communitybuilding between program participants. The program included the integration of math, science,humanities, and economics courses with a seminar series that required students to studyhistorical, contemporary, ethical, and social aspects of the sciences and engineering. Theseminar also introduced project modules that exposed students to interdisciplinary problemswhose solutions required application of knowledge from the students’ current coursework intheir other classes. Student responses from the 1994-95 trial program resulted in the integrationof additional mentoring and social connections for support in the following year. The 1995-96trial was updated and the positive student response to the program only improved. In a follow-upsurvey administered

This environment allowed students to

For example, Roth and McCabe 13 found a strong correlation between student valuesand cheating. An example of this is the apparent success of honor codes based on the idea ofshared communities and individual responsibility at colleges and universities in reducing cheating. Carefully designed honor codes, which speak directly to student moral and ethical standards,have also been found to reduce the levels of cheating 1,13.Demographic factors

The course also included topics in ethics, theengineering method, and teamworking. Team activities and hands-on small projects inducedthem to know each other and develop community sense. INGE-3002 deepened students’knowledge about their chosen field of study and the importance of basic engineering courses forbeing successful later on in their study programs [13]. It connected freshmen, with seniorsworking on their capstone design projects, to learn how the latter carried an engineering design,followed up the solution development process, and attended presentations of completed designs.Freshmen were then tasked with

Additionally, minoritized engineering graduate studentsencounter lack of representation at faculty and student levels, exacerbating unwelcoming feeling,and tokenism as part of diversity campaigns [13], [22].Reason of engagement and experiencesDespite all the challenges mentioned above, minoritized students often embrace their agency toplace issues in the forefront and engage in activities to help them and others navigate injusticesand inequalities. Indeed, community values and a sense of responsibility to respond to socialinjustice give minoritized students the motivation to help others reduce inequities within theirfield and develop equity ethics—challenge social inequities through their vocation—andamplifying

ethic of careand to listen to the expressed needs of the students being served 11. Noddings explains the ethicof care: If my expressed needs are not treated positively, or at least sensitively, I will likely not feel cared for. Attempts to care frequently misfire this way. Would-be carers think they know what the cared-for needs and act on their inferences in the name of caring. (p. 148)Postsecondary administrators often implement initiatives based on the perceived needs of a Page 23.915.3population or because a program has had success in another area. As Noddings discussed, thereis a definite difference between the
, safety, reliability, aesthetics, ethics, and socialimpact. Courses that contain engineering design normally are taught at the upper-division level of theengineering program. Some portion of this requirement must be satisfied by at least one course which isprimarily design, preferably at the senior level, and draws upon previous coursework in the relevantdiscipline”(14).A proliferation of capstone design experiences, over the last decade, has taken place at manycolleges of engineering – all seem to meet some of the requirements noted above. The ABETrequirements is the common thread that links all such experiences for all engineering disciplinesthroughout the US, and also in some other countries that have chosen to use ABET’srequirements.Another

Complementing the newly acquired engineering related skills, a one-day workshop on ethical leadership was presented. A mentorship programme added to the senior WELA members‟ development and responsibilities, in that the senior WELA members were trained as mentors for the junior WELA members. Senior WELA members attended a presentation workshop to improve their communication skills. WELA members attended a workshop on appropriate table manners, etiquette and netiquette. To provide the WELA members in particular with role models from industry and to prepare them for the working world, a discussion on “The road to success - a

For example, students investigating the design of a tornado-proofbuilding (or safe rooms within a building) were concerned about the expense of such houses andwould they be unaffordable to the poor. Many of the groups also grappled with the ethics andcost-benefit of designing buildings to withstand the unlikely event of a tornado. Finally, allgroups engaged in metadiscourse both off-line and on-line. Figure 6 shows two examples ofstudent metadiscourse notes.

emerging technologies, interactive platforms, and industry affiliationsto provide students with an invaluable learning experience. Concurrently, the escalating concernfor environmental responsibility, notably among students, has sparked an interest in pioneeringsolutions like repurposing waste materials for sustainable infrastructure development. This shifttowards eco-friendly alternatives not only aligns with ethical values but also offers a tangibleavenue for students to affect positive change. Within this landscape, the incorporation of wasteplastic into hot mix asphalt (HMA) emerges as an intriguing pathway for enhancing pavementproperties, yet it presents unresolved questions regarding optimal compositions, long-termperformance, and

sharing agreement to share student-level databetween our institutions. In order to effectively comply with FERPA requirements around datasharing, as well as ethical obligations to students, we developed a data sharing agreement thatenumerates each institution’s roles and responsibilities for providing and protecting confidentialinformation. Below are some lessons and recommendations from our experience developing andimplementing this agreement.Determining data needs: Creating the provisions of a data sharing agreement requires knowingwhat pieces of information will be used in analysis (at least in general terms), so that those itemscan be enumerated. We wanted to limit sharing to what was needed out of respect for studentprivacy. However

I continued to work in engineering part time remotely as a I completed mymaster’s and PhD. My academic training is in humanities, but religion is an interdisciplinaryfield that allows for many methods, including ethnographic methods. For my dissertation, Iundertook a qualitative study of Cambodian women who were leaders in their Buddhist andChristian religious communities, my work funded by a Fulbright award.
