, the National Academy of Engineering’s report “The Engineer of 2020” [2]describes the ability to frame problems within a sociotechnical and operational context as anessential part of the engineers' toolkit, along with other professional skills, such as goodcommunication, business and management aptitude, high ethical standards and leadershipabilities. Similar reports from professional bodies conveyed that graduates are also expected tobe dynamic, agile, resilient, flexible, and to work with a strong sense of professionalism [1] - [4].So, while none of the programs had an a priori commitment to engineering leadership, they alldeveloped curricula that were at least in part a response to globalization, the increasingcomplexity of engineering
, interviews and surveys were conducted with 88 industryleaders in Florida. The goal of the survey was to identify the set of skills and competenciesacademia should produce to meet industry requirements in the area. The identified skills andcompetencies were used to guide the research team in the development of a new skilledworkforce oriented curriculum.The survey concentrated on two categories or set of skills, the soft skills and the technical skills.Soft skills included: Communications, team work/collaboration, work ethics,innovation/creativity, global competency, financial literacy, and flexibility/adaptability. Whilethe technical skills concentrated on the depth of technical knowledge, critical thinking andjudgment abilities, and system thinking

andTranquillo, 2014).Values Thinking and Live Case StudiesValues Thinking derives from the ethical dimensions of over-consumption and theinequitable distribution of resources, but extends beyond these considerations. Anabbreviate list of elements of value thinking are: • Considering how various views, values and cultures have been constructed from past choices and preconceived value-based beliefs (Rawls, 1985). • Recognizing major human conflicts as arising from conflicting worldviews, unequal resource allocation and historical biases (Ostrom, 1990). • Positioning value-based tensions between stakeholders in ethical terms. • Finding mechanisms to be more inclusive and equitable across stakeholders to reduce bias
longer used theexcuse of lack of knowledge or lack of expectations as a defense when confronted about theacademic integrity violation [4]. Since the premiere of the video, one of the authors at NC Statehas developed additional resources in the area of academic integrity, including suggested syllabuslanguage, a reflection assignment, discussion prompts for a discussion of ethical behavior, anassignment cover sheet, and a form to prohibit students from sharing copyrighted course content[5]. As a result of these changes to the MEB course at NC State University, the number of cheatingincidents has decreased by 50% over pre-intervention numbers, and almost all students who areconfronted with evidence of their violation have chosen to accept
out undesired experiences in eachdepartment based on social consensus.MethodsBefore conducting this study, an ethics protocol was submitted and accepted by the research ethicsboard of the institution (ID: 36998). An online survey was distributed to engineering doctoralcandidates across engineering departments at [name withheld] in early 2019. The survey questionswere intended to collect information about the demographics of candidates (i.e., home department,year taken, type of exam, etc.) as well as their perceived experiences and thoughts on the purposeand utility of the CQ exam. The survey was pilot tested by 3 external reviewers, points ofclarification were noted, and survey questions were adjusted accordingly and finalized once theauthors

professional skills.Scholarly journal articlesThere are scholarly journal articles that report results of surveys of employers and alumni onwhich skills are most important for early-career engineers. Most of these articles are not specificto ME. Many of the following articles are discussed in Ref. [17].Tryggvason et al. report on a major revision of the ME curriculum at the University of Michigan[18]. This revision was informed by a survey taken in 1993 in which alumni rated courses andtopics based on their importance; design and creativity, technical communication, interpersonalskills, and professional ethics were rated as the most important; alumni also stated that they werenot as well-prepared in these areas as they were in traditional ME technical
intervention:Traditionally, engineering has been viewed purely as a technical problem-solvingdiscipline [11], pushing engineers into the real world with a “one-size-fits-all” approach.Consequently, advanced technological solutions to problems around the world are beingcarried out with little understanding of the solution’s local economic, social, and/orenvironmental impacts. To bring about social justice and sustainability throughengineering solutions, values and ethics must be at the forefront of current engineeringcurricula.

Feisel and Rosa outline13 potential learning objectives that include instrumentation, models, and data analysis, but alsocreativity, ethics, and sensory awareness [1]. Educators across science and engineering areworking on shifting from cookbook laboratories to more authentic scientific experiences [2-4].Round and Lom describe a “continuum of autonomy, responsibility, and immersion” in labexperiences, with cookbook labs at the lowest level and apprenticeship in a research lab at thehighest level [5].The integration of lecture and laboratory experiences is effective for linking the theoretical andpractical and for increasing student

Importance of student working in teams, formed through a mix of knowledge and interest. 2. Project topics that represent real-world situations. 3. Division of the design course into a more theory learning phase the project execution phase. 4. Systematic structure with an emphasis on professionalism and ethics. 5.
