This framework will assist inpresenting the “seen, unseen, and unforeseen” [4] by beginning to (1) research the self, (2)research the self in relation to others, (3) engage in reflection and representation, and (4) shiftfrom self to system. By exploring these facets of our own personal perspective or positionality,we can begin to more adequately investigate the phenomenon of interest involving individualswith different life experiences than our own.Thoughts of Positionality from a Qualitative ResearcherA key practice that was established early in my

and qualities of engineers include creativity, leadership, teamwork, andinnovative thought [29-30]. Further, the nature of engineering work requires that engineers beaware of the social and cultural states of the world and the ways in which their work affectsothers [30]. Therefore, exploring leadership behaviors of engineers would lend insight into thenature of leadership within the engineering context. The primary research question in this studyis as follows: Which leadership styles are experienced by current engineers? This exploratorystudy reflects an effort to describe the lived experiences of current engineers and theirobservations of leaders with whom they have worked.Methodology The purpose and research question associated with

Engineering Education, 2019 Evaluating the Impact of Ethics Instruction on Student AwarenessAbstractEngineers must frequently make decisions during their careers without understanding orknowing the full set of consequences. These decisions can have unintended or harmful results.Therefore, it is imperative that engineers consider the ethical dimensions of their decisions whileworking to satisfy their employer’s interests even if these decisions conflict with theirorganization’s objectives or their own goals. Engineers have a responsibility to uphold a level ofethical standards that produces trust in not only their organization but also in their profession.Students entering the workforce must reflect the same level of ethical standards

All models classify students according toscales that are defined based on the way learners receive and process information. The FSLMincorporates some elements of the Myers-Briggs [12] model and Kolb’s [11] experientiallearning model. The main reasoning for its selection in the DLMS evaluation is that it focuses onaspects of learning that are significant in engineering education.The FSLM consists of four dimensions, each with two contrasting learning styles. These fourdimensions (and their associated contrasting learning styles) are: Processing (Active/Reflective);Perception (Sensing/Intuitive); Input (Visual/Verbal); and Understanding

In all, a total of six half-hour long focus group interviews were utilized to facilitatecollective reflection and dialogue by providing students opportunities to openly discuss theirlearning experiences with fellow peers. The number of students participating in a given focusgroup ranged between 6-8 and all focus groups sessions were audio recorded for transcription andanalysis purposes.

In this model, students’ self-schemata (which we frame in this study as STEMidentity) predicts their expectations of success (which we frame as students’ self-efficacy), whichpredicts their achievement-related choices (which we frame as STEM career aspirations as wellas STEM study strategies), as do the subjective values students assign a task (which we frame asperceived STEM degree utility).In this model, self-efficacy can be viewed as the extent to which students believe they arecapable of learning and understanding academic topics, as well as successfully performingacademic tasks to their own standards [15].

Therefore, before describing the researchmethods used to assess engineering identity development of students in both departments, whatfollows is a summary of how the departments implicitly and explicitly attempt to developengineering identity, particularly in the non-traditional department.Engineering identity development in the non-traditional department is scaffolded across a rangeof activities, from project-based learning and reflection to the deliberate study of other identities,such as entrepreneur and leader.

The demographics reflect those of the BiomedicalEngineering program, with approximately 55% female students.

of Ethics, it is clearthat the Code highly reflects deontological theory; i.e., it consists of a series of doctrines thatengineers must follow, with intrinsic morality tied to each behavior. In other words, the Code ofEthics can be seen as a reflection of an engineer’s duty to society.A difference from this dominate theoretical approach can be seen to emerge in the review of 108articles and conference papers on macroethical education in engineering. Articles were reviewedand sorted based on the three main “families” of ethical theory: utilitarianism, deontology, andvirtue ethics. This review showed that explicit reference to these three families of theoryoccurred in 41 of the 108 articles reviewed – 14 predominately noted utilitarianism

Labels were identified for inferred concepts aboutengineering (e.g. “I am anxious about taking the higher-level math courses required”). Theconcepts then were examined and collated together into broader patterns of meaning. Thesepatterns of meaning were checked against the greater data to refine into specific themes.ResultsStudents’ preconceptions of engineering centered around five key thematic areas: knowledge,perception, impact, method and performance (Figure 1). Students often eluded to contentknowledge that they expected engineers to know. Oftentimes this was more broadly addressed

To determine which outcomes are currently beingtaught in the UO laboratory, the curricula from six different universities were analyzed using theeight Chemical Process Safety learning outcomes recommended by SAChE [3]. The results ofthat study showed that process safety is minimally covered in the UO laboratory, and that otheraspects of process safety are not covered even at the wider curriculum level.To create the necessary curricular change, a recent model suggests four different strategies canbe used independently or collectively to create change in higher education.

First, existing studies in engineering educationresearch often make assumptions of what “counts” as an engineering career. Typically, onlypositions in industry or academia in engineering sectors are counted towards retention. Second,studies often treat career decision-making as a logical, cognitive process, ignoring the pervasiveinfluences of personal identities and belonging. The proposed study has

A low overall injury rate doesnot necessarily correlate to the degree of lab safety since some injuries will be unrelated to labwork. Actual injury rate is likely higher than the data shows because it only includes reportedinjuries above a certain threshold.

From those, the spread in scores forthe quantitative part is large. On the other hand, all students who have a high score in thequantitative part (i.e., greater than 80%) also have a high score in the conceptual part. It seemsthat it is required to have a strong conceptual understanding, but this is
