The development of suchcurricula and frameworks has been the call of many K-12 science education panels andcommittees [2], [3], including the Teachers Advisory Council, who proposed five benefits ofadding engineering in K-12 classrooms: 1) an increased learning in math and science, 2) anawareness of the work of engineers, 3) the ability to engage in engineering

This paper describes how the department is implementing a newpedagogical and organizational model in which the curriculum is no longer treated as a set ofdisparate courses taught in unconnected pieces, but as an integrated system that fosterscollaboration among faculty and students. Calling for a holistic view of the ECE degree, theteam’s approach is novel because they are, in effect, throwing away courses, yet their vision canbe realized within the structural barriers inherent in higher education.In a discipline known for being rigorous and inherently abstract, ECE faculty are stepping out oftheir traditionally autonomous roles to bolster retention by approaching the undergraduateengineering degree as a complex system

This can lead to scenarios where teachers struggle to find ways to integrate the twosubject areas, citing that the content within the two disciplines are incompatible [5]. In addition,many teachers feel that the classroom curriculum is already too crowded, and use that belief tolimit extensional activities and content [9].Finally, Cunningham and Carlsen, suggest that engineering and science practices are inherentlydifferent [10].

These findings were all on in-service teachers, and some items in the survey may not be applicable to pre-service teachers. Forexample, the question “Did your pre-service curriculum include any aspects of DET?” Studentswho are earlier in the education curriculum may not yet have encountered science or mathmethods courses which is where one would typically encounter DET in an elementary educationcurriculum.

The goal of this project is todevelop a mechanical engineering program where students and faculty are immersed in a cultureof doing engineering with practicing engineers that in turn fosters an identity of being anengineer. This culture of “Engineering with Engineers” is created through changes in four areas:shared vision, reflective faculty, relevant curriculum and pedagogy, and supportive policies. Ineach, a variety of actions create the cultural change, address barriers to change, and ensuresustainability. A common theme unifying these changes is a significant connection to

engineers face. We review recent empirical work on theethics of care and the role of empathy in engineering. Campbell (2013) asked howengineering “professors can teach students to care”. Other work (Walther et al. 2012;Hess et al. 2014) has begun to build a background of how we could begin this integration.We suggest that these approaches are more consonant with design approaches and hencefamiliar to engineering faculty. Engineering ethics can then integrate seamlessly intoengineering education.This paper considers a combination of the philosophical principles of pragmatism and theethic of care as a broad framework for integrating ethics in undergraduate engineering.Such an approach would integrate ethics into the teaching of engineering in a way
