) and for architecturalengineering technology programs overseen by the Accreditation Board for EngineeringTechnology (ABET). The design and construction sectors operate on a profit-driven model, yet the integration ofeconomic analysis in architectural design education remains inadequate. The existing standardsgoverning economic analysis in architectural design, both in professional practice andinstructional activities, suffer from a lack of clarity. This discrepancy is evident in theaccreditation standards set by NAAB for professional programs and ABET for architecturalengineering technology programs. NAAB requires that “SC.2 Professional Practice [1] – How the program ensures that studentsunderstand professional ethics, the regulatory
, the goal of a conference presentation is to get someone to read your paper, and you don't need to show all of the details. The goal of an oral examination by a faculty committee is to convey that you are an expert, so it is important to include some "fast ball" slides (and be prepared to get detailed if questions are asked). 8Ethical conduct of research. Ethical considerations are always present in research. The first isplagiarism. It is good to broach the topic on Day 1. Students need to know that you takeintegrity seriously. Tell them always to give credit where credit is due, and not to claim anyoneelse’s ideas as their own. Self-plagiarism is also an issue. Each
[4].An additional benefit of a project-based curriculum is the ability to emphasize dimensions ofengineering design decisions that go beyond the technical functioning of a part or component.Research has shown that engineering curriculum in the United States prioritizes technical aspectsof design problems over social dimensions, but success in the engineering workforce requires anunderstanding of the interplay between both facets [5]. In this context, “social” as a termencompasses environmental, ethical, economic, health, safety, political, and cultural factors [5].The inherent duality of social and technical factors in the solution to a materials design problemis showcased beautifully in “the dual tetrahedron” proposed by Savage et al.

We see opportunities to identify howconceptions of race, gender, and ability have shaped scientific thought and engineering practicethroughout history. Additionally, there remains a need to critically evaluate claims about thescience of human difference and analyze the complex relationships among engineering,technology, and ethical responsibility in current social contexts in which engineering ispracticed.

,students opting for the minor will complete six courses: one course in each of four corecompetency areas, and two elective courses. The core competencies are: 1. Data Science Literacy. An introduction to data science, data ethics, and the use of data for public benefit or detriment, with emphasis on how data are used to represent marginalized and/or minority communities. 2. Mathematics in Data Science. Key lessons in statistics, linear algebra, and other math concepts essential for data science. 3. Algorithmic Thinking. Computer programming in Python or R. 4. Data Curation and Analysis. Data gathering, data visualization, data analysis, and software tools used by data scientists.To round out the minor
addition, these experts identified the need for honestengineers with unwavering integrity. More recently in 2019, the American Society of Civil Engineers(ASCE) brought together over 200 engineering educators and professionals to discuss the capabilitiesneeded by today’s civil engineers to solve society’s complex problems. One of the four major objectivesidentified as pathways to preparing engineers to meet society’s needs was to elevate professional skills toa truly equal footing with technical skills [5]. Specific skills included communication, teamwork andleadership, lifelong learning, professional attitudes, and ethical responsibilities. Thus, while most mayagree that technical prowess is the most essential characteristic of an engineer, all

The focus of this paper is on some of those professional skills.Below are some examples of things that many employers look for in new engineering graduates: Leadership examples in school, at home, at work, in outside organizations, etc. Previous relevant work experience, preferably internships, co-ops, and research projects with professors.

The empathypractice of perspective-taking has shown promise for developing ethical responsibility,promoting an awareness of others, and facilitating effective interpersonal interactions amongengineering design learners (Hess et al., 2017; Walther et al., 2017). While the majority ofresearch has focused on empathy in students, empathy and perspective-taking have beendescribed as an avenue for engineering faculty to “understand their academically diverse studentpopulation” (Hess et al., 2012, p.15), allowing them to more adequately assist students

Division members have developed a considerable amount of research around this approach [1].• Responsible Citizenship: Some work emerging from TELPhE has advocated for technological literacy as a component of responsible citizenship. A key theme in this group is the idea that given the pervasive nature of technology as part of everyday life, technological and engineering literacy should include an ability to understand the social, political, economic, and ethical implications of technological developments [1].• Engineering Literacy for

This claim is based on the first canon of the American Society of CivilEngineers (ASCE) code of ethics where it is stated that engineers should consider the safety andwelfare of the public as their first priority. The code of ethics hosts 7 fundamental canons that acivil engineer should always follow. The first of the seven cannons describe the concept ofsustainable development.Engineers shall hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public and shall strive tocomply with the principles of sustainable development in the performance of their professionalduties.” [6]The recent infrastructure

For instance, the projects which include ethical, environmental, and politicalaspects of construction are divided into smaller pieces. The students’ work resulted in a deeperand more detailed investigation of the assigned topics than similar projects. In addition, thestudents will learn more from peers during the presentation by this method. Also, they practiceworking as a part of a larger team, which can be the entire class.An example is a project to understand the interdisciplinary nature of construction projects andencounter the students with logical
