The course, The Sky’s the Limit: Drones forSocial Good, engages students with drone technology as well as the awareness of the needs,challenges, and resources of diverse communities and how drones can serve these communities.Humanities, ethics, and human centered design are explored in the context of engineering, andinterwoven throughout the semester.

Because these themesoverlap, a final section of the paper is devoted to papers that

Greg earned his bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering with a minor in Global Poverty and Practice from UC Berkeley where he acquired a passion for using engineering to facilitate developing communities’ capacity for success. He earned his master’s degree in Structural Engineering and Risk Analysis from Stanford University. His PhD work at CU Boulder focused on how student’s connections of
focus primarily on mobile applicationdevelopment itself. These students, the makers of the future mobile technology, who areinvolved in app creation – from defining the concept to requirements gathering, to finalimplementation – takes into consideration how the app will work successfully and effectively.However, their design decisions are not always made thinking about how the application willinfluence the user, the community, and the society at large. To address this critical issue, in thispaper, we report our experience with weaving the notion of social and ethical computing whiledesigning and developing an upper-level computer science course on mobile questionnairedevelopment. Our primary course goals were twofold: 1) Teach students the
Gupta is Assistant Research Professor in Physics and Keystone Instructor in the A. J. Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland. Broadly speaking he is interested in modeling learning and reasoning processes. In particular, he is attracted to micro-genetic and socio-cultural models of learning. He has been working on how learners’ emotions are coupled with their conceptual and epistemological reasoning. Lately, he has been interested in engineering design thinking, how engineering students come to understand and practice design, and how engineering students think about ethics and social responsi- bility.Dr. Chandra Anne Turpen, University of Maryland, College Park Chandra Turpen is a research

Research demonstrates that action-orientedcollege students attain higher grade point averages and engage in more extracurricular activitiesthan state-oriented students. In the PFE course series, students create and maintain a personalizedundergraduate career roadmap using experiential learning activities. Students set goals, and trackand assess their individual progress to achieving those goals. They use Risk Managementprocesses to resolve ethical case

These events introduce students toprofessional development through required extracurricular activities. PLI sessions are mostlytaught by industry leaders, with some involvement from faculty and staff who specialize in thefive focus areas. Over a typical 4-year undergraduate plan of study, students are required toattend 11 sessions distributed across the five focus areas. Additionally, students who wish tobroaden their

The objective of thiscurriculum is to provide students with a toolkit of important BME skills to make themcompetitive for industry careers as well as graduate school. An emphasis on design and project-based learning will help our students develop their communication skills, critical thinking, andtheir ability to work in teams. We plan to weave in issues of social responsibility and ethics intoour BME curriculum

Over the decades, the EF program adapted to meet the changing needs ofundergraduate students, with options for shorter sessions and the addition of a module onEffective Presentation Skills in the early 2000s.In the 2010s, the EF program directors began to explore opportunities to expand the curriculumto address new challenges.

was to keep the students fromhurting their own systems or putting themselves in danger of breaking a law (for example,hacking into a private or government system), while also ensuring that the students are operatingin a realistic and contemporary environment. This second point is especially difficult as studentsmust see cybersecurity outside of small exercises and apply their skills in a realistic manner.The authors will review the types of projects that students have completed in the last four years atWentworth Institute of Technology. These descriptions will include details of the projects and thetechnical and ethical challenges that accompanied each. These tips and best practices are intendedto provide instructors with a starting point as
Ethics in the Affective Domain Level Example Receiving Individual reads a book passage and recognizes the relationship to ethical behavior. Responding Individual participates in a discussion about the book, reads another book by the same author or another book about ethical behavior, etc. Valuing The individual demonstrates acceptance of the concept by voluntarily attending a lecture on ethical behavior. Organization The individual organizes a study session for other students on topics related to ethical behavior. Characterization The individual is firmly committed to the value of
adaptability inprofessional life. What is more, he introduced interesting questions about automation and labor,some that could help students engage the ethical and moral dimensions of robotics. Yet, thenarrative he constructed is ultimately from the perspective of the business owner who profitsfrom technological unemployment. It may be the case that questions about the negative intendedand unintended consequences of STEM might be difficult for teachers to navigate and may evenappear contradictory if the goal is to inspire entry into affiliate careers.Considering her students’ age and interests, Deborah proposed that an older student or a roboticsteam might be appropriate guest speakers.

We therefore created aprogram that begins in the last term of the participants’ freshman year, with a service learningEngineering Ethics and Professionalism course, and allows students to work on service learningprojects for a local community organization in the summer. The design projects, with theirinevitable need to revisit design choices, teach students to build grit and learn from mistakesthrough the iterative process of design, build, and test. It also builds their engineering identity, asthey see themselves more as real-world problem solvers. The service learning aspect enablesstudents to see the impact of their engineering abilities on their local community and motivatesthem to
attributes cluster for a new engineer in engineering practice asperceived by key engineering stakeholders. The data consisted of perceived similarities between eachpossible pair of graduate attributes collected from engineering student, faculty and industrystakeholders. Multidimensional scaling analysis showed that the 12 graduate attributes can beconceptualized as four clusters, which we have suggested be titled, Problem Solving Skills,Interpersonal Skills, Ethical Reasoning, and Creativity and Innovation. These findings, supported bythe relevant literature, highlight the need to further explore how engineering competencies cluster inpractice to add empirical support for program changes aimed toward educating the whole engineer.1.

prepare undergraduateengineering students to become managers and leaders of teams in the first years of their careers,but also to inspire them to ultimately chart a path toward becoming leaders at the top oforganizations. There are two facets of the revamped RCEL 2.0 certificate experience that willenable this. First, RCEL 2.0 will still offer a rich, focused suite of fundamental engineeringleadership development courses. A major addition to the fundamental leadership curriculum thatwas not in the prior one is the inclusion of new competencies in project management andengineering ethics [2].The second facet of the certificate will require each student to choose one of four career directionshe/she is likely to pursue after graduating from the
student volunteers to respond to their individualrequests. Structured programming that promotes undergraduate peer-mentors in the Faculty ofEngineering can benefit WINONE as the facilitator of these types of requests as well as thestudent mentors, ensuring that students are properly screened through application process andreceive official recognition of their service within the faculty.Iron Pin Ceremony: Despite first- and fourth-year courses that address topics like ethics and professionalism in engineering, the consensus amongst administration was that additional programming should be introduced to address academic dishonesty within the faculty. With this intention, the first
