Another study interviewed OB/Gyn medicalstudents and residents to assess their interest in participating in a global health program foradditional training in low- and middle-income countries; some common barriers by surveyparticipants were cited including scheduling conflicts and time constraints, concerns about costsand funding, a lack of contact with mentors or other contact points for the
blended online and offline learning program, previously used by the PI withnovice data scientists. The training also included a final unit on ethical issues such as privacy,bias and fairness issues in Big Data, as well as issues of implicit bias, all of which are importantin computing. Post-orientation, teachers continued to polish and learn new specializedfoundational concepts progressively within their hosting research groups as needed. They alsoparticipated in optional additional training on more advanced topics that were decided upon bythe teachers, on demand. This included Deep Learning.The faculty member heading up each research project served as the teacher’s formal supervisor,and along with designated graduate student mentors, they

their own philosophies, heritages, and educational processes. Indigenous knowledge fills the ethical and knowledge gaps in Eurocentric education, research, and scholarship (p. 5).This excerpt from Battiste provides a better understanding of how Indigenous knowledge is notonly complementary to the Western conceptualization of science, but it is also a way of life.Indigenous knowledge does not separate the individual from the history, culture, andsurroundings (e.g., the context). Western science and knowledge, on the other side, try toseparate the object (science) from the subject (the scientist). Thus, Western science rhetoric hascreated a false perception of objectivity and neutrality while perpetuating the idea that science,and
work ethic and team commitment played a stronger role in overallsuccess. Moreover, several studies [7, 10, 11] found students in teams with a performance goalorientation (cf. learning goal orientation [12]) tended to divide tasks along gender-correlatedlines in ways that undermine individuals’ learning goals and reinforce minority status. In sum,students’ self-perceptions, their mental models of success in engineering, and how theyformulate their identities are critical to their persistence and success in engineering [13, 14].Women and under-represented minorities (URM, def. non-white, non-Asian) are often therecipients of subtle messages of non-belonging, thus creating an inhospitable environment whichinhibits the formation of professional

theintersections of multiple underrepresented categories are small in number [30]. Small numbers ofstudents can be viewed as “anomalies” not representative of the whole and dismissed.Additionally, statistical power to detect differences or understand students at multiple intersectionsis impossible to obtain in smaller datasets. Finally, these small numbers of students can bedisaggregated from the larger dataset in ways that re-identify participants and make their responsesnon-anonymous, which have ethical implications [8].Qualitative research often focuses on rich and thick descriptions of students’ individualexperiences that can be used as powerful examples [8].

that reflectionplays in students’ lives outside of higher education. We also need to understand the extent towhich negative associations with reflection may result from unintended consequences ofreflection activities in higher education. Knowing more about students’ perspectives onreflection can help us be effective educators and also more responsible, ethical educators.In this work we sought to understand undergraduate students’ perspectives on reflection,specifically the types of engagements they have had with reflection. In our analysis we identifymeanings in motion, varied practices, felt engagements and a school-life divide as important forunderstanding students’ perspectives.Related workReflection can be understood as a form of thinking

thedesign cycle [4]. However, few studies have explicitly examined student learning through thelens of the knowledge and practice expectations of a 21st century engineer [14]. Yet, 21st centuryskills have been embraced by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)and are included in the standards for engineering programs [15]. The 21st century skills includecollaboration and teamwork, creativity, communication, emotional competency, culturalcompetency, ethics, leadership and management, critical thinking, and content knowledge. Afundamental shift in the ABET engineer paradigm with the adoption of the 21st centuryframework reflects a focus on engineers as being at the service to society. The ABET standardssuggest that there is
8 Project Management 15 Ethical ResponsibilityThe undergraduate curriculum focuses on application of rigorous analysis methods,comprehensive evaluation of equitable societal needs, adherence to relevant guidelines andstandards, and determination of optimal solutions to complex engineering problems. Table 2depicts an undergraduate student’s design experience across the undergraduate curriculum.Obviously, a student’s exposure to design complexities increases as the student advancestowards graduation. Typically, the freshmanexperience is limited in scope, but open-endedenough to create a context where students can begin developing an understanding of what the“design process” entails. Students undertake disciplinary
practitioners argue that further improvements are necessary. One of the definingcharacteristics of design is that there is rarely a single correct answer to an engineering problembut, rather, an optimal or acceptable solution leading to a final design, presented as the bestpossible balance between technical as well as non-technical constraints. These non-technicalconstraints, typically involve: economics, politics, social and environmental issues, ethics, etc.And, while professional practitioners generally accept this understanding of design, students, byenlarge, tend to interpret the engineering design process as an unambiguous and clearly definedprocess supported by rigidly applied principles and processes of “the scientific method.”Students’ vision
justice work is by practicing an ethic of care [31]. According to Hill Collins, “theethic of caring suggests that personal expressiveness, emotions, and empathy are central to theknowledge-validation process” [p.766, 31]. Our caring responses to targeted harassment - thosethat acknowledge the emotional toll on colleagues, that do the empathic work of repair - are infact ways of building new knowledge and contributing to the scholarship of engineeringeducation.Conclusion: Counting the Stakes, Calling for ActionThe NAE Report “The Engineer of 2020” [22] emphasized the importance of social context ofengineering practice: “Attention to intellectual property, project management, multilingualinfluences and cultural diversity, moral/religious

Professional identity development (PID) in students is adynamic process as a novice student compares new inputs from training and professionalassociations with previous views; and upon, various levels of internalizations, the professionalidentity may be accepted or rejected [7][8]). PID in students involve students’ beliefs of theirown performance / competence, interests in the profession, and feelings of recognition bysignificant others. It is the
