Center for Neurotechnology has beenoperating since 2012 with summer cohorts ranging in size from two to seven teachers. Theprogram accepts middle and high school STEM teachers (grades six through twelve) from localpublic and independent schools. Most often, science teachers apply to the program from life andphysical sciences disciplines, but several teachers representing computer science andmathematics disciplines have also participated. Teachers receive a stipend for participation in theseven-week program. For additional details on program design, see [17]. Note that the RETprogram in 2020 and the planned program for 2021 have been adapted to be a fully remoteexperience given the constraints imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.The RET program

I refer to this particularchallenge as humanizing the technical content of signals and systems.

(2011) considered attitude, subjective norm, moral judgment andperceived importance as the influencing factors of ethical behavioral intention based on theTheory of Planned Action. Renwick and Riemenschneider (2013) proposed a model ofethical decision-making among IT students and showed that moral judgment is the mostimportant indicator of ethical intention.The theoretical foundations of this research are based on the Theory of Perceived Possibilityof Disclosure1 presented by Bolhari et al.

This could point to a missing link withrespect to developing a professional sense of social responsibility in engineers that could drawfrom the existing HSS influences that students reported. One student actually discussed howtheir humanities class influenced them negatively with respect to their views of engineering,saying: “Mostly the humanities, the engineering classes I took made me realize how irrelevant my major (mechanical engineering) is to making a difference in the world. I don't plan on using my major for anything in the future- planning on shifting my career path to the humanities/social sciences.”This response came from a female, senior engineering student who

The model used was used to explainhow PTO, SOC and BFP all played a role in predicting ethical awareness. To increase thestrength of the study, some questions were created to measure the opposite of the intendedvariable. For example, one of the questions measuring the personal subfactor from the spheres ofcontrol is, “I usually do not set goals because I have a hard time following through on them,” iscounterbalanced by the question “Once I make plans, I am almost certain to make them work.”Because of this difference, many of the scales had to be reverse coded to fit into the models forconfirmatory factor analysis
