engineering projects. The National Academyof Engineering [1, 2] argues that the “Engineer of 2020” must not only be technically capable, butalso be able to understand the contextual requirements and consequences of their work.ABET program accreditation criteria[3] promote contextual engineering practice in several of itsoutcomes criteria [italics added]: (c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability (f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility (h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering

(or memorized). Therefore, the approach of maximizing partial credit based onmemorizing a few problems is counter to the goals of an engineering education. Furthermore, itcan be said that the current partial credit grading model rewards students for pretending that theyknow how to solve a problem, even when they don’t. This means our grading model ispromoting behavior that is explicitly unethical for professional engineers, according to theNational Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) Code of Ethics for Engineers [7] (paragraphsII.5.a and III.1.a).A second practice affecting learning is the copying of homework solutions from onlineresources. Collaboration on homework has occurred at some level since graded homework wasintroduced, but the

attracted to micro-genetic and socio-cultural models of learning. He has been working on how learners’ emotions are coupled with their conceptual and epistemological reasoning. Lately, he has been interested in engineering design thinking, how engineering students come to understand and practice design, and how engineering students think about ethics and social responsi- bility.Dr. Jennifer Radoff, University of Maryland, College Park Jennifer Radoff is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Maryland, College Park.

still typicallytaught outside of the STEM major, sending the message to students that writing is not central toSTEM disciplines. To combat this issue, many have argued for writing across the curriculumand taking a discipline-specific view of writing.A challenge, even for these approaches, is engaging students in authentic writing that isfoundational to solving contextual and socially just design problems [2]. Whereas the focus ofmuch core engineering coursework is focused on building technical, disciplinary knowledge,many have argued for approaches that also prepare students to approach engineering problemsmore holistically, considering the ethics and consequences of their work [3]. For instance, instudents struggle to consider the ways their

drug [Topol, 2004].Using these back stories, we created a series of scenarios along with questions. We framed eachquestion so as to obscure its origin while potentially allowing the student to draw out and discussa decision error of systems engineering. Why not simply give students descriptions of the failuresand the findings we discussed and have the students evaluate them? First, we wanted to eliminatebias due to students being familiar with a particular failure. For example, the Space ShuttleChallenger accident is a frequent topic in engineering ethics lectures. A learned, in-context,response from a previous exposure would not give us an indication of their abilities in systemsengineering. Second, the point of framing a question around a
