engineering. Among the courses, we identify differences in the extent to which theclasses of students: 1) improved in defining CSR and identifying historical trends in itsdevelopment; 2) broadened their understanding of stakeholders to include oppositional groups;3) believed that CSR would be relevant to their careers as engineers; and 4) considered thattraining in CSR had enhanced their interest in engineering ethics more broadly. We offerpreliminary thoughts on the main causes of those differences, including course content andcontext, instructor background, and length and depth of the CSR modules. Finally, we concludeby tying our research back to the existing work on engineering students’ attitudes and learningabout social responsibility to

findings ofan earlier study suggest that graduate student decisions are affected by some of the same factorsthat influence an undergraduate student [2], this literature is relevant to the current study.There are many factors that contribute to a student’s desire to switch or migrate into a differentmajor. In the STEM fields in particular, a common reason is that STEM departments are themost difficult grading departments at most colleges [1]. Other students become less interested inthe course work of their declared major or discover a preference for courses taken in otherprograms [3], while others perform poorly or find themselves otherwise unsuited for their currentprogram of study [4]. Furthermore, students may discover better career and

Researchers have claimed that intrinsic interest is associated withretention, while extrinsic interest is associated with decisions to change majors. For example,Seymour & Hewitt, in one of the most important and comprehensive works on retention inSMET disciplines, take intrinsic interest to be among the most important factors in understandingstudents’ decision to persist in or to change their major. They claim that “the best foundation forsurvival and success is to have chosen one’s major because of an intrinsic interest in thediscipline and/or the career fields to which it is leading.” 13 It is important to note for ourpurposes that intrinsic interest or motivation is

These objectives are achieved by integrating a set ofexperiments – designed to demonstrate a wide spectrum of BME concepts – into core ECEcourses, along with a new elective providing a comprehensive BME overview. Expected outcome of this project is a learning paradigm, serving as a model for integratingnovel content into core engineering curriculum.
