focuses on a group of five to six students discussing a complex, real-world scenario that includes current, multi-faceted, multidisciplinary engineering issues. Beforethe 30-45 minute long discussion begins, student participants all read a short scenario thatpresents some technical and non-technical details of the topic.Table 1 presents a summary of sample scenarios. As part of the EPSA, students are asked todetermine the most important problem/s and to discuss stakeholders, impacts, unknowns, andpossible solutions. Examples of the scenarios used in the EPSA are presented in Appendix A. Page 24.1349.2  Table 1. Summary of Sample ScenariosEnergy

The intention is to create a group of scholars representing differentSTEM majors, academic years, gender, race, socioeconomic background, and culturalexperience. Scholars are awarded a $5,000 scholarship (providing significant tuition assistance)which is renewable for up to three years. These scholarships are funded by a National ScienceFoundation S-STEM grant and the selected students must have demonstrated financial need andan eligible declared major (Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Information Technology;Electrical, Computer, Civil

Are therealternative theoretical bases that better account for the ethical considerations faced by engineersduring

Challenges16-19. Whileethics instruction is common in first year engineering courses20-25, this instruction may notinclude social responsibility as a macroethical imperative. Some curricula with an ethics threadeducate students about macroethical issues in later years, such as a third-year course with ethicsintegration at Drexel26. Another way that engineering students may come to appreciate theimportance of social responsibility is via service-learning (S-L) courses, which is the basis forsome first year projects / design courses27-32.An emphasis on social responsibility within engineering may be significant beyond its intrinsicimportance to individuals and society. There may be important implications of SR for the
