Engineering Ethics

motivated some of this paperoriginally. I would be remiss not to point out how Whitbeck [20] also made this point aboutethical decision-making as design as well.GF: First, thanks for bringing up the Whitbeck [20] article. I agree that there is overlap betweenengineering in ethics and “ethics as design,” inasmuch as both perspectives see ethical ends,judgments, and solutions as contingent upon the exigencies of a problem’s context, namely theconstraints, allowances, and specifications that delineate possibilities. While Whitbeck appearsto come to this conclusion through the experience of engineering design processes and practices,engineering in ethics was initially derived more from a Dewyian theory of experience and ethicalinquiry, as well as an

The mechanical engineering programs must also ensure to meetthe ABET Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) program criteria [8] and to addressABET EAC student outcomes (1) through (7) in the curricula [9]. Often, the desire forcurriculum revision is also met by other constraints. For example, the California Code ofRegulations Title 5 CCR §40508 mandates that no baccalaureate degree programs shall extendthe unit requirement beyond 120-semester units. An exception can be

Studies have shown that student sense of belonging inthe classroom, major, and institution can positively impact performance in future engineering classes andoverall retention rates. Sense of belonging has been identified as particularly important to the retention ofunderrepresented minorities and females.

How do curricular elements of a first year Cohort program impactretention of students through sophomore year and graduation? For now, while more detailedmapping of STRIDE activities to student performance and retention could be interesting,collection of aggregate performance data and reporting of Cohort activities is more practical, anduseful at this stage. It is also helpful to try and identify if there are differences in the impact onstudents from different disciplines. The present paper focuses on the impact on engineeringstudents versus that on non-engineering students.CONCLUSIONSThe engineering students in Cohort 2 of STRIDE – a First-Year
