based on evidence for both science and engineering6.However, not much has been said about the differences in arguments between the two domains.One of the differences that has been explored is the purpose of argumentation in each of thesefields; whereas scientists use arguments for evaluating and explaining natural phenomena,engineers use arguments for finding the best solution for a problem with a given set of Page 26.1460.3constraints. One of the few examples of research in engineering education was a study of collegestudents who engaged in realistic ethical problems in engineering; the researchers found thatthese students were able to

Students noted that theseactivities encouraged them to analyze topics more closely and to consider how to support theseobservations by identifying supporting materials and arguments in the course texts. This year’splays all focused on one topic, the building of the atomic bomb, which also allowed for manydiscussions on ethics and decision making in engineering. Some students noted that these typesof discussions made clear the potential for a multiplicity of ethical viewpoints, and by extensionhighlighted the opportunities afforded by multiple approaches to a problem, includingengineering

To combat this issue, many have argued for writing across the curriculumand taking a discipline-specific view of writing.A challenge, even for these approaches, is engaging students in authentic writing that isfoundational to solving contextual and socially just design problems [2]. Whereas the focus ofmuch core engineering coursework is focused on building technical, disciplinary knowledge,many have argued for approaches that also prepare students to approach engineering problemsmore holistically, considering the ethics and consequences of their work [3].

during both the 3-hour research course and 1-hour seminar and were often a majorfocal point in students’ course projects, these issues did not emerge as a major theme across thepost-course concept maps. Some students included vulnerable populations on their concept mapsas something needing attention, and others noted it in their explanations, but its limitedappearance raises new questions for both the research team and the program about strategies tohelp students more effectively integrate these ethical concerns into their conceptualunderstanding. In part, as suggested by the results, concept maps alone may not be a sufficienttool to capture students’ understanding of a domain as complex as DRRM. At the same time, it ispossible that some

These students focused on personality(mainly introversion and extraversion), people who solved problems differently (top-down orbottom-up approaches), and work ethic as ways in which their peers showed aspects of latentdiversity that made them belong in engineering.The interview process provided an opportunity for students like Nathan (mechanical engineer) toclarify how he felt about diversity of thought in engineering.

isolatedcontext of the classroom, however, a challenge for any intervention will be situating creativeexplanations within the broader landscape of engineering discourse and society. Since metaphorsreflect individual and cultural perspectives and values, emphasizing audience awareness,technical accuracy, and the ethical implications of generating and propagating metaphors will beuseful. A pedagogical intervention could enable a future study in which undergraduate engineersare interviewed about their process of metaphor creation and rhetorical goals. In addition, theeffectiveness of students’ metaphors could be evaluated by surveying their target audience togauge their comprehension of technical content presented with (and without) creativeexplanations.The

Taking this course was motivated by my experiences in a course on decolonizingmethodologies in education. This course shook me in a way that made it clear that colonialismand white-centered ideologies were at work in educational settings. There I had the space toquestion for whom science has been created, and why issues of representation dig much deeperthan getting minority individuals into science disciplines. Moreover, I got to be in space where Iwas truly uncomfortable because of my whiteness. Coming into this course, I hoped to find morespaces to be uncomfortable and
