Reinforcing this sense of responsibility throughout thecurriculum helps increase students’ awareness and judgment, which supports their ethicaldecision-making in practice [33]. One student in Fluid Mechanics noted that the intervention“show[ed] how broad of an impact the technology we might be working on in the future canhave on the country and the world sometimes.” The hydraulic fracturing activity helped thisstudent understand the potential implications of his future career and this was an importantoutcome since he planned to pursue employment in the oil industry.The narrow technical focus of individual courses in the engineering curriculum can obscureconnections between, and implications of

Prior to joining UCF, Mr. Stresau was a faculty member at Eastern Florida State Col- lege (2006-2012). Mr. Stresau began his industry career in mechanical design and manufacturing (1998), and joined United Space Alliance as an engineer on the Solid Rocket Boosters (SRB) for the Space Shuttle Program in 2000. In 2004, he transitioned to a senior engineering position in Engineering Integration and Project Management, working with mechanical, thermal, hydraulic, electrical, pyrotechnic, and propul- sion subsystems. Mr. Stresau served in that capacity until the completion of the Space Shuttle Program in 2011. Mr

For example, in 2016,Vargas-Ordóñez [5] found, in exploratory research, that Colombian chemical engineers do notconsider themselves as active agents in solving social problems like poverty, epidemics, orColombian armed conflict. Also, in a later study, this author found that students andprofessionals of Chemical Engineering from Bogotá and Manizales (Colombia) do not considerthey are trained in a humanistic approach during college their desire to help people [6] duringtheir professional careers.

In the learning context of PBL, students develop authenticquestions for problems that are situated within real-world practices [3], which leads tomeaningful learning experiences [4].Competences, such as critical thinking and communication skills promoted by PBLmethodologies, are increasingly important for engineering practice. In the labor market it isexpected that engineers not only work in technical contexts, developing solutions that meetclients’ needs, but also perform their work through effective collaboration with others [5]. Inengineering schools, these competencies are usually taught in the design courses at the finalstages of the career (Capstone Course), which use project-based learning

the PBL handbook [13] outlines the need to scaffoldproblem-based learning. In effect, scaffolds transfer responsibility from the teacher to the studentby fostering autonomy. The chapter discusses two overarching purposes of scaffolds: to guidestudents through the task such that they are able to effectively engage with the problem, and toassist students in identifying and focusing on the most important aspects [14]. Such prompting issignificant for fostering agency and deeper engagement in students, who need to prepare forsimilar situations in their future careers. However, the actual effect of adding scaffoldingprompts in ill-structured engineering tasks is not clear; additionally, the impact of scaffoldingprompts on collaborative

As instructorswe have noticed that many students, even after taking multiple courses related to energythroughout their college career, still do not have a broad understanding of energy relatedconcepts and its significance in solving sociotechnical problems. One of the challenges we haveobserved is that students often lack a cohesive definition for energy. Energy concepts are oftentaught to students in ways that do not connect to their lived experience. Many students do nothave a way to relate personally to the subject, and thus struggle to see how these concepts arerelevant to either their personal lives or their future work as an engineer.In this paper, we will begin with a short literature review on energy education followed
