Professor Bielefeldt’s research interests in en- gineering education include service-learning, sustainable engineering, social responsibility, ethics, and diversity. American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Kindness in Engineering EducationAbstractIn light of the disruptions in higher education brought about by COVID responses, faculty wereencouraged to be more accommodating of student issues. These edicts largely could be construedas showing kindness. But why should faculty kindness toward students only be manifested in theface of a global pandemic? Even before the pandemic there was a growing

that it leadsdirectly or indirectly to an improvement in our quality of life, must work within the constraintsprovided by technical, economic, business, political, social, and ethical issues.” (p. 7). In someways this echoes the language of the Mann report but acknowledges that as Technology hasincreasingly become integrated into all infrastructures that a systemic, rather than industry-focused, perspective is necessary. The systemic focus is noteworthy since systems need to beunderstood either through functional decomposition—the basis of outcome development—orholistically as they become more complex.As has been pointed out by others [12] engineering education adapts to the times; it must bydefinition do so since the role of engineers has

. Unfortunately,engineering educators generally find it difficult to foster critical thinking among their students.This work-in-progress paper describes a strategy to inculcate critical thinking ability inengineering graduates. Examples are taken from two core courses in the Materials andManufacturing stream.Several critical thinking models were explored, such as Gibbs’ reflective cycle model, Facione’smodel, Kronholm model, and King and Kitchener’s model. Paul and Elder’s (P-E) model forcritical thinking was found to be more suited for engineering. P-E model provides a good basisfor the way in which engineers think, and is especially suited for CT as it targets issues such ascreativity, design development, and professional and ethical issues.

“The Boeing employeeapparently wrote, that given “the nature of this complaint, the fear of retaliation is high,despite all official assurances that should not be the case. There is a suppressive culturalattitude toward criticism of corporate policy-especially if that criticism comes as a result offatal accidents” (OR 172).By filing the complaint the engineer was exercising his/her ethical responsibility. While it isknown that some senior managers were engineers, questions about their exercise of ethicalleadership were not asked in the report.The House Committee wrote “The AOA Disagree Alert issue may not rise to what Boeingand the FAA believe are critical safety issues. However, the Committee’s investigation hasfound that it sheds light on a

. Waymo reported of 20 million miles of autonomousdriving at the beginning of 2020. Many Other non-traditional automobile companies such asAmazon, Apple, Aptiv, Baidu, Nvidia, Uber are competing with traditional automakers such asAudi, Honda, GM, Huawei, Mercedez-Benz, etc. for the market share [35]. The success for autonomous cars involves smart technology involves digital map, highlyreliable and accurate sensing technology for connected systems, powerful computing, machinelearning among others. Some of the other major issues besides the autonomous drivingtechnology are consumer privacy, cybersecurity, safety regulation, ethical issues, which need tobe resolved in order to develop autonomous vehicles as a consumer product [36].
