ColorAbstractThis WIP paper intends to supplement our current understanding of political awareness andethical disengagement among engineering undergraduates. As an integral part of the productionof globally-sold technology and weaponry [1-6], engineers in the United States need to have anactive and informed interest for global public welfare as well as the political applications of theirwork [7]. Part of developing this informed interest is supposed to occur as they get theirbachelor’s degree, as ABET expects graduates to be able to “recognize ethical and professionalresponsibilities in engineering situations” (Criterion 3: Student Outcomes) and make decisionsthat give weight to the global and societal impact of their work [8]. In spite of this effort

Her primary teaching objective is to foster a lifelong learning mindset in her students by promoting critical thinking and problem-based learning. Dr. AbdelGawad’s teaching philosophy integrates real-life ethical dilemmas to encourage students to think deeply, challenge their opinions, and integrate ethics into their coursework to help shape them into successful, professional and socially responsible engineers. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2025 Engineering Excellence through Strategic Team Management Shell Eco-Marathon STRATEGIES

elements effectively and creating content tailored to both students andinstructors.IntroductionThe majority of engineering undergraduate programs lack sufficient guidance on social andethical responsibility in the field of engineering. Both the U.S. National Academy of Engineeringand ABET accreditation emphasize the necessity to embed ethics and social responsibility toaddress ethical, global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic impacts [1]-[3] Researchhas consistently demonstrated the value of sociotechnical awareness in engineers. For instance,engineers must prioritize public well-being and ethical responsibilities in their work [4]-[8],understand the societal impacts of engineering solutions [9]-[12], and challenge cultural normsthat

The methodology was carefully designed to capture thenuanced experiences and perspectives of faculty advisors and/or graduate students whilemaintaining scientific rigor and ethical considerations. The methodology presented is mindfulof all the complexities of mentoring relationships and connected constructs, particularly inunderstanding how emotional intelligence manifests in these relationships.2.1 Research Design The research design selected for this study follows a participatory research approach [31],[32].

Summer Stevens became doctoral student in Virginia Tech’s Engineering Education program after obtaining a BS in Civil Engineering from the University of Utah. She also looks forward to completing an MS in Structural Engineering at Virginia Tech. Summer’s career goals revolve around becoming a civil engineering or engineering education professor, or conversely, a university outreach program coordinator. Her current research interests include validating crochet as a form of tinkering, K-12 engineering identity, artistic understandings of engineering, family rights for engineers, engineering student mental health, engineering ethics education, and mass timber construction. ©American Society for

This allowed students toprovide candid feedback without fear of judgment from their teammates.Regarding the ethical considerations of this study involving human subjects, due to the use ofpersonal data from participants in an international collaborative program, the study wasconducted in compliance with established research ethics guidelines, including ethicalstandards, codes of conduct, and responsibilities. Specifically, (1) prior consultation was heldwith program coordinators to obtain permission for conducting the survey and using studentdata, and (2) students were informed of the research purpose and content, and their consentwas obtained before

. For the qualityassurance in engineering education in American universities, some of the initialchallenges and pressures may be influenced by technical factors, but they are notlimited by simple technical difficulties, and also involve more important issues suchas ethics, culture, and fairness. In the process of vigorously promoting programaccreditation of engineering education, clear requirements have also been put forwardfor the evidence-support capability. The transformation of outcome-basedaccreditation paradigm will be constrained and hindered to some extent by theprevious one overemphasis of the input and process. Many colleges and universitiesare still struggling to adapt to this transformation, mainly manifested in the singularityof
