in-person laboratory experiences. The course used the video conferencing clientZoom as the primary method of communication. If virtual and in-person learning was happeningsynchronously, the Zoom call was projected in the classroom so that all students could see andhear each other. A video and audio feed was also available from the classroom so that studentscould hear each other across platforms.ResultsThe results of both Cohort A and Cohort B’s activities were extremely promising. Students inCohort A had statistically significant improvements in the number of other students they feltcomfortable working with over the course of the semester. At the start of the semester, studentsidentified in the survey that they were willing to work with an

Management. The course istypically offered in fall and spring semesters with enrollment of approximately 90 students eachsemester. The course exists to introduce the management functions of planning, organizing,motivating, and controlling. Further, the course analyzes the application of these functions inresearch, design, production, technical marketing, and project management and studies theevolution of the engineering career and the transition to engineering management.The course was regularly delivered in a traditional format with two 75-minute classroomsessions each week, including lecture by the instructor with student response to questions usingclickers. Assessment typically involved individual assignments and several multiple-choiceexams each
general.Consistent with our guiding conceptual model, features characteristic of this summer camp,including connecting lessons to the real-world with applications, team building, and professionaldevelopment, seem to matter. Indeed, given that students had no prior experience in coding, theweek-long activities appeared particularly effective in instilling a sense of competence in theparticipants, which may encourage students’ future participation in STEM related educationalpathways and careers. In addition, the camp likely facilitated students’ feelings of autonomy byallowing them to engage in self-directed activities, such as coming up with their own ideas forshowcase projects. A sense of relatedness is also likely a consequence of the camp, as
program, a hands-on experience is expected mostly through laboratory classes [4-6]. Theyusually enjoy laboratory classes and look forward to implementing what they had learnt in bookcourses. But most importantly, since project/lab-based learning is one of the most effective andbetter resonating methods of learning, and one that distinguishes between engineering programs[5, 6]; engineering students immediately feel that they are getting their money’s worth whenengaging in a laboratory environment. Different engineering schools struggled to convince their students with “emergency”remote laboratory classes as an alternative to in-person laboratory classes [7, 8]. As ABET has notrelaxed any accreditation requirements, it was mandated that
to argue that because they are by their nature contingent, an informationgiving curriculum based on a collection of traditional disciplines is unlikely to developtechnological competency. The most likely curriculum to develop technological competencywill be problem/project based, accompanied by a study of qualitative engineering. Because itis likely to require students to obtain knowledge independently, and because individuals andorganizations learn, its base should be an active understanding of the nature of learning.Some examples of transdisciplinary programmes are mentioned together with sometransdisciplinary texts, but they err on the side of information giving rather than problemsolving and critical thinking which lie at the heart of
time [15], [20]. However, by better understanding how people think abouttechnology, and what they consider right and wrong, educators and policymakers would bepositioned to anticipate and respond more effectively to problems as they arise [55]. Forexample, the Moral Machines project sheds light on how people think about the ethics ofautonomous vehicles, as well as the effects of culture and nationality on these judgments [56].Next, claiming the ultimate goal of ethics education should be ethical behaviors does not meanthat curricula need to/should teach specific behaviors [8], [21]. Rather, it simply means thatdecisions about what is taught, assessed, and how are guided by the ultimate goal of increasingethical behaviors. As was mentioned

the effectiveness of lessons. These lessons are not immune tothat impact. Future research will focus on tailoring these and all modules to the blended learningdelivery system with which we are now faced.To that end, the project is currently ongoing and specific aspects of the modules designed andintroduced to the course in question will continue to be adjusted to better facilitate learning. Thecore concepts of the modules as realized through the methods discussed will remain the same,but future research will focus on continuing to tailor the learning delivery system. This will notonly improve the lessons themselves but will require considered practice of the lesson delivery,which will echo the sentiments of the previous section in building

concept that helps explicate how social justice might be enacted within the academy and draws on Black women theorists in order to frame the project. The lead author, a white woman, receives the reviews, only to find that the reviewer has disparaged the writing style and the methodology, demanding graphs and charts and analysis! The tone of the review is troubling, particularly for a social justice track: as their qualitative study (along with decades of research) shows, the preference for a particular style of writing, for charts and quantitative analysis, often reveals and upholds patriarchal, Western and white supremacist values. Key to social justice, the lead author thinks, is an

As shownin Figure 2, the ratio of mentions of social dimensions to technical dimensions in the engineeringstatement was the inverse of those mentions in the near future steps portion of the action plan.Because students were not explicitly prompted to make these connections, and the sample weanalyzed was small, these early findings suggest the need for further examination and betteralignment between conceptual understanding and action.Figure 2.

studentsclaimed not to have realized that different types of audiences often existed for a technicaldocument. As one student wrote, “I simply thought that because the writing is scientific, it isintended for a learned audience when in reality, scientific writing can be intended for differentaudiences,” such as users of an instruction manual or for decision makers of a project.
