Our findings suggest thedifficulty of developing impactful ethics interventions, given that students arrive at universitywith pre-existing knowledge and perceptions about ethics, morality, and social responsibility,and may opt into experiences and programs that align with rather than challenge their existingvalues and social commitments.Nonetheless, through interviews we had multiple opportunities to ask participants about theirlearning experiences related to morality, ethics, and associated concerns. In a series of papers, weleveraged this data to explore the different kinds of experiences mentioned, along with whatstudents described

It provides a flexible structure for solving wicked, ill-structured challenges [7] andgenerating creative and meaningful solutions [8]. HCD centralizes humans in the design journeythrough emphasizing with stakeholders, understanding them, and collaborating with them toexplore and define problems [9], [10]. Then, HCD engages the stakeholders in iterative cycles ofprototyping, testing, and reflecting to develop and sustain solutions [1]. HCD involves

Emergent codes showed thatparticipants found both outward and inward value in serving others. Outward value reflected abetter quality of life for the person benefiting from service while inward value provided personalsatisfaction, learning, or growth for the participant. This inward value was also evident withrespect to views of DEI where participants mentioned learning or growing from past events. Twoparticipants

Such perspectives center individual personhoodand lived experience of people with disabilities, highlight the diverse nature of disability, andposition accessibility and inclusion as ethical necessities that a society is responsible for. Theseperspectives contrast those often used in the social, physical, and bureaucratic structures thatshape the lived experiences of people with disabilities [5]. Such structures tend to rely onmedicalized models that describe disability as a condition to be treated and/or accommodatedusing a set of prescribed approaches regulated by policy [6, 7].Conceptualizing and

The Fellows then further reflected in writing on their understanding of what "goodcommunication" means in engineering and how they came to that understanding. Themes fromthe written reflections of engineering faculty were that good communication required technicalaccuracy and conciseness with an emphasis on the importance of a deep understanding of thepurpose of the communication and the audience.

. 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.
