Since the lessons were optional, the inverted classroom was not used in thissemester but rather a traditional lecture setting. Therefore, this semester has been included in thetraditional lecture results. Also, it can be seen in many of the results below that the data from thespring 2018 semester falls between the old (traditional lecture) and new (inverted classroom)averages, indicating that the addition of the online adaptive homework had an impact on theresults, but not as much as the full courseware package or inverted classroom experience.

We have created a social innovation program called Ignite that uses the principles of human-centered and liberatory design to educate a global community of students on engineering conceptsthrough design thinking rooted specifically in the SDGs. The Ignite curriculum contains three keycomponents: (1) creation of a physical prototype, (2) a community-based design challenge centeredon the use and implementation of the prototype, and (3) peer-to-peer learning, which results in avirtuous cycle of learners who become leaders who generate more learners.

To assess studentdevelopment of curiosity, a direct and an indirect assessment for curiosity were integrated intothe curriculum for a first-year engineering honors program at a large midwestern university. TheFive-Dimensional Curiosity Scale (5DC), a 25-item instrument developed by Kashdan andcolleagues, was implemented as the indirect assessment. The direct assessment for curiosity wasdeveloped by the research team and tasks students to brainstorm about a topic and then write 10distinct questions about that topic. Both assessments were administered at two time points in theacademic year. A subset of data of 54

There is also evidence that programmaticorientations (e.g., entrepreneurship, business, and community engagement) affect students’ethical perceptions and decision-making [16]. In addition, research on a service-learning designprogram found that a human-centered approach utilized in that program helped students orient toethical considerations, motives, and decisions, yet the students tended to narrowly focus onethical concerns linked to interactions with users while struggling to explicitly see the salience ofethics for their day-to-day design work [17].Previous research continues to reveal novel insights about engineering students’ understandingsof ethics and social
