of the compounding errors that yield catastrophic results. Morerecently, a second approach has emerged in the teaching and scholarship and stands in starkcontrast to aspirations for greater control. This approach seeks to foster reflexivity and learningabout one’s own context and broader societal implications of engineering practice. Robbins [8]offers the notion of the “reflexive practitioner” as an emergent theme in engineering ethics.However, there are few examples for how such reflexivity can be demonstrated in the educationand maturation of engineers. This project aims to address that knowledge gap in a small, but important way, byassessing reflective writing by engineers in an undergraduate program. This paper offers datafrom 65
prevented more students). This course coverstopics in adversarial modeling, cryptology, side-channel analysis, Hardware Trojan Horses, andmore, all related to hardware cybersecurity. Similar to previously discussed courses, students hadto complete quizzes and assignments. Hardware Security has a project and an exam, as well. Theproject is chosen by the students with guidance from the instructor, and could hardware, software,or a combination of both. The exam was also subject to multiple submissions, with an 80% beingrequired to pass, similar to an exit exam. This course’s details have been discussed in previouslypublished work [8, 10].4.3 Administrative ConsiderationsAt Wentworth Institute of Technology, there are no teaching assistants, and thus
leadershipnetworks should be considered in addition to communication networks to understand teamdynamics.Limitations include the sample size and the frequency of observation. The nature of the casestudies construct limits the ability to determine the impact of specific design stages or activitiesthat can be controlled in laboratory experiments. Future observational studies can address theselimitations.Future research is recommended to determine if these networks develop or change through thelifecycle of the project team and the role of project design team size on network characteristics.Additional similarity measures can also be applied for additional insights. Research is alsorecommended to determine if the degree (leadership) and frequency of influence

She has been actively involved in ethics, equity and leadership education in engineering since 2011.Dr. Aleksander Czekanski , CEEA-ACEG Dr. Aleksander Czekanski is an Associate Professor and NSERC Chair in Design Engineering in Lassonde School of Engineering at York University, Toronto. Before beginning his academic career in 2014, Dr. Czekanski worked for over 10 years in the automotive sector. Dr. Czekanski attention is dedicated to newly established Lassonde School of Engineering (York). He devotes his efforts towards the enrichment of Renaissance Engineering program by including interdisciplinary
classroom and laboratory curricula including online course platforms, and integrated technologies. She has been involved in both private and government grants as author and project director, and is currently PI of an NSF ATE grant, ”Increasing the Number of Engineering Technicians in Southeastern Pennsylvania.” A major goal of this collaborative effort with Drexel University is to connect for-credit, occupational technician education to workforce development certification programs. She was the faculty advisor to two student teams that made the final round of the NSF AACC Community College Innovation Challenge (CCIC) in 2016 and 2017. She and her students have been involved in STEM related outreach to local community
