service learning, introductory materials engineering, biomedical materials design, and tribology. Dr. Harding has published numerous manuscripts in the area of ethical development of engineering undergraduates through application of psycho-social models of moral expertise. He also conducts research in student motivation, service learning, and project-based learning. His technical research is focused on degradation of biomedical materials in vitro. He currently serves as Associate Editor of the online journal Advances in Engineering Education, is Chair of the ASEE Materials Division, and ERM Program Chair for the 2010 ASEE Annual Conference. Dr. Harding was invited to deliver a workshop on

musical instrument design focus is the popular debateabout the “secrets” of Stradivarius violins, although the answer to that debate is much less clearfrom a materials science point of view. Another significant difference between the two focusareas is that ethics and recalls are easily connected to biomedical devices in accessible andpersonally meaningful ways. When the musical instrument approach was used, other unrelatedcase studies, such as the loss of Alaska Air Flight 261 (a deeply meaningful one in our region),were used, for these course dimensions. So, no comparisons are possible in the ethics SLOs.Figure 9 compares student outcomes in several conceptual areas before and after the use ofbiomedical devices were used as a foundation for
