Engineering Education Employers have increasingly emphasized the need for engineering graduates to havetraining in communication to support effective collaboration across national, cultural, contextualand disciplinary boundaries [11]. In fact, technical communication training has been shown tohave a positive impact on a graduate’s ability to adjust to jobs and achieve career goals [12]. Atechnical communication elective has long been a requirement at top universities, but only afraction require instruction that is integrated within the engineering context [13, 14]. Success hasbeen shown when offering integrated experiences using appropriate tools, and in a diversecontext [15], but inclusion of this type of curriculum is not as common as
these common scenarios, students likely graduate having learned negative coping strategies, or learned to avoid team environments. “Psychological Safety” is a term first used by Schein and Bennis (1965) to describe how secure and confident an individual is in their ability to manage change. Kahn (1990) later conceptualized psychological safety as an individual’s comfort level to show and employ themselves without fear of negative consequences to self-image, status, or career. Edmonson (1999), however, argued that psychological safety is best viewed as an attribute of team climate. Edmonson defines psychological safety as “a belief that one will not be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns, or

intervention that we suggest engineering institutions test is to start curating engineers’stories in undergraduate education. What we suggest here is to have undergraduate studentscurate their own stories as they progress through engineering education and then archive thesestories so that the next generation can view the variety of stories that have been pursued and,eventually, practiced as professional engineers.Figure 2: A sample curated story of an undergraduate engineer progressing from High Schoolthrough to a company.Figure 2 shows a digital version of an imaginary student’s progress from high school through anundergraduate degree to a career.

Developing more effective teams in which gender and racialminorities can exhibit their potential and enhance their capabilities adds another layer to theimportance of the subject. Teamwork skills are generally developed in group activities, althoughtypically there is no formal training for that, and it is left to students to practice. The currentstudy explored different aspects of teamwork in engineering programs, especially with a focus onthe role of gender and race. For this purpose, participants were categorized based on their genderand race, and since the percentage of non-white
education curriculum provides graduateswith the foundation of knowledge and skills necessary to begin practice in their classrooms.However, it is also recognized that there will probably be a continuous expansion of knowledgeand an evolution of instructional practices over time. Hence, the first college degree should bejust the start of a career-long education process, where continuing teacher education becomes asignificant part of the life-long learning process for the teacher. The challenge for theprofessional development providers is to ensure that the nature, context, and programs keeps upwith the changing base of knowledge and practices required for the classroom teachers.Too many teachers still feel isolated in their classrooms.

Toachieve this objective, however, engineering ethics must more fully engage with the field ofempirical moral psychology.This paper is divided as follows: The first part outlines reasons for adopting ethical behaviors asthe ultimate goal of ethics education, that behaviors are what both professional organizations andthe public ultimately care about, moving on to consider why the adoption of ethical behaviors asan educational outcome would be contentious, that accurately assessing the effects of educationon ethical behaviors is difficult if not impossible.
