially strong in attention to underserved communities. Thereforeservice-learning philosophy is the best fit with institutions, departments, and/or individuals whobelieve in this attitude of mission.2.3 Definition of service-learningThere have been many definitions for service-learning in the literature over the years [e.g.,(Jacoby, 1996), (Bringle, Hatcher, & Games, 1997), (Stanton, Giles, & Cruz, 1999
instructors and students from the engineeringFaculty of the university. The survey was part of a larger research project that received the approvalof the research ethics board of the university. We included four groups of variables for analysis in light of the conceptual framework for thisstudy and used the general Input-Environment-Outcome framework to assess learning experience andoutcomes in postsecondary education [32, 33]. The focus of interest for the study was self-directedlearning. We included five measures—motivation for learning, time management, self-regulation,persistence, and help-seeking—to serve as the self-directed learning (SDL) indicators as theyrepresent the key characteristics of self-directed learners [10].

As a result of the Great Expectations Project, the learning objectivesassociated with this module have been amended so as to better emphasize the need forindividual and organizational social and ethical awareness. The assessment for this modulehas been altered to encourage graduate students to use their engineering and analytical skillsto work with non-profit heritage sites within the UK.In considering the individual and employment related drivers, one of the paper authors hasdeveloped and introduced a new graduate learning strategy which has been disseminatedacross the School of Engineering.

competent field. The National Academy of Engineering, for example,have stated in their vision of “The Engineer of 2020” that engineering activities should beframed in the context of rapidly moving technological changes, global interconnection ofresources, and an increasingly diverse and multidisciplinary population of individuals involvedin or affected by engineering developments. Among the NAE aspirations for the engineeringfield is “a future where engineers are prepared to adapt to changes in global forces and trendsand to ethically assist the world in creating a balance in the standard of living for developing anddeveloped countries alike”3. This vision reflects the need to embrace global competencies framedwithin ethical considerations, where
, increasing their motivation tolearn and persist when faced with failure or challenges, and they further develop an engineeringmindset. Consistent with the most recent Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) [11], makerspaces may increase the ability to meet the expected student outcomes forengineering preparation programs [8]. Thus, makerspaces can be used to increase students’ability to apply STEM knowledge, conduct experiments, analyze the outcomes of thoseexperiments, work within constraints, work in teams, understand engineering as service tosociety, and understand their professional and ethical responsibilities. It is important to keep inmind many engineers working in large companies may never directly create a prototype as
approaches his/her work. Vincenti describes“normal” engineering as a social interaction that serves practical needs9. Public safety standardsand client desires must factor into the thinking of the engineer. Similarly, Davis finds thatengineering work is rooted in ethics10. Engineers have to weigh options, give reasons to pick oneoption and explain the reasoning for that option. Ethical questions critically factor into thisanalysis. Will this be safe? Will it be of high enough quality? Does it meet standards? But, asmentioned above, it’s not a simple analysis as organization factors of budgets and timeconstraints come into play. It’s an interplay of technical, organizational and public constraints.Furthermore, Bucciarelli notes that design engineers
Daydiscussion is at the beginning of each class (two or three students present in each class). Thisapproach engages the students from the beginning of the class to be active, attentive and engage.As an example – in the Engineering Management Concepts course, the students will look for amanagement related news or event and present it. They could be on human resources management,engineering management or engineering ethics, etc. The student opens the URL for the class andstarts the discussion. In the Sustainability courses, students will bring news items (or events)directly relating to the sustainability – energy, water, environment, policy, equity or economics. Inthe Globalization class, with so much going on the world today students bring latest topics

The MEA frameworkpresents opportunities to address the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) criteria, especially the
case of engineering students he would likely have needed to delete the “early to bed” part.Weber’s famous formulation of the Protestant work ethic10 also comes to mind. Weber arguedthat the Protestant work ethic was the motor that drove the rise of capitalism in Northern Europe.Where the Protestant work ethic differs, with its focus on hard work and earning more and moremoney, is that the paradise that hard work promises is a decidedly more earthly one forengineering students.Yet we worry about this combination of beliefs in the context of some of the goals we believe tobe widely shared within the engineering education reform community. One of those goals isclearly to promote an image of engineering as a force of good in the world—that leads

PracticalAction to design simulated learning experiences that incorporate concerns of marginalizedcommunities. Traditional poverty alleviation design challenges focus on creating solutions toproblems that differentially affect people living in poverty. Five of the fourteen “GrandChallenges”78 of Engineering—make solar energy economical, provide access to clean water,restore and improve urban infrastructure, manage the nitrogen cycle, and advance personalizedlearning—have particular relevance to alleviating poverty. Innovative engineering educatorshave suggested that design for large-scale social issues brings together technical prototypingskills and professional engineering ethics.9, 79, 80 Simulating design in marginalized communitiesallows educators to

The activity needs to encourage the students to create simplemodels for complex situations. The underlying concepts must be important ideas.

Empowerment can take different dimensions, and there are nobounds to what it looks like. The crux of empowerment is its result, not its process.Why empower stakeholders to develop a shared vision for change?Stakeholder empowerment is not a strategy to eliminate resistance, although it may have thateffect. Its real goal is to preempt ethical issues in a change process. In an age when “most of thecurrent ethical frameworks for organizations, as well as in society
