more authentic moral commitment than chicanery. Moreover, the strictmetrics for accomplishing good made clear sense of MacAskill’s claims that EA has alwaysrecruited most successfully in STEM fields [2], appealing to a small subset of philanthropicquants that he affectionately but self-consciously labels “moral weirdos” [3]. EA amounts to acutting-edge version of utilitarianism’s traditional appeal among those students. Nelson andPeterson’s 1982 title might overgeneralize—“If You’re an Engineer, You’re Probably aUtilitarian”—but it’s hard to argue with their assessment that the utilitarian’s methodical“quantification is attractive to engineers.” [4]For ASEE and LEES, that attraction is worth examining for several reasons. First, EA creates

One of its applications is a market-oriented approach where companies can becertified if they follow the responsible forest management standards and guidelinesestablished by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) [26]. The FSC is an international non-profit organization that advocates for sustainable forestry. FSC certifies companies as “foreststewards” [27] when they demonstrate zero deforestation, protection of animals and plants,fair compensation for workers, and respect for local communities’ rights. As of 2019, theCanadian province of British Columbia was the region with the most forest stewardsworldwide [28].Stewardship in Indigenous ContextsIn a variety of Indigenous
Riddle Aeronautical UniversityKatrina Robertson, Embry Riddle Aeronautical UniversityTrey Talko, Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Small Shifts: New Methods for Improving Communication Experiences for Women in Early Engineering Courses Abstract: This paper outlines methods and initial data from an educational intervention based on previous research published at ASEE. Students in introductory engineering courses face challenges communicating and integrating their ideas in team projects. Often these challenges with team communication fall along gendered lines, where women students experience marginalization in team settings. This paper builds from previous research in the field of engineering education which integrated
they do not continue reproducing unfair neo-colonial practices andassumptions of past development practices. Here we explore how STS concepts have servedengineering students to develop critical praxis, a more robust and responsible understanding ofthe relationships between engineering faculty, students, and communities, and the materialand social worlds in which they are embedded, using community development projects relatedto artisanal gold mining, inclusive management of electronic waste, and water access forunderserved communities as examples.BackgroundAs shown in our 2022 ASEE paper [1], pedagogies of formation are explorations that implicatethe self in questioning “what engineering is for” and how answers to these questions begin toshow

She received her PhD in physics at the Uni- versity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2019, where she focused on mastery-style online learning for engineers in a large preparatory physics course. In her postdoctoral work at Texas State University, she co-developed and implemented curricula to engage students in conversations about ethics, science and society, with a research interest in how to best support students and instructors in these conversations. She recently finished a AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowship at the National Science Foundation, supporting and working with the Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) Program.
