influenced by society's cultural, political, economic, and socio-technicalcontext. However, traditional engineering education tends not to equip future engineers with thecritical thinking and tools necessary for interpreting their obligations in relation to codes ofprofessional ethics and the duty to hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public.Ongoing environmental and societal challenges (ranging from social inequality to the climatecrisis) urgently require the development of an engineering workforce that can perform successfullyin a multicultural and globalized world. This paper shares the pedagogy and lessons learned fromimplementing an undergraduate course at the University of Connecticut based on a Human Rights-Based Approach
. For his second master's thesis, he focuses on identifying the individual and institutional factors that contribute to a "culture of disengagement" from the ethical dimension of engineering work among students in the engineering profession. His Ph.D. project is funded by the NSF and is concerned with promoting and improving engineering students' ethical behavior and sensitivity through on-campus student organizations. His academic interests include mental health, international development, human rights, and engineering ethics. Currently, his ambition is to work within an international organization such as UNESCO and to be an advocate for promoting science and technology as critical tools of sustainable development as
skills,interpersonal skills, discussions of ethics, and other key competencies. Classroom topics can beimmediately applied, and course learning outcomes (including a research poster presentation)encourage students to disseminate their work. In addition to the regular faculty supervisor,CREATE-U students were also assigned a graduate student mentor in their lab.In this paper, we intend to present our evaluation of the aspects of the program outside of the twocourses. Our research questions were: 1. How effective were course-based interventions to increase undergraduate engineering student understanding of and interest in research? 2. How effective were attempts to create equitable and broad-based admissions into an

BehavioralResearch Ethics Board at the University of British Columbia (UBC). Participants were recruitedthrough professional networks. Recruitment was aimed at participants of diverse genders andethnicities. Participants were selected in their 3rd or 4th year of study as they would likely havehad more opportunities to participate in co-curricular student groups. Participants were offered a$30 gift card as compensation for the time taken to complete the study. Eight participants wereinterviewed in total. Following interviews, transcripts were produced and analyzed usingthematic coding.Results and DiscussionAmong the eight student leaders interviewed, three identified as male, four as female, and one astransgender.

Social responsibility attitudes among undergraduate computer science students: an empirical analysisAbstractScholars have called for improved ethics and social responsibility education in computer sciencedegree programs in order to better address consequential technological issues in society. Indeed,rising public concern about computing technologies arguably represents an existential threat tothe credibility of the computing profession itself. Despite these increasing calls, relatively little isknown about the ethical development and beliefs of computer science students, especiallycompared to other science and engineering students. Gaps in scholarly research make it difficultto design and evaluate ethics education
