What is lessexpected is the significant importance of innovation interests and innovation self-efficacy for engineering studentsinterested in creating societal impact. Deeper exploration reveals that certain academic experiences and proximalinfluences have a direct and significant effect on a student’s interest in impact-driven work, and this relationship isstrengthened by the partial mediation of innovation self-efficacy. As such, this study suggests that the developmentof innovation self-efficacy is important in cultivating engineering students who are interested in impact

Wankat goes further and links engineeringfaculty training with whether the faculty have the qualifications necessary to perform their jobfunctions in teaching26. He cites the AIChE Code of Ethics, which states that “Members shall:Perform professional services only in areas of competence.” The question here is obvious: Is itethical for a chemical engineering faculty member who belongs to AIChE to teach if they are notcompetent in that area?

Additionally, Reness saw that CitizenEngineering “exceeded my expectations on just learning about kind of, like, world issues.” The role of non-engineers in engineering projects was prominent in student responses.Milburn acknowledged their contribution to engineering literacy: “The

Thesewould need to be further defined in order to ensure students were properly considering the needsof their users and the impact on society. For example, one paper further defined the outcome tobe “Appreciate and consider the non-technical constraints (ethical, political, aesthetic,environmental, economic, cultural, etc.) in their work” (A5, p.2).Many of the findings which came out of the research also reflected on the importance offurthering this connection to society.

In the independent learning module, students wrote narrativesabout their career and personal plans, their experiences in the class, and independent learningthat they needed to do to meet their long-term goals. In the ethics module they were asked toreflect on ethical and professional behavior and how that behavior influenced their capstoneexperience.Similar to the “assess and adjust” exercise, as mentioned previously, the first author conductedmid-term evaluations where she asked students about problems in their teams and in the course
