Engineering.Fundamentals of Engineering I Curriculum: Topics in this course include engineering problem-solving, introductory programming, technical communication, engineering ethics, and teamwork. Utilizing engineering tools to analyze data and solve real-world problems is an important aspect of the course. Data analysis involved arrays, logical and relational operators, graphing techniques for single or multiple datasets in Microsoft Office Excel. Basics of programming, referencing and memory addressing are taught in this course using MATLAB to enhance students’ ability to code and develop algorithms. As a comprehensive exercise, a design project is assigned to assess learning. In addition to analytical skills, the First-Year programs cover a wide variety of

The first escape room was centered on a hazardous waste incinerationproblem that included, the Ideal Gas Law, gaussian dispersion, and risk assessment. This escaperoom was used in our Solid and Hazardous Waste course to help our seniors prepare for theFundamentals of Engineering Exam. It was also piloted with two faculty teams during a summerteaching seminar. The second escape room was built around an engineering ethics case study inour capstone design course, which will be discussed in the companion paper.

Initially, students expressed understanding of broad, fuzzilyformed concepts. After practice teaming, their insight grew, and they began to identify as a partof the larger engineering community.

Likewise, ABET has alsoindicated a strong importance on this type of skill development in its assessment of programs,with the updated Student Outcomes. Four out of the seven ABET outcomes focus on these skills,and those four are outlined below: “(3) an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences (4) an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider

In a similar perspective, the study in thispaper measured engineering students’ perceptions of leadership skills from the 3 categories ofpersonal, professional, and present course of study.Leadership skills have been identified by industry and higher education through a series ofreviews and surveys. Some of the skills highlighted by industry and higher education asimportant to leadership are empathy and self-awareness, ethical conduct, appreciation of culturaldiversity, work effectively in teams, and communication skills [3], [18]. The lecture topics forthe study in this paper directly align with the leadership skills identified as important by

Professionalism thus also includes development of virtues and leadership characteristics. The professionalism thread acknowledges that students develop as professionals over time and with repeated exposure to professional concepts and multiple opportunities to practice and reflect.

According to the Council on Undergraduate Research, undergraduate research isdefined as “an inquiry or investigation conducted by an undergraduate student that makes anoriginal intellectual or creative contribution to the discipline” [1]. As stated in literature, studentswho engage in undergraduate research show improvements in thinking independently, thinkingcritically, putting ideas together, solving problems, patience analyzing and interpreting data,analyzing literature, conducting ethical research, writing, and communicating [2-10].

This description of social justice carries a mandateto analyze and acknowledge the structural and social inequalities present in society, and work toempower those most marginalized by these systems of inequality.

Before moving from onestage to another, designers are encouraged to take time to pause and reflect in order to makedecisions that are evidence based, ethical, and equitable. Thus, socially engaged designrecommends designers to be reflective practitioners—to look back at both their design processand current design outcomes at regular intervals [73]. Different decision points will requiredifferent kinds of reflection but generally designers may be asking themselves: Do I have enoughinformation to move forward? What information is still missing?

HE in a general sense, we move to consider the purpose ofengineering education specifically, making use of various UK reports to define thecharacteristics of the ‘new’ engineer. In recent years there has been an increasing emphasison the need for engineers to apply systems thinking to solve complex engineering problemswhilst considering the wider context [22]. Engineers should behave in a socially responsibleand ethical manner whilst demonstrating cultural awareness. They are expected todemonstrate a range of professional skills including communication, teamwork, project andrisk management, business awareness and leadership [22], [23] and there is an expectationthat they will engage in their own personal development and lifelong learning [22
