This choice involved invoking “a processoriented approach to the remaking of a curriculum…, involving external stakeholders. Thisapplies sound systems engineering principles to the engineering curriculum itself” [1].“The re-building strategy…is a fundamental change of academic view linking academia withsocietal context and needs…by emphasizing a shared set of values, identity and commitment.

To help remove these barriers, we revised the course for spring of 2020to incorporate teaching best practices, which included a change to tutorial- and video-basedinstruction instead of real-time note taking, improved alignment between course material andassessments, and a switch to mastery-based assessments. These types of changes have beenshown to improve student attitudes and reduce failure rates in introductory programming courses[1-3]. However, the link between course format, student performance, and student attitudestoward programming remained unclear. If we clarified this link, students could be betterequipped to solve engineering problems and perform engineering

principles undergird the course. This problem in thedynamics curriculum has been recognized for some time, as Ellis and Turner [1] considered theuse of concept maps as a remedy to this problem as early as 2003.However, the content of dynamics is not the only thing that can cause students to struggle toorganize its ideas. The way it is taught may also be a part of the problem. Most textbooks (andhence most courses) first use kinematics to describe motion and later use kinetics to relate forcesand accelerations. This organization makes perfect sense if you are designing a mechanism: adescription of the motion is needed first, followed by a calculation of the forces that will act ondifferent parts. However, little design work occurs in an introductory

  Early Career Engineers’ Views of Ethics and Social Responsibility: Project OverviewIntroductionDespite recommendations from leading stakeholders for increased attention to ethics inengineering education [1, 2], a growing body of anecdotal and empirical evidence suggests acontinuing lack of serious attention to ethics, social responsibility, and related topics in mostengineering degree programs [3-5]. To address this, organizations like the National Academy ofEngineering have taken steps to identify best practices and exemplary programs as “a resourcefor those who seek to improve the ethical development of engineers at their own institutions” [6].Recent research in engineering ethics has also aimed to measure
