This event is subsequently followed by theannual congress of WEEF (World Engineering Education Forum), which is organized by IFEES(International Federation of Engineering Education Societies) and other partner organizations.Apart from the GSF, our principal event, we organize forums on national levels, such as theIndian Student Forum (ISF) or the Argentinian Student Forum (ASF), as well as regionalworkshops on an annual or provisional basis.The goal behind our work as a students’ organization is to connect like-minded people andstudent leaders who are eager to implement changes to their EE environment.

our overall goal for the session was to initialize a globalcollaboration to advance diversity and inclusion in engineering education, it was crucial that ouraudience be empowered to continue these conversations following the session. This trainingconsisted of two parts: 1) a definition of biases, explicit and implicit, including examples ofconsequences of implicit biases within a variety of contexts and 2) an interactive activity throughan anonymous PollEveryWhere.com survey in which audience members shared their experienceswith implicit bias within engineering spaces.In part one of the training, we defined bias as habits of mind--preferences, inclinations, orpatterns of thought. Biases play a pivotal role in shaping how we navigate judgments

However, given the tremendous influence ofengineers on the contemporary world – and for the sake of public safety – insights from the fieldof behavioral ethics can and should be brought to bear on research and education in engineeringethics.II.

In addition this study studied the differences between male and femaleresponses across cultures. Finally the results of these two studies were compared to the resultsof surveys with engineering students from U.S.A., Germany, Poland and Russia fromprevious cross cultural diversity studies conducted by the authors.BackgroundIn the age of global grand challenges, engineers are likely to work in international teams so asto find good opportunities

As is right now, Tenaris already hires several students of theLook College.

To make suggestion for a new instructional method, I analyzed the daily reportsand final reports whom Japanese participants of two courses write as Design Based Research(DBR). DBR is the one of the research method for learning. According to BARAB andSQUIR (2004)[1], Design Based Research is “a series of approaches, with the intent ofproducing new theories, artifacts, and practices that account for and potentially impactlearning and teaching in naturalistic settings”.

As such, ”design as an activityand profession is inherently integrative across ‘arts’ and ‘sciences’, but it is the integrative element that is at theforefront” (ibid).We believe that a narrow-minded view of objectives in product development and design can contribute to asituation, where economic targets get over-prioritised in relation to value for customers and other stakeholders,such as described by Åman and Andersson (2012).
