engage in those reflections needed to evaluate complex situations, which often involve socio-economic and political considerations. Case studies have been shown to be an effective way to do that, and an effective case study allows students to go beyond the simple facts of the case by looking at laws past and present, historical context, and current practice and lead them to make informed decisions [16]. This process not only enhances their analytical abilities but also encourages them to explore new dimensions of the engineering practice, facilitating that much needed shift to a more equitable and socio-centered engineering practice. This broader perspective encourages students to consider the

This matter is especially true for students who started during the pandemic; forthem, the faculty was the only representative from the university. However, FGPs mentionedfaculty only relate to students narrowly on their courses. FGP31 Ig, a transfer student whostarted school during spring 2020, shared an experience when she heard her uncle died duringa class.

At the end of this session, aircraft that flies the longest distance ischosen as the winning design, regardless of weight or size.

and is good for exposing students to a more general background of ethics; however,this sacrifices the disciplinary context covered by the within-the-discipline method [30]. Theacross-the-curriculum method presents students with ethical dilemmas repetitively in multiplecourses during their engineering education; while effective, this method calls for a commitmentamong faculty members to conduct ethics discussions in their courses [30]. Lastly, an effectiveapproach of bridging engineering with societal concerns involves the use of a curriculum modelwith a range of required courses that have ethics components which highly emphasize engineeringethics and the role of engineers in society [11], [30].However, despite such efforts, it continues to be
