Complete at least three WRIT, Comparative Literature, or Literary Arts courses.At Duke university [5] students can complete the writing requirements for graduation bysuccessfully completing one University Writing Course. Yale university [6] requires only twocourse credits in writing for graduation. Harvard university [7] provides more general optionsfor students to fulfil their writing requirements. Their general education requirements aredivided into four basic areas. Students must complete one from each category: 1. Aesthetics and Culture 2. Ethics and
to communicate effectively with a range of audiences 4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts 5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives 6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions 7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using

As an example,consider the recent public outcry over the unanticipated differential settlement of the MillenniumTower completed in 2008 in San Francisco, California. [11] By 2018, the iconic skyscraper hadsettled seventeen inches. Introducing a topic by using an example in the news adds credibilityand purpose to the learning, provides opportunities for interaction and engagement, and opensthe door for additional discussions on topics such as professional ethics, sustainability, andsocietal needs. Students frequently return to class having read more of the news articles and nowhave an interest in learning about the “how” and “why” of the reported event. They want tofigure it out.

This requires that the instructor explain the ethical and judicial repercussionsof plagiarism, which will hopefully guide the students to police their own practices.10 BecauseOEPs require the students to do independent study on the subject and define a unique idea usinglimited knowledge, another good resource is the US patent database. In spite of the fact that theprofessor needs to carefully guide the students’ selections of good quality patents, the fact thateach patent must have at least one, cookbook-type recipe concerning how to implement thepatented idea, makes it a valuable source for students working on OEPs.

lamp’s design was also guided by ethical considerationsthat had to be integral to the design and implementation of a device for medical applications in alow-resource environment. First and foremost, the students recognized that reducing the cost ofthe device should not come at the expense of its safety. If the resulting product was not safe, itwould unfairly put those who use them at risk, and compromise the goal to develop technologyfor communities that need better medical resources. Additionally, it was crucial to the designprocess that the team was in constant communication with stakeholders at SPHMMC, whoprovided insight into the hospital’s needs and feedback on the lamp’s design.

To meet suchchallenges, the educational system must also adapt to properly equip students with skills neededfor success.ABET, an accreditation agency for engineering programs, identifies that engineering curriculumsmust meet and educate students to be competent in a variety of outcomes that prepare graduatesfor professional practice [1]. Such outcomes and skills are listed under Criterion 3 of ABETwhich include but are not limited to: being efficient in identifying and solving complexproblems, producing effective solutions while considering influential factors, having effectivecommunication, recognizing ethical and professional responsibilities, functioningcollaboratively, drawing conclusions

The student mentors arerecommended by instructors based on exemplary work ethic that was demonstrated as a studentof the course. They receive payment as employees of the university. Student mentors are acritical part of the course as they provide a student point of view. Through this experience, thestudent mentors continue to develop more communication skills through mentorships.Lead Instructor Another way of managing quality across sections is the investment in and appointment ofa lead instructor who acts as a liaison between the Communication Arts and SciencesDepartment and the
assessment of professional ethics, teaching and learning in engineering education, nonverbal communication in the classroom, and learning through historical engineering accomplishments.

success of the project. For example, Robert originally did not evaluate eachindividual’s strengths and instead assigned each person parts without a specific direction. Helater found that the roles had to be redistributed because group members did not know how to dotheir parts, so the tasks were then divided by strengths and were more successfully completed.Similarly, Stanley noted that when delegating tasks for their virtual team project, pairing teammembers with tasks that fit their major helped in keeping the project going smoothly by havingcomputer science majors complete the website and the mechanical engineering majors focus onproduct design and feasibility.

programming interface (API).We developed a python script that connects to YouTube through the site’s API and searches forall the videos that belong to various computer science topics and targets audiences of varying agegroups. The topics include educational videos on computer ethics, data structures, virtual reality,calculus, linear algebra, and biocomputing. The educational videos target various age groups.The search resulted in a collection of 2550 videos. The goal of the search was to find educationalvideos relevant to these topics in computer science. However, it was possible to retrieve somevideos that were not relevant to the intended search queries. Such videos are called falsepositives and were manually removed from the collection. Following

Encouragement badges were awarded for accessing the flashcards or attending office hours; repeating these behaviors earned higher levels of the badges.Three times over the semester students are required to write something: an ethics response onday 01, written instructions for using the right-hand-rule for three-dimensional moments on day15, and a project report on day 40. Some students believe that becoming an engineer means theynever have to write anything again; while assigning writing assignments can disabuse them ofthis notion, we hoped that assigning badges would highlight some of the places where engineersuse writing skills. The writing badges also have

The project s research questions are: 1. What does marginalization look like within engineering classrooms where teamwork is a primary feature? 2. How is marginalization legible (or not) to instructors at the classroom level? 3. What are the different ways that instructors respond to incidents of peer-to-peer marginalization? 4. How might the lessons of this work be implemented to systematically alert instructors when
