greaterthan 0.8. Based upon our anecdotal observations of working with problem teams, resolvingconflict, and motivating challenging students, we thought there would be a much lowerpercentage of respondents who reported levels of psychological safety above 0.80. That said, there is a large minority (41% of respondents) who we are classifying as having adifficult time (< 0.80). Part of the motivation for this study is to ensure students have positiveteamwork experiences, especially during the capstone project. The capstone project is the finaldress rehearsal for professional work, and we hope students enter professional life with the skillsand attitudes to work effectively in teams. The gender gap between male (0.82) and female (0.75

engineering students (approximately 4,500 seniors)spread across 15 departments, so assessing all senior capstone students is not feasible. For thisiteration of our research, we collected responses from students in as many different departmentsas possible, recognizing that the distribution of the survey is instructor dependent.At TAMU, all undergraduate engineering capstone projects are completed as team assignments,so students have the opportunity to develop and practice teamwork skills. However, theinstruction provided on psychological safety and effective teamwork varies greatly fromdepartment to department and even from instructor to instructor. TAMU has a selectiveleadership development program that includes instruction and practice in related

coverage is included in programs’ cores, how is the learning operationalized toreinforce it as being integral to engineering leadership practice? Proposals for embedding ethicsinstruction more integrally within engineering coursework have included increasing the emphasison human-centric approaches to design on engineering team projects [10, 17], mitigating orreducing the isolation of ethics instruction from other aspects of courses and projects [8, 13], andincreasing the use of experiential learning approaches for ethics instruction [12, 17 - 20], among 18 19others. As this paper’s central focus, we illustrate how an ethical reasoning challenge can

. Therefore, in an upper-division setting, it might be most appropriate in a project-based or capstone course. However, it could also be used in other upper-level technical coursesif students were encouraged to leverage the teachings in other project-based courses.Furthermore, this research took great efforts to create a model that could be widely applied. Itsmodular nature enables it to be easily integrated in existing courses, with required instructionalresources available in the Appendices. This facility also supports scaling the activities across abroad range of institutional settings. Finally, its use of identity as a core guiding framework maygive the instruction flexibility in being effective in a variety of settings. This is becauseregardless
