A common concern which kept surfacing were questionsregarding how to measure the effectiveness of new curricular efforts geared towards ethics. Asnoted by a team at Purdue [4], one of the only reliable scales for measuring ethical reasoningmechanisms was the current version of the Defining Issues Test (DIT2). The team noted that,although the DIT2 was a validated measure for the general population, it may not be sufficient tomeasure engineering-specific aspects of moral judgment [5]. In response to this criticism of theDIT2’s appropriateness within engineering education, they

theirprofession is also reviewed.History of SMET, STEM & STEAMIn 2001, the acronym formally known as SMET turned into STEM (Science, Engineering,Technology, and Mathematics)[2]. However, this grouping has been recognized in educationalreports since the 1980’s [2]. STEM had been developed by the National Science Foundation(NSF) to group together these disciplines based on the common use of critical thinking andproblem-solving skills [2, 3]. The disciplines that make up STEM are distinct but linked, withthose in engineering also studying physics, chemistry and other sciences and math being studiedin all disciplines [4]. Noticeably absent from this group is the arts, which is not recognized to bepart of STEM.In order to compare ET students to their

Research demonstrates that students view podcast content-delivery as auseful, enjoyable, and advantageous learning tool in traditional, distance learning, and m-learning (using portable, handheld devices to access content) contexts. 1, 2, 3, 4 Studentappreciation for podcast-delivered material is
