She has served twice as the chair of the Liberal Education/Engineering and Society (LEES) Division of ASEE and received that division's Olmsted Award for outstanding contributions to liberal education for engineers. Her current research projects focus on humanistic education for engineers as a system that transcends particular courses and institutions; the interdependence of ethics, communication, and STS in engineering; and establishing a collective identity for the diverse community engaged in teaching and researching engineering communication.Michael Alley (Professor of Teaching) © American Society for Engineering Education, 2022

buzzword across all areas.Digital transformation articulates business strategies, heralding new opportunities byincorporating technology and streamlining processes, thus companies employ technology toimprove performance, expand their scope and optimize results. According to García Díaz [1], itmay in turn be deduced that digital transformation allows institutions to adapt to a sociallyresponsible and ethical business model. This in turn allows them to apply a scalable developmentmodel, without forfeiting their influence on environmental impact reduction by streamliningprocesses and reducing consumption of non-renewable materials, such as paper.Likewise, the world has witnessed how technology has been incorporated into various areas,leading to

provide a justification.Twenty out of 30 participants (11 men, eight women, one non-binary student) indicated that,from their perspectives, professional merit seemed to be a primary factor that determinedrecognition and access to opportunities in engineering. For instance, one participant described:“I think to be in a professional or leadership opportunity, you do have to prove yourself.Nobody's going to hire somebody who doesn't have any experience… because you really got toprove, ‘Yes, I know what I'm doing. I'm ethically sound, I am technically sound, I am efficientand I reduce the cost of companies while making a super product.’ So those opportunities are forthose people who have shown that. I think that's true.” (Participant 11)From this

Create Organizational Resources (in Role Clarity and Task Mastery): Newly-hired engineers create new resources and update pre-existing organizational resources when they find the resources provided by the organization inadequate for learning their roles, necessary knowledge, and job skills. Sometimes organizational documentation is missing or hard to access, so, for example, the newly-hired engineer will create a list of instructions for a certain set of processes and either update the pre-existing document or share their work with their coworkers.3.

We defined Sociotechnical Dimensions asinstances where students recognize engineers’ responsibilities beyond technical competence,such as keeping people safe, promoting social justice, or positively impacting society.SafetyOur first code within this theme is Safety, which describes students who connect mechanicsconcepts to the professional and ethical responsibilities of keeping people safe through goodpractice of engineering. These excerpts highlight how mechanics can provide the foundation formeaningful engineering calculations, like finding the allowable stresses in bridges, factors ofsafety in buildings

Severalstudies have examined the effects of students’ use of solution manuals on their performance duringexams 1-7. Many instructors have ethical concerns regarding the students’ use of solution manuals,while many students do not consider the use of solution manuals as scholastic dishonesty1.

Prioritize self-reflection: we need to make interrogating our positionality and assumptions part of our ongoing practice. Praxis is both reflection and action.

One of the Capstone teams [7] suggested the implementationof a pre-lab activity and post lab reports. They argued that a major problem with laboratorylearning is that the experiments become a mindless step-by-step following of the experimentalprocedure. If students start to think about the lab before they get there, then they activate thedimension of thought which coincides with the

our finding that motivation scores dropped from the early to late-semester assessment is warranted. Understanding if this drop is due to an overestimate of motivation in the early-semester assessment, or an actual decline in motivation during the course will be important for those interpreting the results of a pre/post survey methodology. Finally, we will continue to examine the role of caring motivation on student empowerment. While an experimental design cannot ethically be carried out in an actual course, we plan to conduct an experimental design in which we ask participants to rate MUSIC inventory items as if they were a student enrolled in a given
