however, WEdoes not imply “writing intensive.” Certified WE courses are not meant to be “writing classes;”instead, writing should be one of several instructional focuses, as required by the new WEinitiative.Since this new initiative is taking effect in Fall 2021, the WE Committee has not established thefinal assessment criteria. The plan is to have each program submit an assessment processregarding the WE related learning outcomes.Literature Review:Writing is an important skill that all engineers should have.

individual’s decision-making in the face of discrete moral or ethical quandaries. Yet,prior scholarship by Joseph Herkert [2] suggests there is a multi-layered set of ethical obligationsthat range for microethics––or individual decisions––to macroethics, which reflect theprofessional society’s values and ethical obligations. Macroethical dilemmas result in the“problem of many hands”, as described by van der Poel and Royakkers [3]. This brings to lightthe notion that individuals or even large organizations are not solely responsible for engineeringprocesses and uncertain outcomes. For it is clear that no individual or discrete organization hascomplete control and authority for the complex socio-technical innovation process from designto implementation

The survey included eight measures which reflect a wide variety ofcomplementary constructs and measurement domains, including both general and engineering-specific measures [26]. The semi-structured interviews are the focus of this paper and thus theinterview protocol will be discussed in more depth in the following section. Results from thisstudy have been previously published and include quantitative analysis of the initial and mid-point surveys, thematic qualitative analysis of the initial interviews, and qualitative analysis of asingle construct, such as moral disengagement [27-32].

Thisresearch paper draws on data from three focus groups that were conducted with a total of 26undergraduate engineering students at three U.S. universities. The students were enrolled inengineering courses with ESI content, and the focus groups included discussion of the specificcourse that was being studied by the research team as a potential exemplar of ESI instruction andof students’ broader exposure to ESI inside and outside the classroom. In all three courses, thestudents were seniors and thus could reflect on their undergraduate experience. The focus groupswere

in this article.Dr. Marie Stettler Kleine’s research on humanitarian and integrated engineering programsinspired her reflection on how different forms of contextualization and the vocabulary used todescribe them signal different ways to best teach engineers. Her graduate training in science andtechnology studies and human-centered design prepared her to see that these forms ofcontextualization are much more nuanced than using particular language, but this varyinglanguage fundamentally changes the engineering pedagogy in practice. She continues tointerrogate why and how engineering educators learn from other disciplines to explicitlyprioritize contextualization.For Dr. Kari Zacharias, this project has been an opportunity to reflect on the

TheCOVID-19 pandemic thus provides an opportunity to investigate dimensions of engineeringculture during a crisis, which can open new avenues for conversations about equity andaccessibility in engineering by identifying which aspects of culture are most and least amenableto change. In other words, disasters can help uncover ‘what really matters’ and potentially offer anew avenue for cultural change.This paper and its larger research project aim to capture student experiences and reflections, intheir own words, in order to understand how dimensions of engineering culture interacted withpractices in engineering education during COVID-19.

In this paper, we therefore seek to share insight from our team’s experienceswith sociotechnical integrations and our perceptions of the impacts of these integrations on ourstudents, including how we can use our experiences for formative classroom purposes.This paper presents the results of a qualitative analysis of faculty reflection logs written by twoinstructors who implemented sociotechnical thinking in their classrooms.

The hydraulic system—shown in Figure 1—consists of avertical test tube, two optical measurement systems (reflective and passing), air pressure and flowmeters, and an air compressor. The electronic system consists of a computer-aided data acquisitionsystem (CADAS) and a prototyping board with a Wheatstone bridge, which is interfaced to NIELVIS using a digital oscilloscope.

sociotechnical nature of design to identify underlying principles that inform andguide best practices for teaching design and operationalizing humanistic purposes in engineeringeducation. Opportunities exist particularly in the open-ended, ill-defined, reflective, and socialnature of design. Leveraging these in teaching practices and curriculum promotes a broad andwell-rounded education that inspires and enables a creative and productive life, and that isnecessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context. Assuch, design provides a unique opportunity to incorporate and promote the underlyinghumanistic qualities that operationalize humanistic purposes in engineering curricula.IntroductionPeters c.f.
