. Individual writing assignments served as the main vehicle for ethical consideration: at four pointsin the semester, immediately following team presentations and the design brief, each individualstudent submitted a substantial piece of writing examining the ethical dimensions of one of thedesign decisions made by the student’s team. This assignment, dubbed a “consideration,” requireda thorough analysis of the context of the decision, a recounting of the team’s decision along withan alternative option, and a thorough consideration of both the option and the alternative in termsof its ethical implications. The expectation was that students would identify and describe concreteinstances of basic ethical values, clearly distinguishing utility values from

In the MIDFIELD database, the only ACT score variable provided is ACT Composite;therefore, all SATs were also converted to a total score—with a maximum of 1600 (sum of SATVerbal and SAT Math, MIDFIELD data timeframe before SAT switched to separate CriticalReading and Writing scores with a maximum of 2400). For students with two SAT values afterthe conversion, the higher score was used.Next, all high school grade point averages were converted to a 5.0 scale. Only five of the 11institutions had maximum high school grade point averages less than 5.0; thus, converting to a5.0 scale conserved data resolution

This module contained lecturesthat provided students with an ethical framework, including a discussion of the professionalresponsibility of engineers and conducting risk assessments. A case study based on themanufacture and use of asbestos was completed as a class to reflect on the impact of unethicaldecisions in industry. This case study led into a module covering nanotoxicity, an emerging fieldthat is studying the potential health risks posed by nanomaterials.

For instance, in thesecond sentence of her essay, one female student wrote about how she felt at the beginning of thecourse: “I was terrified of public speaking and I was nervous to have to take an entire class onthat.” Another wrote the following: “In September, I was terrified of giving speeches in front ofmy peers. I so badly wanted to drop this class that I cried one night.” Interestingly, the femalestudents on average gave presentations that were at least as strong as, if not stronger, than themale students.

As such, Dym (1994) argues thatrepresentation is central to design, and that the “multiplicity or diversity ofrepresentations” enables reasoning and analysis about function, form, and intent16. As anengineer develops, interprets, and interacts with representations, the engineer mayrespond by retracing the problem objectives and constraints, deciding to revise orimprove parts or the whole design
