Recruitment was aimed at participants of diverse genders andethnicities. Participants were selected in their 3rd or 4th year of study as they would likely havehad more opportunities to participate in co-curricular student groups. Participants were offered a$30 gift card as compensation for the time taken to complete the study. Eight participants wereinterviewed in total. Following interviews, transcripts were produced and analyzed usingthematic coding.Results and DiscussionAmong the eight student leaders interviewed, three identified as male, four as female, and one astransgender.

Social responsibility attitudes among undergraduate computer science students: an empirical analysisAbstractScholars have called for improved ethics and social responsibility education in computer sciencedegree programs in order to better address consequential technological issues in society. Indeed,rising public concern about computing technologies arguably represents an existential threat tothe credibility of the computing profession itself. Despite these increasing calls, relatively little isknown about the ethical development and beliefs of computer science students, especiallycompared to other science and engineering students. Gaps in scholarly research make it difficultto design and evaluate ethics education

This percentage is significantly different fromthe figures cited by Stouffer and Russell.From the Ratcliff survey, 61.3% of the schools report content requirements in literature, 60.7%in History, 60.6% in Philosophy and Ethics, 46.9% in Foreign Languages. Further, in keepingwith the understanding that cognitive areas (and related outcomes) are as important as contentareas, Ratcliff’s survey reveals that 91% of the schools report goals in the area of critical readingand writing, 72% in critical thinking, 63% in speaking and listening, 67% in cultural diversityand 55% in global studies.

enormously successful for many years, but changing technological and global competitive realities make such a limited approach no longer appropriate. With the emerging need for multidisciplinary teams, non-technical design constraints, and the ethical implications of engineering projects, it has become evident that engineers must understand and consider the larger context of their work and have the knowledge and attitudes necessary to foresee the potential impact of their work on society and the natural environment.1 Achieving this important goal begins with the way we educate our students. The question is how can we go about doing this? The authors of this paper found useful insights into this question from an unlikely source – a graduate program

To address this, the authors recommend incorporating a formalcurriculum to facilitate students' understanding and articulation of their views on socialresponsibility in science and engineering research. The authors provide suggested case studiesfor engineering educators to incorporate social responsibility topics into their curriculum,enabling students to learn and debate the ethical and social implications of their research,promoting critical

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

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.
