Only professional communication and teamwork skills are covered in-depth at 40% or more of responding institutions. Teamwork and ethics were both taught at amajority of institutions in 2012 [1], but most of these topics were not on the survey then. All ofthe topics listed are covered at least lightly in a majority of responding institutions exceptnegotiating skills, which was also low on the topics taught list in 2012

(REU) in Engineering Education Elizabeth Volpe, E.I.T., Denise R. Simmons, Ph.D., Sara RojasAbstractThe development of inclusive leaders is essential for the success of future engineering and ournation. Equipping students with vital leadership-enabling competencies is necessary to develop aworkforce that is prepared to act ethically, and responsibly, and tackle unforeseen challenges inthe future. Inclusive leaders, or leaders that are self-aware, empathetic, and prioritize diversity,equity, and inclusion in their decision-making, are essential for the forward progress ofengineering. A growing body of literature highlights the numerous ways in which students maydevelop leadership skills outside of the classroom through

A nationallyrepresentative study of engineering instructors and administrators showed that both programchairs and instructors reported their programs and courses gave only slight to moderate emphasison understanding how engineering solutions could be shaped by social, environmental, political,and cultural contexts or considerations, despite acknowledging the importance of such emphases[12]. Relatedly, in a longitudinal study of undergraduate engineering students, Cech [13], [14]found that students’ beliefs in the importance of professional and ethical responsibilities,awareness of the consequences of technology, understanding of how people use machines, andtheir social consciousness all declined over the course of their degree program

Empathy impactscommunication [26], design processes [27], professional success [28], ethics [29], and the overallculture of engineering [24]. In this paper, a framework of empathy developed within theneurosciences is adopted. Decety & Moriguchi [30] neuroscience approach to empathy hasestablished four components of empathy: affective sharing, self-awareness, emotion regulation,perspective taking & mental flexibility. Affective sharing means one can reflect upon the feelingsof another. Self-awareness allows one to distinguish the self from the experience of another.Perspective

There are tactics that I can use something that's not super super hard.This suggests that the teaching approach of these first-year instructors have been shaped by theirunderstanding of the course material and awareness of the common challenges studentsencounter. On the other hand, Chandler found that topics such as MATLAB, CAD, and thedesign process are more straightforward to teach than abstract concepts like ethics, which heenjoys teaching but has found students to be disengaged during classroom instruction: I like teaching ethics. I generally enjoy those lectures, but I find that students are so disengaged, like, automatically when you start talking about ethics. It's not all of them

The SaS framework defines Christian stewardship as theresponsibility Christians have to actively manage and make use of the resources God hasentrusted to them in a manner consistent with God’s commands and character. This idea can bemost succinctly captured by 1 Corinthians 4:2, which states “Now it is required that those whohave been given a trust must prove faithful” [13].

Furthermore, most instruction on sustainability, as reported in the literature, appears tofocus on teaching the engineering student to be an engineer who practices sustainabledevelopment rather than a consumer who has a role in sustainable practice. In part, thisemphasis on the engineer's role in sustainability is a result of the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET)'s mandate that engineering undergraduates complete theirdegrees having achieved student outcome (c): “...an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability

Also, the ABET criteria requires engineering programs toprovide “the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutionsin a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.” These two factors haveraised fundamental questions about how to effectively prepare engineering students toengage with underserved communities globally.

One notable researcher who spans these decades is John Heywood, whose“Engineering literacy for non-engineers K-12” argues that the non-engineering public must cometo appreciate the potential and the limitations of engineering, to situate that understanding withinsome ethical framework.1 He extends this work into a more-detailed explication of engineeringliteracy, worth replicating in whole: Engineering literacy requires that we understand how individual’s [sic], organizations and society interact with technology, and this requires an

Very often, topics such as social justice and ethics are thought of astangential to the engineering curriculum, to be covered in other general education classes or notat all. This omission conveys to students the idea that these issues are separate from “realengineering” (or worse, inconsequential), lessening their ability to meet today’s globalchallenges [7].Many engineering educators will argue that it is not our place

, comprised of threetopics with many ties to engineering ethics. Service to society describes a broadening of thetraditional ideas of economic development and expansion to include a deeper consideration ofhuman and nonhuman impacts of engineering. Dignity and worth of all stakeholders opens theidea of what is traditionally considered to be a stakeholder to include the natural environment.Engineers as whole professionals questions the assumption that engineers can be entirelyimpartial in their work, but instead that they bring their own culture, personality, and morality totheir work. All these aspects of empathy should be considered in engineering education.MethodsFollowing the work of Sochacka et al. [9] using the propagation paradigm, the original
