But, this seems to be one of manyaspects of the social media that need to be controlled, so many people think. Each of usmakes an ethical judgement in response to the problem. Medical doctors come face to facewith the study of medical ethics during their training since they have to make life and deathdecisions. Engineers will have been told about their codes of practice. By and large, however,a curriculum that is focused on preparation for work gives little attention to ethics, which isnot perhaps surprising in a world that Hamilton-Paterson thinks has little or no conception

Beyond preparing an interview protocol, interview-based researchers need to managecomplex dynamics experienced during the course of interviews such as timing and rhythm,sensitivity and empathy, navigating the ethics and utility of probing questions, managingemotional reactions that interview participant responses can conjure, or recalling details to

Thepaper “Data Science K-10 Big Ideas” provided a comprehensive overview of the fundamentalskills students should learn to become proficient in data science [10]. The paper also outlinedfour key concepts that should be taught in data science curriculum for kindergarten through10th grade, including topics such as data collection and representation, data analysis andinterpretation, and ethical considerations in the use of data.

Being attentive to the guidance (and oversight) related to ABET accreditationoffers students, parents, employers, and society the assurance that a college or universityprogram is meeting a standard of quality that is required in the professional engineering domain.A purposeful trajectory toward a rigorous engineering education is critical, in a race to safely,methodically, and ethically address complex technological systems meeting the speed andfinancial pressures of creative design (Dekker, 2011).Capstone design as professional preparation/readinessThe concept of creating multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary capstone design courses at the post-secondary education
mindretains no active memory of the development of such a belief [30]. It is common for ourespoused beliefs to not match our behaviors [14] suggesting that the nuances of our implicitbeliefs may be missing, or there are contextual factors at play that influence one’s decision-making. Behavioral ethicists encourage individuals to create awareness in decision-makingsituations by being reflective of their choices (behavior) rather than adhering to a specific set ofvalues stipulated by themselves or others [31]. Making judgements with increased awareness canhelp individuals “make decisions that are more in line with their ethical standards” [31, p. 99].This approach to reconciliation between espoused beliefs and future actions serves as thegrounding

The conceptualization of research mindset in these domains can makesuch explorations more impactful to the community.Doctoral education is responsible for cultivating a proper research mindset among early careerresearchers. STEM Doctoral education in the U.S. is not only designed to enhance criticalthinking, and persistence over the Ph.D. journey of a student [37], [38] but also to develop theability to work in collaborative and team settings and acquire the capacity to communicate, bothorally and in written form [38], [39].

Oxford defines art as “the expression or application of humancreative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producingworks to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power [1].” One might simplifyand suggest that art is a process led by the human mind that

This convergence of knowledgeand responsibility to others and the earth rewrite the field of engineering through a decolonized,non-Eurocentric lens, and it balances the scales of credibility by offering freedom from prejudicethat privileges whiteness, maleness, ableism, heterosexuality, etc. With this liberation, we canensure women and those with non-centered identities have space to thrive and contribute to thebetterment of this world, as is a long-standing tenant of the engineering profession [1].ConclusionEpistemic injustice is a system of inequity that perpetuates an exclusionary culture to womenbased on their perceived

By having students focus on solving problems that they themselves careabout, or at least identifying a problem that has a person in the middle of the system, there areincreased possible opportunities to engage in social justice, and applied ethics [10] in doingengineering work. For the purposes of accreditation, ABET has also propagated a definition forengineering design more broadly as “a process of devising a system, component, or process tomeet desired needs and specifications within constraints” [4]. Additionally additional context andinputs about the global, societal, cultural, and environmental aspects of an engineered system arenow also part of the expected student outcomes ABET delineates.ContextWe
academia.IntroductionAttempts to understand research culture are not new, and there are examples of scholarsmapping, analyzing, and critiquing research culture in the sciences. Some examples are studiesranging from ethical concerns in psychology research [1], critiques of the underlyingphilosophical assumptions of scientific research [2]–[4], developing a framework for scientificresearch in the life sciences [5], to social and political critiques of funding practices in the STEMresearch enterprise [6]–[8]. Following these trends, scholars have explored the nature ofengineering and the cultural underpinnings that guide the field in both practice and training offuture engineers [9]–[13]. These works are often concerned with developing a deeperunderstanding of the
more sense-making 1approach that considers adaptive, critically self-assessing, and open acknowledgement ofstudents’ visions of purpose and success. The latter requires the formation of ethical relationshipsbetween graduate students and their faculty (Gelles, Villanueva, & Di Stefano, 2019) so thatinstitutional and programmatic factors that deter Ph.D. progression are mitigated, particularlythose factors that contribute to racial inequities in STEM. The authors situated the need for equal footing between Black engineering Ph.D. studentsand their mentors in where there is an intentional creation of safe and third spaces (VillanuevaAlarcón
data on these intersecting identities. Interview data were coded infour passes. We identified how the student’s unique values and experiences, mainly related to hiswork ethic, took priority over connecting with others or engaging in departmental or universityprograms. Themes that emerged from the interview data were familiar experiences (seekinghands-on experiences), motivation for engineering degree attainment (familial expectations anddesire for job security), degree attainment resources (strong sense of self-reliance, lack ofreaching out to other sources of support), and strategic gaps (limited understanding of what anengineer does or how to get an engineering job). Understanding this student’s experienceprovides insights into underlying
the world. Developments overthe past decade have focused on sustainable long-distance aviation technologies, urban airmobility, low-cost access to space, and the commercialization of human spaceflight, to name buta few. These and other projects continue to demand talented engineers to support their researchand development. The NSF REDO-E grant supporting this study identifies several ways in whichdiversity in engineering consistently yields improvements across many facets of the discipline.Groups with higher diversity consistently demonstrate improved overall performance [1] as wellas improved understanding of relevant subject matter [2]. Such groups are also more adept atmaking ethical decisions [3], which is of especially critical

: The Effect of Summarizing a Research Article on Students’ Area of Robotics Interest1 BackgroundThe need for capable, ethical robotics engineers is growing with the industry valued at 32.32billion in 2021 with anticipated growth of 12.1% from 2022 to 2030 [1], and projected 17,900mechanical engineering job openings each year [2]. It is imperative that undergraduate andgraduate programs prepare engineers for industry positions in robotics, and that they includeand encourage diverse groups of students to enter the field.Additionally, diversity among engineers in general is limited, starting with bachelor’s andbeing further exacerbated when entering engineering professions. For example, 22% of engi-neering bachelor degrees in
