All teachers convened on the campus of PU for the orientation activities.The teachers than worked at their respective campuses for most of the summer, before re-convening on the campus of PU for the final presentations and program conclusion. The co-Director of the RET Site at PU visited the other campus (TU) for a mid-program review anddiscussion with teacher participants and other sustainable electronics researchers. Teachers wereintroduced to research ethics, research methods, research specific training, library resources, andstate science standards, among other topics, during the orientation week. Teachers were alsointroduced to resources on-campus that focus on P-12 STEM learning and outreach. Activitiesincluded lectures as well as hands
andTranquillo, 2014).Values Thinking and Live Case StudiesValues Thinking derives from the ethical dimensions of over-consumption and theinequitable distribution of resources, but extends beyond these considerations. Anabbreviate list of elements of value thinking are: • Considering how various views, values and cultures have been constructed from past choices and preconceived value-based beliefs (Rawls, 1985). • Recognizing major human conflicts as arising from conflicting worldviews, unequal resource allocation and historical biases (Ostrom, 1990). • Positioning value-based tensions between stakeholders in ethical terms. • Finding mechanisms to be more inclusive and equitable across stakeholders to reduce bias
the developmental efforts presented in our paper.A representative design spine-like curriculum in our department is shown inFigure 1.In summary, from past efforts in the arena of capstone design curriculum development, thefollowing general aspects are noteworthy: 1. Importance of student working in teams, formed through a mix of knowledge and interest. 2. Project topics that represent real-world situations. 3. Division of the design course into a more theory learning phase the project execution phase. 4. Systematic structure with an emphasis on professionalism and ethics. 5. Analysis of student learning through surveys. 6. Application of pedagogic strategies such as team-based, collaborative and competitive learning

The instructor was also asked to communicate his learning objectives in written form, and we took anecdotal field notes during our initial meetings when we discussed the possibility and implementation of the study. Two consecutive cohorts of students (N=80 per cohort) were invited to participate from two course offerings: Winter 2013 and Winter 2014.

If a computer is used inthe communication of multiple individuals, how could misuse be detected and controlled?After the opportunity areas were defined, the teams envisioned future scenarios that illustrate animproved operator task flow with the integration of mixed reality technology. A head-mounteddisplay (HMD), the Microsoft HoloLens, was chosen to allow hands free operation. As part ofthe multidisciplinary teamwork, the technical limitations from the mechanical engineering pointof view had to be understood as well as the current limitations regarding the software andhardware of the HMD device.Follow up conversations with engineering lead to a more thorough, holistic understanding
sufficient cachet that accreditation is not necessary. This may be true; who would not hirea Stanford University graduate simply because the computer science program at Stanford Univer-sity is not accredited by ABET? At the same time, conforming to accreditation standards and peerreview would have helped Stanford or University of Texas avoid headlines that revealed that theircomputer science students have been graduating without taking course work in ethics, somethingABET accreditation standards have required for decades 7 . In contrast, several high-profile andprestigious programs such as MIT are accredited. In this case, presumably, the program or theinstitution has seen value in the accreditation process, or even perhaps to signal to lesser

The goal of this course is not only to teach students the tactics and tools necessary tosecure a job, as emphasized in the work of Sharp and Rowe [12], but also to introduce studentsvery early on to the types of skills that they should be developing

They are challenging to frame and scope, giventhe lack of an obvious “stopping point” when the problem to solution process is complete.Wicked problems reflect pressing societal issues like climate change, transportation and urbandevelopment, healthcare and technological unemployment – problems that frequently engage thetechnical expertise of engineers but require a breadth of disciplinary knowledge outside ofengineering as well, requiring strong collaborative skills and an intellectual

Researchers like Cech [1] and Foor & Walden [2] have noted the disconnect betweentechnical training and social responsibility. The education system they propose may bridge thisdisparity. Cech [1] sees a culture of disengagement where technical skills are valued more thansocietal concerns, while Foor and Walden [2] cite resistance to diversity efforts, highlighting thenecessity for early and proactive DEIB involvement in education. These findings encourageestablishing a curriculum that is technically adept and ethically and socially aware. These ideas'practical applications, as reported by [3], [4], [5], [6], reflect our

]. Gen Y (born 1980 – 1996) and Gen Z (born 1997 – 2010s) workers aremostly leaving for non-financial reasons (ethical, cultural, relational and personal factors) [16].Some of the suggested reasons are related to employers and work cultures. For example, someare leaving because of toxic corporate cultures [17]. While this is not a new phenomenon, lowemployment makes it much easier to leave toxic workplaces. Some are leaving because of thelack of opportunities at their previous employers [18]. With low unemployment and remoteworking, many more opportunities are available that may not have previously been an option.Some other reasons that have been suggested include: Those who got COVID are much more likely to quit [19], New skills
