graduate attributes that address issues such ascommunications, the role of engineers for society and the environment, ethics, or lifelonglearning, are often taught in standalone courses in otherwise packed “technical” curricula, whereconnections to engineering can be tenuous. Student workloads fail to represent the humane,ethical society we try to instill, with study schedules that disrupt healthy eating, sleeping, orengagement with the world. Engineering education rarely has student-centric pathways andflexible assessment to overcome systemic barriers to diverse learning. Attempts to tackle thesechallenges individually often prove difficult, where the issues are often intertwined. As a result,the Space Engineering program at the Lassonde School

Intra-team evaluation:Qualtrics-based intra-team evaluation survey instrument was used by the instructor to gaininsights on an individual student’s project participation and work ethic. Each member of theteam provided an evaluation of their team members working on the project. The evaluationresults were shared with each student as an aggregate (without disclosing the names of teammembers who provided the comments) if there were project participation issues. The intra-teamevaluation was used by the instructor to adjust the team assignment scores based on their peer-perceived participation levels. We feel that intra-team evaluation is a good way to capturestudent

Powered by www.slayte.com Training for Life: Reimagining a Codes and Regulations CourseAbstractCodes and regulations provide a baseline of expectation for civil engineering practice, and inturn, engineers influence the codes and regulations to create new best practices. To address aneed for embedded ethics instruction at the upper level, a reimagined Civil Engineering Codesand Regulations course allowed students to examine how common civil engineering codes andthe ASCE Code of Ethics relate to the need for community engagement and professional bestpractices to realize equitable civil infrastructure. By expanding the definition of codes andregulations to include the ASCE Code of Ethics and professional ethical expectations

The First common First Year (FCY) curriculum was implemented in Fall2020 and formed to introduce certain basic skills to engineering students; and acquaint students with the interaction of skills, techniques, logic, and creativity in engineering problem formulation and solving. The FCY curriculum includes classical foundational studies in calculus, chemistry, physics, English, and new studies in computational thinking (programming/ data science), Bioinspired engineering design class, and Ethics/humanities science.

A shortlecture and assignment related to engineering ethics and empathy was then used as a smallintervention. Results are presented between control groups that did not participate in theempathy module and those who did as well as from pre-module and post-module surveys.Conclusions are further drawn from an analysis of the assignments. It is found that thisintervention produces stronger outcomes in upper-level students who expressed more difficultyin crafting empathic responses to professional scenarios than first-year students.

intellectual property is a legal entity, itsmisuse is both a legal and ethical concern. Additionally, the fields of engineering andtechnology use IP as economic capital, so there are practicable business considerationsthat are beyond the ethical and legal.The important question is: what is the future of engineering and technology professionsas a generation of digitally-tuned students assume positions where decisions aboutintellectual property are made daily? Can we expect these individuals to makeappropriate professional decisions without specifically addressing the issue in ourcurricula? This legal and ethical issue is related to a general concern about cheating.Misappropriating intellectual property in the form of information (quotes, references

practices have been documented as a contributor tothe lack of gender and ethinic diversity in engineering. Re-contextualizing civil engineeringcourses has shown to increase students' motivation, sense of social responsibility, and agency.The ASCE Code of Ethics states that “Engineers … first and foremost, protect the health, safety,and welfare of the public,” a notion that was first added to the code in 1977. In recent years,some civil and environmental engineering (CEE) faculty members and programs have respondedto this ethical imperative by re-contextualizing civil engineering education in relation to thecommunities (“the public”) the civil engineer is ethically obligated to protect and serve.

of this paper, I propose three definitions aligned with engineeringresearch, and then later examine attributes of other possible definitions from the data collected inthe study.Macroethics and microethics were defined by Joseph Herkert in [8] in a paper that reflected onvarious viewpoints of engineering ethics: “Putting all these frameworks together, an interesting pattern emerges. Engineering ethics can be viewed from three frames of reference—individual, professional and social— which can be divided into ‘microethics’ concerned with ethical decision making by individual engineers and the engineering profession’s internal relationships, and ‘macroethics’ referring to the profession’s collective social

According to ABET [3,4], Data science draws on knowledge, skills and abilities from computing, mathematics, and statistics, allapplied in the context of domains that make use of data. The pervasive reach and multi-disciplinary nature of datascience causes special challenges in uniting traditionally separate disciplines into a coherent approach that produces ethical and well-trained practitioners.
