entrepreneurship projects are constructed primarily in polysemous, contradictory terms. Students largely perceive empirical reality from secondary sources and superficial immersions in “local culture” that average four to eight weeks at a time. As an initial step in the reproduction of the ideology of humanitarian engineering/service learning, a series of markers are argued to constitute certain “facts” about the “third world” (a term used by engineering educators as recently as 2008). Subsequently the third world denizen(s) appears to stand as an abbreviation or, shorthand for a disparate constellation of attributes identified by outsiders visiting from the developed world. This results from a series of markers that apparently speak of
description of situated learning, Greeno et al. 32 describe knowledge as,“distributed among people and their environments, including the objects, artifacts, tools, books,and the communities for which they are apart.”32 This is nearly identical to Newstetter’s 8paradigm shift description of student learning in engineering design teams. This environment isalso consistent with Salas et al.’s 17 integrative model of team effectiveness. In describing thetheory, Salas et al. reference team leaders (plural) not team leader (singular) and describe howshared cognition affects leadership and vice-versa. Within the context of engineering education,this situated learning environment has been described by Johri & Olds 33 as a promising constructfrom the

should be responsible for teaching this code of ethics to new engineers? How does this code of ethics apply to those engineers who cannot or choose not to become licensed as a Professional Engineer (PE)? (note: PE licensure is not available for all disciplines) What happens when engineers fail to follow these guidelines?After discussing the applicable Code(s) of Ethics, participants shift back to case studydiscussions. “Tweaking the Data” asks participants to consider how the power differentialbetween a supervisor/employee or mentor/mentee can impact the gathering and reporting of data.In this scenario, an inexperienced engineer is tasked with collecting data that ends up surprisingand puzzling the project manager
at the University.Many students measured this lack of course opportunities based on Advanced Placement (AP)options at their home high school. Of the seven participants, students reported between one andseven AP courses at their high schools, which they felt was less than the other students in theircourse of study. Even at the high end of this range, Student A mentioned: “So I guess, also partof that is the classes that we can take, like, the opportunities, because, you know, we only hadmaybe six or seven AP classes.... But then I talk to people that took, you know, 10, 12, you know,even more.” Student D noted that his school only had one teacher qualified to teach AP courses:“We don't have a lot of AP courses and [Teacher]’s, the only one

So like I think and for the sake of like having more time, I think … it would have been more helpful if we'd started earlier on projectsInterestingly, even though most felt anxious about completing the projects in the time allotted,when interviewed at the end of the program, most of the participants felt that 9 weeks wasenough time for the SSEF. The most common feedback from the students was to move theproject and group selection earlier in the program so that expert talks could be arranged thatdirectly apply to their selected topic area(s) and/or to provide them more time for their projects.

In this exercise students, using post-it-notes, generate ideas on how might they solvethe problem to meet the user needs identified in “Define”. Students then got the opportunity tomeet with Milwaukee Bucks representatives to ask questions to validate their thoughts on usersand how they might solve the problem.The next step was Sketching. Using the Crazy 8’s [19] method of sketching, students engaged intwo rounds of sketching where they

Finally, students work in small groups to research one or several SDGs todetermine the importance of each topic, current progress toward each topic’s achievement, andprogress yet needed. As a follow-up assignment, students are asked to write a short paper orcreate a poster highlighting the SDG(s) they studied.Discipline-Specific Systems Thinking ModulesWith the final three topic areas (systems thinking, design, and communication & teamwork),multiple learning modules were developed for each relating the topics to specific applicationswithin the field of civil engineering.

In addition, in versions of the oral exams that wereintended to give the students extra credit, students found that having a second chance to provetheir knowledge increased their motivation to learn. This highlighted to them that the class wasabout increasing their knowledge rather than penalizing them for their mistakes. D. Did oral exams increase students' understanding of the subject matter?In the end-of-quarter survey, students were asked whether they believe the oral exams increasedtheir understanding of the subject matter. Overall, the majority of students found the oralassessment(s) increased their understanding of the subject matter. 72.1% of the valid responsesanswered “agree/strongly agree” to the prompt, while nearly 21.4

Ouranalysis did not uncover any results or findings that could be directly associated with work-lifebalance climate for doctoral engineering students.Discussion Our review demonstrates that 1) when there are studies of climate, constructs were notdefined, ill-defined, or derived from literature outside of organizational science, 2) participantclimate perceptions were often captured in studies of phenomena other than climate and 3)while engineering study results and findings often indicated the presence of organizationalclimate(s), engineering education researchers did not

Sverdlik et al.’s analysis also noted that poor communication of departmentalrequirements may lead to a discrepancy between the student’s and the department’s expectations ofwhat the student needs to do [6]. Such a discrepancy can lead to the student insufficiently integrat-ing into their institution and discipline, resulting in a decreased likelihood of degree completion[7]. In addition, clear communication of expectations may impact students in more ways than sim-ply
an issue or a project that would benefit from a technological solution.Considering the divergence between the code of ethics and the design justice principles, it isprobably necessary to re-consider and revise the code of ethics to be more expansive and includethe design justice concepts. Inclusion of the design justice principles and their practice will be aworthwhile effort for NSPE and ABET to undertake and will be an important step on the path tomaking the engineering education system more diverse, equitable and inclusive.References 1. https://designjustice.org 2. https://designjustice.org/read-the-principles 3.
