A strong professionally connected socialresponsibility attitude can motivate towards action; personal willingness connects withprofessional abilities to recognize the power and opportunity s/he has to make a positive change.Figure 1: Canney and Bielefeldt’s Professional Social Responsibility Development Model[7, pg. 418]In this research, our initial hypothesis was that positive changes in students’ desires to work forcompanies or firms with good reputations for social responsibility would be at least partiallyexplained by students coming to recognize CSR as a sociotechnical activity. CSR is an
change how all engineers think,communicate, and collaborate, and that the activity of deliberate ASL vocabulary creation servesas one example of how this might happen. In this paper, we position sign creation as a locus forexamining the construction of engineering meaning.This paper centers on two illustrative case studies in engineering sign development: (1) thestress-strain curve and (2) affordance theory. For each case study, we begin by describing thenew sign prototypes and how they fit the concept(s) they attempt to describe. We compare thenew sign to previous options for signing each concept, contextualizing them as examples of thecolonized/assimilated nature of Deaf Education in the United States. We then provide thebackstory for the
challenges and created things but in those situations we have been so product driven and obsessed with having something that works that we have often skipped over crucial steps in this ideation process. […] I had also never tried to solve a customer driven problem and I found the customer discovery process to be incredibly fascinating.Another student reflected on their personal role within groups and stated, “This class providedme the opportunity to get a good look of how I work in groups. It made me truly realize thateveryone needs to take initiative and be actively engaged for the group to function.”One student reflected on the role s/he played as well as mistakes made in regards to groupparticipation and interaction.

The public school systems in New Orleans prior to Katrina consistedof roughly 65,000 students spread among ~4,000 teachers with a predominantly (~93%) blackpopulation. The term ‘white flight’ was coined in the mid 1900’s to represent the drain of whitefamilies from inner city to suburban neighborhoods after desegregation. In the late 80’s to

much explicit, named attention has reflection received inengineering education scholarship and how do we interpret these results? To answer thisquestion, we conducted a systematic literature review of all conference publications from theAmerican Society of Engineering Education (ASEE). Our exploration sought to answer thisquestion by assessing the number of papers that explicitly mention reflection.BackgroundReflection can be described as, “...an intentional and dialectical thinking process where anindividual revisits features of an experience with which he/she is aware and uses one or morelenses in order to assign meaning(s) to the experience that can guide future action (and thusfuture experience).”4 This intentional process can be used as

See, for example, https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/overview-summary.html.Much of the instruction in the microprocessors course requires students to integrate material frommultiple sources. For example, the function shown in Figure 1(a) also depends on understandingof a timer provided in the textbook used in the course, and specific reference to the definition ofbits in timer 2’s control register which is provided in the microcontroller’s datasheet.

questions on a specific ‘exemplary’ course(s); i.e.,one that explicitly embedded content on engineering ethics. For example, “Was learning aboutethics and/or societal impacts in this course helpful to you in your work? If so, please explain.”The survey then asked about the importance of ethics/societal issues in engineering/computingwork, courses and co-curricular activities in college that impacted their ethical reasoning, andrating the level to which they felt adequately prepared to face ethical issues in their work (1 to 10scale). The survey concluded with the frequency they had encountered various ethical issues intheir work and demographic items (e.g., year they took exemplar course, year graduated with BSdegree, undergraduate major, graduate
andexpectations for the profession). Today, after the launch of EC 20002 and the Engineer of 20203,negotiations between the culture/utility function continue. Leyden and Schneider recognize EC 2000’s Criterion 3 as an important driver in thechanges in FYC programs, and as an important factor within the culture/utility debate. They notethat of the 11 abilities specified for graduating engineers, only 4 of them are primarily technical.They divide the abilities in the following ways1: Engineering programs must demonstrate that their graduates have a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data
