4123 class managed to control costs quite well. Using hangers instead of rebar was onearea of cost savings. The hangers were purchased for $0.13 each from a local dry cleaner. Theywere a heavy-gage galvanized hanger, with a cost less than $5.00 to provide one hanger to eachof the 33 students! Concrete materials were generously donated by the Civil Engineeringdepartment. Due to the small scale of the beams (4”x3”x16”) and the fact that students workedin groups of three ensured the material costs were so minimal, the Civil Engineering departmentdid not mind donating these materials. Steel forms from the Civil Engineering department werealso lent to our project, allowing us to save time and money by not constructing a one-time useform for the

Architecture and Urban Design from Columbia University. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Summer scholarship project: Designing and building a multi- purpose micro-farm structure as a pedagogical strategy for Architectural Engineering Technology studentsAbstractConstructing a full-scale mock-up is commonly used in the architectural industry, and it isinvaluable to the design outcome. It provides feedback on the appearance, scale, material, andconstructability. This process can also be adopted as a teaching strategy in a classroom,especially when considering that a hands-on learning experience increases student engagementand information retention.

engineering curricula make it no less of aworthy effort. It is important to include ethics in engineering education because engineers shapethe built and digital world as we know it. Unlike many formula-driven, technical courses, ethicalthought and action require evaluating issues whose importance may change with context [4] [8].Disappointing performance on the Ethics section of the Fundamental Engineering examdemonstrates the failure of some current engineering programs to inculcate ethical thinking inthe minds of engineering students [9]. In this section, we offer a very brief overview of someimportant works and trends in the field.When engineering courses feature ethics, they typically rely on strictly philosophical orprofessional approaches to

We did for a few years. I always found it, well, we reverted [back]. We changed our mind like other companies do, I hear. So what didn't work was the lack of communication between departments. So we could have some efficiencies within departments, by really focusing on some technical details, but we were losing too much by doing that in terms of interaction with the other sides of the company… So the big picture was getting lost … Most people were less and less aware of what was happening outside of

concepts in engineering education inspires engineering solutions that createmore equitable distributions of resources and enhance human capabilities [1].Education intervention aimed at developing more socially minded future engineers has beendone throughout United States universities. At the Colorado School of Mines, educatorsinvestigated the success of immersing students in the user experience as a method for teachingempathy. The program has seen a change in the way students approach problems after receivingthe immersive course, and instructors have noted better quality of student work with the program[7]. A study performed at Lafayette College examined the inclusion of morals into engineeringethics curriculum to increase the ability of
engineering-related to be relevant to their professional ethical development. None of the descriptions ofethical development during their extracurricular activities seemed very well scaffolded,presenting an opportunity to faculty mentors and advisors of these activities. This can range fromdirecting particular activities (e.g., bringing in a guest speaker to talk about ethical issues at aprofessional society meeting) to more informal facilitation of reflection via discussion. Helpingstudents to be focus their attention (perception) and be mindful (processing) may be particularlyhelpful in leveraging extracurricular experiences into rich opportunities for ethical development.While the alumni shared stories of extracurricular settings that they
