Universities hope tograduate ethical engineers, but may not have intentionality about the education towards civicresponsibility. Lin and Hess[2] argued that civic responsibility requires special attention inengineering education. Hess and Zola[3] found that few youth

Students in the control group also completedthree exams, a final group project which included a written report, and a final exam as part of thecourse. Although the final project includes a writing aspect, the grade students receive isessentially for completion (i.e., students who meet the requirements receive full credit).

Thus, culture depends on its participants interpreting meaningfully what is happening around them, and “making sense” of the world, in broadly similar ways.
