The Minor curriculum includeslearning and application of leadership theory, enhancement of engineering problem solvingskills, development of interpersonal skills (communication, collaboration, ethics, andmanagement), application of systems-level

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

highlight the importance of each ofthese contexts from practical and ethical perspectives, they are then introduced to the Biblicalconcept of Christian stewardship. 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]. In order to tie the concept of sustainability tostewardship, students are then presented with a theological progression, with items 1-9thoroughly supported with Biblical references (included in Appendix B).

According toHassan, an assessment should be “something that affects the students’ learning, confidence inthemselves and their skills,” where “the assessment method can enrich the learning method andthey are coupled together by an appropriate methodology of learning and assessment” [55, p.327].Riley and Lambrinidou’s Canons against CannonsRiley and Lambrinidou explored the addition of six principles to the values and principlescurrently expressed in engineering ethics canon, namely the ethical principles: ● Engineers’ primary goal is to help people in need and to address social problems ● Engineers challenge social injustice ● Engineers practice cultural and epistemic humility

-emphasizing social and economicpillars. 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
engineering skills to addressglobal societal problems. 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. This paper uses a case study approachto document the experiences of students of a global engineering course. This courseoffered students the unique opportunity to address sanitation and hygiene issues byworking with a community rather than for it. The paper highlights curricular innovationsthat ensured ethical, sustainable collaboration with the
daily meetings with mentors, the frequency for which 100% of participants report was “just right.” Likewise, the weekly program- wide lunch sessions were successful at creating a sense of community. ● Women report greater gains in confidence than men, who also had positive gains. ● The 2020 cohort had greater gains in knowledge concerning presenting research and ethics in research, yet lower gains in knowledge related to career options and graduate school awareness and preparing research proposals as compared to 2019. ● Participants report increasing their sense of belonging as scientists, but not feeling like members of a scientific community. 2020 participants were much more likely to report

I am now studying grassroots engineering (GE) and so- cial/solidarity technology (ST), as well as engineering education, focusing, on one hand, on the ethical- political, aesthetics, and epistemic aspects that both characterize and make GE and ST possible, and, on the other hand, on the challenges the engineering education must face in order to train/develop the capa- bilities or skills engineers must possess so to be able of doing GE and producing ST.

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
tasks including things liketechnical coordination, human resources and problem solving in diverse environments [4] [5] [6].To tackle today’s engineering challenges, students must be made aware of societal issues,particularly with relation to injustice and inequity, and the human element which interacts withthe problem at hand. 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

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

potentially serious penaltiesfor such behavior and viewpoints. A very public graphic example of this is the Google echochamber case, where an employee was dismissed due to expressing viewpoints that did not alignwith company values [5]. Professional engineering bodies are increasing the obligations onmembers to report breaches to their code of ethical conduct and making it more difficult formembers to avoid disciplinary processes, for example Engineering New Zealand changed theircode so that “engineers must take action if they observe something of concern” and they mustreport if they “suspect another engineer has significantly breached the code” [6]. Therefore, it isin the best interests of all parties to address disruptive and disrespectful behavior

At the post-test, theinternational research students scored higher than domestic students on three of the four scales(all except Engineering Global-centrism). Similarly, the international research students improvedthree of their four scales from pre-test to post-test (Global Engineering Ethics and HumanitarianValues; Global Engineering Efficacy; and Global Engineering Community Connectedness); thedomestic students decreased on all four scales.
