To address the aforementioned challenges and assimilate massive amounts ofinformation, the instructors decided to use case studies to help introduce basic concepts with thebackdrop of real-world design scenarios during the 50-minute design lab. In addition to thedesign lab, MasteringEngineering™, which is an online teaching and learning platform designedby Pearson publishing company, was used for assignments and integrated into the learningmanagement system (LMS) for the course. MasteringEngineering™ was also used to providereinforcement outside the classroom given the video tutorials available.

In these models, as inother initiatives in competency-based education, a student moves through the curriculum essentiallyat their own pace. Once they have demonstrated mastery of a topic, say by performance on a test orother assessment device, they are free to move on to the next topic. Students who do not demonstratethis mastery are given reinforcement, before being assessed again. The

as to whySTEM is important in today’s world through small examples of what already exists. This is doneas a step toward increasing the standing that the United States holds currently within the world’sSTEM community, which is low compared to other countries. This is partially due to a lack ofinterest that many American students have in STEM-related fields. To fix this, the STEM-relatedactivities that students perform in schools today need to incorporate what they do in theireveryday lives.1.

Indeed, taking one or possiblytwo engineering ethics courses as part of a degree program may not have a lasting impact onstudents embarking on professional careers. However, alternatives to semester-long ethicscourses may be more effective and impactful. In a systematic literature review on engineeringethics education, Hess​13​ (2018) suggests integrating micro-insertions of ethical decision-makingacross the curriculum. For example, the micro-insertion of asking students to choose betweentwo refrigerants by weighing not only environmental impacts but also adding costconsiderations​14

On one hand, there was a recognition of the importance of social and politicalcontext across students’ disciplinary backgrounds. However, this did not necessarily mean it wassimple or straightforward for students to integrate these perspectives into their work. “There was certainly a belief that I was on the team to ‘do the social stuff’ required on the course, from both myself and my fellow team members. There was an underestimation of the significance of the social science, in the fact that social science principles must be applied to any development project, in a sense they
