Ethics in an Introductory Bioengineering Course (Work In Progress)IntroductionEthics and diversity are critical components of engineering training and practice, but mostundergraduate engineering programs do not address these issues in-depth [1-3]. In this work-in-progress, we describe the design and implementation of a novel curriculum that allows earlyengineering students to explore the interplay of diversity and ethics in an engineering context.Importantly, our curriculum can be incorporated into any engineering course, and thus serves asa model for educators in any engineering discipline.This work-in-progress describes student response to three rounds of pilot efforts [4] and how weare developing and implementing the first

The camp follows a project-based curriculum using entry-level Robotics Kits and is designed to integrate Art, Computer Science and Engineering, and English to foster and strengthen computational thinking and design, programming, and communication skills. Additionally, given the nature of the Internet in the 21st Century, cyber safety will be emphasized and girls will have the opportunity to learn about how computer crimes are investigated.

During the development of the fidelity checklist, the necessary timerequired for participants to gain the knowledge, skill or ability is predetermined. The actual timedevoted to the component is recorded on the checklist. Finally, the responsiveness of theaudience is also recorded. Here the evaluator is determining the audience’s engagement with thecontent (Gerstner & Finney, 2013). By assessing the training program in this way, a morethorough understanding of the program components can be assessed and the intended curriculumversus the presented curriculum can be evaluated holistically.An implementation fidelity assessment provides an environment where programmaticcomponents are articulated

Mississippi State University, a predominately white institution, iscommitted to creating an educational environment of inclusiveness and high academic excellence.This environment is fostered to enable students to persist in the engineering curriculum, graduatewith an engineering degree, and allow for exposure to research and graduate school opportunities.By promoting a culturally diverse environment, the College of Engineering seeks to increase theparticipation of minorities and women in the field of engineering and to close the social gaps ofunderrepresented minority students. In the fall 2013 first-time incoming freshmen in engineeringconsisted of 637 students with 531 (83%) of students being White American and 87 AfricanAmerican students making up

Not everyone has the money,mental health, nor the support to adapt to these changes in such a short timeframe. Yethere we are as students contemplating the value of an honest education. I know I certainlydidn't pay nearly $22,000 for this semester only to be taught by a pre-recorded lecture andpowerpoints, so why should I be perfectly honest? The system is flawed currently and Icannot blame our staff for the nature of their emergency plans, after all this was veryunexpected.

Whereas minority engineering organizations significantly support professionaldevelopment outside the classroom, some engineering programs include professionaldevelopment as part of their integrated curricula. In the right setting, practical professionalengineering skills can be taught to students[33], giving them an advantage in the workforce. Bycreating a more holistic experience of engineering education, professional development supportsgreater engagement[9], particularly for minority students who may not have had much interactionwith workers in their desired career. Professional development of both students and faculty iscrucial for the continuing success of the student[13].Financial aid

If a requisite changes for an engineering course,the timeline for degree completion and the ability for students to take a full-time courseand to receive financial aid/maintain their international student status can be affected. If anew track within an existing curriculum is added at the community college level and thefour year school is not informed about this development, the students in such programsmay not get the benefits that are associated with a joint/dual degree program.
