According to the U.S. Energy andEmployment Report [2], there were nearly 115,000 people working in the U.S. wind energyindustry, and consequently this sector has the third-largest share of electric power generationemployment.

To do so,engineering students at a US-Chinese educational institute in Shanghai, China completed theESIT (Engineering and Science Issues Test) and MFQ (Moral Foundations Questionnaire) beforeand after a course on global engineering ethics. The ESIT uses two measures of ethicalreasoning: The P score assesses the prevalence of postconventional reasoning, while the N2score measures the amount of postconventional relative to preconventional reasoning.

There is an abundance ofliterature on the gender gap in STEM, which attempts to identify causes of this gap and touncover effective interventional strategies. Much research is focused on external factors andhow these impact girls’ self-efficacy such as gender stereotypes, gender bias, and perceptions ofengineering and computer science, as well as on internal factors such as student mindset andinterest level [1] - [6].

African American students’ e-mentoringexperiences in higher education. IntroductionMentoring has long been shown to be a process that can assist minoritized students in science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields (e.g., persons who identify as AfricanAmerican/Black, Hispanic/Latinx, American Indian/Alaska Native) [1, 2]. Yet today, a newform of mentoring, e-mentoring, has emerged as a viable mechanism with the ability to engagementors and mentees differently than traditional mentoring. Mentoring has been shown to beessential in supporting and empowering people during criticall personal and careerdevelopmental stages [3].

By learning a formal discipline, supporters of the theory suggested that studentsdevelop faculties such as memory, attention, and judgment. The model suggested that thesefaculties can then be leveraged to learn other subjects (Leberman, McDonald, & Doyle, 2006).

In recent years, however, there has been a proliferation of novel approaches, as well asdisagreement concerning the form engineering ethics education should take, and criteria fordetermining what would count as success [1], [5]–[7].

It is welldocumented that the practice of engineering requires heterogeneous interactions involving bothpeople and things - humans and technologies - yet often the focus of schooling remains on theinanimate equipment rather than the messy people [1]–[3]. Moreover, engineering courses whichinclude a focus on human interactions like communication and teamwork are undercut by theinaccurate and demeaning labeling of these as “soft” rather than “hard” skills to learn.This false divide between hard and soft, between the technical and social, is increasinglyoutdated and ineffective in preparing engineers to understand and address the
