The lack of validated assessment methods for process safety thinking, coupledwith the general lack of authentic situations in which students can make these decisions presentsus with an opportunity to address both points. In this paper, we will discuss both the creation of avirtual process safety environment which attempts to address the authenticity issue, as well as thedevelopment of an assessment tool, the Engineering Process Safety Reasoning Instrument(EPSRI), which is based on previous work in assessing students’ moral and ethical reasoning inan engineering context.Project ObjectivesThis work

Research- Engineering Empathetic Engineers (E^3): Effects of the humanities on engineers' critical thinking and empathy skillsKeywords: Discourse Analysis, Interdisciplinary, Team Teaching, Post-secondary EducationTraditional disciplinary silos have separated engineering and the humanities, creating gaps inengineering students’ skills. Technical knowledge and aptitude have long been a mainstay inengineering education, whereas critical thinking, empathy, and ethical reasoning have been keyin the humanities. In an ever complex and interrelated world, society's grand challenges call forproblem-solving that provides technical innovations while considering and understanding thepeople involved and affected by that innovation.

Engineering CurriculumAbstractLessons learned from case studies have had a significant impact on both education and practiceof engineering and related disciplines. The history of practice in many engineering disciplines is,in large part, the story of failures, both imminent and actual, and ensuing changes to designs,standards and procedures made as the result of timely interventions or forensic analyses. Inaddition to technical issues, professional and ethical responsibilities are highlighted by therelevant cases. Pilot studies had assessed the use of failure case studies in civil engineering andengineering mechanics courses at Cleveland State University under an earlier NSF sponsoredproject.

Thesecritiques elevate the need for clarity around defining sociotechnical design education.Other criticisms have come from local, state, and national legislative actors who have advancedefforts to curtail or ban the teaching of the “divisive issues” in primary, secondary, andpostsecondary education [13-14].

Six major priorities emergedfrom our analysis: societal impacts and ethical issues, algorithmic thinking, data and analysis,inclusive computing culture, AI, and career knowledge. The significance of our findings is thatthey present a broad overview of what a variety of relevant parties consider to be the mostimportant CS content for high school students; this information is important for educators,administrators, and those who develop curriculum, standards, and/or teaching tools.1 Introduction and BackgroundThe field of computer science (CS

engineering suggest thatstudents should be cognizant of and prepared to act upon these issues concerningmacroethics—the social responsibility of the engineering profession [1]. For example, ABETStudent Outcome 2 notes that students must develop an understanding of engineering designincluding “consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social,environmental, and economic factors.” [2]. Additionally, the American Institute for Aeronauticsand Astronautics’ Code of Ethics says that engineers are expected to “hold paramount the safety,health, and welfare of the public in the performance of their duties” [3].

the follow-up question, why do engineers solve problems?is not as frequently communicated. Engineers solve problems for the benefit of society. Evidencefor this role is seen within the National Society of Professional Engineer’s code of ethicscannons and rules of practice, the first of which is “Engineers shall hold paramount the safety,health, and welfare of the public [1].” While not every engineer will be providing individualizedproblem solutions, i.e. care, the discipline of engineering is intended to provide solutions andcare to society. Engineers are societal caregivers. The problems engineers are called on to solve, are complex, not just from anintellectually rigorous perspective, but also from the myriad of societal, ethical
