Engineering Design ProposalThe capstone proposal begins with a problem identification statement that specifically addressesthe history of the problem, the project goals and deliverables, and answers the basic “What?”question. Students are then tasked to complete further research and information gathering, whichwill support the definition of the project. Here, various design solutions are proposed andevaluated via decision matrices. For each project, the realistic constraints as listed inCriterion 3(c) – economic, environmental, sustainability, manufacturability, ethical, health andsafety, social, and political factors – are individually assessed by each team member.

ethically, making a genuineeffort to get to know others and build relationships, and self-sacrifice/servanthood.Summers et al. [3] identified several “soft skills” as being extremely important for engineersincluding: writing reports, team leadership, project and time management, and setting of projectdeadlines. There are many definitions of leadership and lists of skills, knowledge, and abilitiesexpected of leaders. Bowman and Farr [4] describe a leader as “someone who can influence anorganized group toward accomplishing its goals.” They emphasize that the literature supportfour key leadership traits: communication, teamwork, cultural awareness, and ethics.There are various leadership models and debates about what constitutes leadership.

For studentveterans in engineering programs, many of their former military experiences prepare them todevelop clear and effective communication skills and teamwork capacity, which are highlyvalued in engineering fields [10]. Based on their prior military experiences, student veterans arealso likely to possess a strong work ethic and a keen interest in practical problem-solving. Theirstrong

But in doing so, what should the guiding principles of students’behavior with communities be?4. Theory 2: How should engineers behave with communities?In a different writing, we have shown how engineering ethics benefit the relationships thatengineers have with corporate employers while not serving as appropriate guides in theirrelationship with communities. [22] To overcome the limitations of engineering ethics (the codesand the forms in which they are taught), we developed a set of criteria for socially responsibleengineering (SRE), which I highlight here with examples of how students began developingthese

Methods Ethnography, a primary tool of anthropologists, is a common method used to understand culture from the perspective of insiders of that culture. Ethnographic methods include participant observation, field memos, autoethnography, interviews, and focus groups interviews.35, 36 The methodology of this paper is rooted in critical ethnography, which “begins with an ethical responsibility to address processes of unfairness or injustice within a particular lived domain”.21 Decolonizing Anthropology: For the scholar-activist doing qualitative work with the aim of ameliorating oppressive conditions, identity can act as a point of departure for theorizing. People with social identities that are underrepresented in institutions of power experience
that those feelings influence their thoughts, beliefs, and actions [17]. In engineering, weoften devalue the affective aspects of these discussions, and sometimes forget to bring up themoral/ethical aspects of our positions. This architecture develops the moral imagination ofengineering students by examining how their actions impact others.The ability to make meaning of complex, open-ended problems is critical to the success ofprofessional engineers in the workplace [18] and has been examined as a specific difficulty thatengineering students have [19]. The Four Voices architecture provides an alternative to simply"finding the best solution" to the issue being discussed. Instead, it asks participants to considerhow and why different parties

They are; Teaching for Citizenship; Teaching for Living Skills andCompetencies: Teaching for Employment Competencies.Teaching for citizenship “would involve ethics, politics and philosophy and ways in whichtechnological developments can impinge upon and challenge our understanding of moralreasoning”. For example, advances in medicine are an ever present reminder of this effect.Among other matters they raise important questions about the right to die.

Additional recommendations for K-12 engineering instruction havecome from the 2009 NAE/NRC report, which state that engineering at this level shouldemphasize engineering design, incorporate developmentally appropriate mathematics, scienceand technology skills and promote engineering habits of mind11. The engineering “habits ofmind” mentioned in this document refers to the values, attitudes and thinking skills associatedwith engineering and these include: (1) systems thinking, (2) creativity, (3) optimism, (4)collaboration, (5) communication, and (6) attention to ethical considerations11.
