Students were then asked to interview non-engineers to get feedback on theperception of engineering decisions accounting for end user perspectives. This was followed upwith a final assignment in which students reflected on watching portions of an ASEE sessionpanel of activists giving their experiences around specific engineering crisis (CommunityEngagement Panel, 2019).

engineering faculty found problem-solving, akin to criticalthinking, to be the single most important competency for engineers [39]. Critical thinking isassociated with many aspects of ABET Student Outcomes. Not only does it address problemsolving and analysis, but the process of argumentation cultivates communication skills that areessential to collaboration. Being self-critical keeps one open-minded to learn and solve problemsboth alone and in groups. Lastly, the process and spirit of inquiry is a necessary driver in self-directed, lifelong learning [19]. Despite its accepted importance, engineering graduatesconsistently fall short in critical thinking skills according to employers [29], [39], [40].According to a 2019 literature review, established

Within a class of 58 students, two had severe concussions (and were unable to dowork for at least 2 weeks), another was hospitalized more than 1 week. As seniors, these studentsknew to reach out and let me know. Among first-year students I would often not find out aboutissues – the students would simply stop coming to class and not respond to emails. I would laterfind out a severe issue had occurred when the Dean’s office would retroactively withdraw thestudent from all courses, etc. Even more troubling: three suicides (at least) among engineeringstudents (college wide) in one academic year.

American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Work-in-Progress: Emotion and Intuition in Engineering Students’ Ethical Decision-making and Implications for Engineering Ethics EducationAbstractRecent research in moral psychology suggests that people often rely on emotion and intuition tomake moral judgments, rather than reasoning, which engineering ethics education has mainlyfocused on. In parallel with such findings, studies in the scholarship of engineering ethics haveemphasized the importance of emotional capacities of engineers and considered how toincorporate emotional factors into the ethics education of engineering students. Despite growinginterest in the importance of emotional aspects of engineering ethics education, however
