Session 2561 Engineering Ethics at Drexel University Mark Manion, Moshe Kam Drexel UniversityI. IntroductionCriterion 3 of the new ABET Engineering Criteria 20001 has the potential to change the way thatengineering ethics and science technology and society studies are taught in the engineeringundergraduate major. One concern voiced by critics has been the shift in the humanities andsocial studies component from the previous “course requirements model” to a progressive modelfocused on assessments and outcomes. While some have regarded this change as a threat to

Introduction to Computer Science + Society: A Multidisciplinary Course for All1. IntroductionEngineering education with a narrow focus on technology may have made sense in the past, itfails to meet the needs of 21st-century students, who will enter industries that fuse theHumanities with various forms of technology. Having a strong background only in STEM fieldswill not prepare tomorrow’s leaders for the complex social issues they will navigate.

Engineering Education, 2015 The Assessing Teachers’ Experiences with STEM and Perceived Barriers to Teaching Engineering (RTP-1)AbstractThe next generation science standards (NGSS) call for all K-12 students to participate inengineering experiences. This will be a new subject area for many schools in the U.S. Teachersreceive training to teach science and math, but most elementary and middle school teachers havenot received engineering or technology education training. As the push for incorporating moreSTEM into K-12 increases, it is important to understand teachers’ attitudes and experiencesrelated to engineering and STEM at the K-12 level.
