This skillset includes the ability to solve problems which involve, at minimum, anunderstanding of basic algebra. The level of mathematics required often depends upon thepopulation of students a particular physics class is geared for. Non-majors studying physicstypically need to have a working knowledge of basic algebra, while science, technology,engineering and mathematics (STEM) majors need to have some basic calculus under their belts.To promote deeper learning in physics

In thispaper, writing as an engineering design instructor, I present my own successes and challengeswith incorporating notions of social responsibility and macro-ethics in an engineering designlesson. The lesson plan evolved over a period of 10 semesters. I document the process of thatevolution and discuss how students’ responses to activity prompts influenced that evolution.IntroductionWith few exceptions, ethics education within STEM disciplines has mostly remained separatefrom courses that provide instruction in what is perceived as technical knowledge (Leydens &Lucena, 2016). This paradigm tacitly reinforces that science, engineering, and technology
