divided into five pieces where each piece has yellow end points. These breaksin the wave act as stop signs or decision points between the five stages. Before moving from onestage to another, designers are encouraged to take time to pause and reflect in order to makedecisions that are evidence based, ethical, and equitable. Thus, socially engaged designrecommends designers to be reflective practitioners—to look back at both their design processand current design outcomes at regular intervals [73]. Different decision points will requiredifferent kinds of reflection but generally designers may be asking themselves: Do I have enoughinformation to move forward? What information is still missing? Is this meeting the needs of mystakeholders? What

We use the Code of Ethics for focused discussions aboutcentering inclusivity, equity, climate mitigation and resilience, and social justice in theirengineering work. These activities fall under ABET student outcome 4 (an ability to recognizeethical and professional responsibilities in considering the impact of engineering solutions in aglobal and societal context).2.3 Computational and Data Science for Civil & Environmental EngineeringIn Spring 2021, we adapted a sophomore-level CEE course focused on computational and datascience to include DEI

Instead, they weretangled non-linear webs of activities – exactly what is needed to solve messy tangled problems.And their drawings contained a high number of non-traditional design topics - economic, ethical,historical, social and political impact - that were integrated into the traditional design process. Inessence, they had learned to view engineering design in a wider context.Without grades or credits, our role becomes that of a cognitive coach - a motivator, guide andemotional support.

And as Rogers, noted about the nature ofengineering thought, “No other one thing ties the engineering profession more closely together than thisway of thinking.” 12The Task Force notes, whereas scientific research is frequently needed in complex systems engineeringdevelopment projects to gain a better understanding of phenomena, arising or anticipated in the course oftechnology development, it is not the primary driving force for the creative profession and the practice

In 1996,the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) revised its Code of Ethics to includesustainability principles as part of the canon of civil engineering practices25. Other professionalorganizations, including the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), theAmerican Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and the American Society of ChemicalEngineers (AIChE) have endorsed sustainability education26,27.2.

diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). For the most part, these have not been presentin the education of engineers. As a result, the majority of engineering professors are ill-equippedto engage in discussions of these matters with their students.To address this reality, engineering education must begin to embrace and introduce students tosome of the tenets and course content of the arts, humanities, and social sciences. There areuniversities today that are conducting what is known as a Grand Challenge Scholars Program inwhich students are prepared to achieve competencies in entrepreneurship, systems thinking,ethics, the understanding of different cultures, and the recognition that their engineeringsolutions must serve the purpose of contributing
initiative, 25 engineering faculty members actually implemented S-Linto at least one of their courses during the 04-05 academic year and 34 faculty in 05-06. In2005-06 over the two semesters an average of 700 undergraduate students participated in S-Lprojects in 52 courses, some with required S-L projects and others elective. This wide variety ofcourses included, for example, a first year introduction to engineering with 300 students,kinematics, soil mechanics, heat transfer, engineering ethics, electronics, plastics design, strengthof materials, and a senior EE capstone course on assistive technology with 70 students.Community partners included the Lowell National Historical Park, many local rehabilitationclinics, a local food bank, the City

Kazerunian and Foley17 stated that most engineers arenot being offered an education that values creativity in their work, which has impacted breadth ofthinking for engineering students. Educators, far too often, promote narrowly focused,prescriptive design methods over providing opportunities for students to explore larger issuesand new ways to think about engineering practice. As one example, in the year 2000, 80% ofengineering programs did not include ethics-based courses aimed at broadening engineeringstudent thinking. Only a subset of the remaining 20% of institutions included engineering ethicscourses, and the others relied on courses in the social sciences or philosophy.18 As professionaland educational organizations began to realize the need

Technical preparation consisted of: “…theperformance of the functions of analysis and creative design…mastery of the fundamentalscientific principles associated with any branch of engineering…the ability to make criticalscientific and economic analyses and to organize these into clear, concise, and convincing oralor written report”. Socially the engineer should be prepared by: “…the development ofleadership…a deep sense of professional ethics…an understanding of the evolution of societyand of the impact of technology on it; and acquaintance with and appreciation of the heritage ofother cultural fields; and the development of both a personal philosophy… and a sense of moraland ethical values...”.

Introductory SessionThe first session was an informational meeting where students learned about the project’s goals,completed training in camera use, filled out consent forms, and could ask questions. The sessionbegan with an icebreaker that asked everyone in attendance to state their names, hometown, major,and a current event that had their attention. Breakdowns of desirable norms for group meetings, asummary of what photovoice is, and participation expectations were discussed. Critical guidelineswere also given for ethical considerations of photographing others, including requiring consentforms for featured individuals.E. Individual InterviewsTeams of two facilitators conducted the individual participant interviews. The interview protocolwas loosely

Two outcomes that were strongly related to high reportgrades were being able to properly paraphrase literature information as well as properlysynthesize it into an argument. These last two outcomes were particularly weak for teamsconsisting solely or primarily of graduate students. It is recommended that undergraduatestudents receive reinforcement of library research skills, while graduate students requireadditional instruction in paraphrasing, synthesis of ideas, and ethical attribution. Additionalresearch is needed to examine the IL background of international students.IntroductionThe Materials Processing and Process Selection course (ME6500) at Northeastern

Thisempathy learning can happen within engineering but can include other disciplines so thatengineers can think like or empathize with non-engineers [13]. Jaycox, et al.

HE in a general sense, we move to consider the purpose ofengineering education specifically, making use of various UK reports to define thecharacteristics of the ‘new’ engineer. In recent years there has been an increasing emphasison the need for engineers to apply systems thinking to solve complex engineering problemswhilst considering the wider context [22]. Engineers should behave in a socially responsibleand ethical manner whilst demonstrating cultural awareness. They are expected todemonstrate a range of professional skills including communication, teamwork, project andrisk management, business awareness and leadership [22], [23] and there is an expectationthat they will engage in their own personal development and lifelong learning [22
, Vakil and Ayers invite STEM educators to: "Imagine the possibilities that open when being a 'STEM person' (as a programmer, student, teacher, scientist, engineer, technician, or professor) invites a world view and set of cultural, ecological, and societal storylines that are synergistic with the kinds of values, morals, and ethics associated with participation in historical resistance and freedom struggles. One can be a scientist or engineer and a community activist without irony or pause. Or a political engineer, for instance, whose curiosity and pursuit of technical knowledge and understanding is always guided by a motivation to imagine and design new technologies that resists oppression
