Reynolds, PE, RA, LEED AP Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Colorado School of MinesAbstractEngineering classes are frequently assessed with closed-ended, well-defined problems with a“correct” answer. Open-ended and more complex problems complement this approach, and candevelop an ability to synthesize and contextualize information, and to develop critical thinkingskills. Assessing open-ended problems can prove challenging, as traditional grading methods forclosed-ended problems

Adding Reflection and Oral Communication to a Design Project – Work in ProgressReflection-in-action was encouraged in a junior-level design project by providing a competitor'sdesign to teams. Students then compared their designs to the competitor's design in an oralpresentation. The competitor's design had calculations errors and a different, less expensiveprocess than most of the students chose to use. Interesting questions developed as studentscompared their designs to that of the competitor. Methods, transferability, pitfalls, and futurestudies are discussed in the paper.IntroductionA colleague [placeholder for blind review] and I have taught similar junior-level courses atdifferent universities for a

In spite of using active-engagement techniques in our classes, big percentage of students can not answer straightforward questions of the type we have covered in class and assigned as homework. We believe that students lack one of the essential components of meaningful learning: self-reflection. How do we engage students in a meaningful self-reflection and measure its implications?

individual’s decision-making in the face of discrete moral or ethical quandaries. Yet,prior scholarship by Joseph Herkert [2] suggests there is a multi-layered set of ethical obligationsthat range for microethics––or individual decisions––to macroethics, which reflect theprofessional society’s values and ethical obligations. Macroethical dilemmas result in the“problem of many hands”, as described by van der Poel and Royakkers [3]. This brings to lightthe notion that individuals or even large organizations are not solely responsible for engineeringprocesses and uncertain outcomes. For it is clear that no individual or discrete organization hascomplete control and authority for the complex socio-technical innovation process from designto implementation

Thisresearch paper draws on data from three focus groups that were conducted with a total of 26undergraduate engineering students at three U.S. universities. The students were enrolled inengineering courses with ESI content, and the focus groups included discussion of the specificcourse that was being studied by the research team as a potential exemplar of ESI instruction andof students’ broader exposure to ESI inside and outside the classroom. In all three courses, thestudents were seniors and thus could reflect on their undergraduate experience. The focus groupswere

in this article.Dr. Marie Stettler Kleine’s research on humanitarian and integrated engineering programsinspired her reflection on how different forms of contextualization and the vocabulary used todescribe them signal different ways to best teach engineers. Her graduate training in science andtechnology studies and human-centered design prepared her to see that these forms ofcontextualization are much more nuanced than using particular language, but this varyinglanguage fundamentally changes the engineering pedagogy in practice. She continues tointerrogate why and how engineering educators learn from other disciplines to explicitlyprioritize contextualization.For Dr. Kari Zacharias, this project has been an opportunity to reflect on the
