ResearchersAbstractThis pilot study explores engineering students' views on social responsibility in undergraduateresearch experiences. Participants displayed high concern for human welfare and safety butneeded more education and training to understand the importance of being socially responsiblescientists and engineers. 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

Intra-team evaluation:Qualtrics-based intra-team evaluation survey instrument was used by the instructor to gaininsights on an individual student’s project participation and work ethic. Each member of theteam provided an evaluation of their team members working on the project. 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. We feel that intra-team evaluation is a good way to capturestudent

The course, taught in the fall semester, usuallyoverlapped with a major international climate summit. Using the 2009 Copenhagen summit ascase study, students analyzed the conflict between countries in the global North and globalSouth, with guided prompts and background reading to aid them in understanding andincorporating into their analysis the power relations evident in the climate talks, borne ofhistories of colonialism and present-day neoliberal economic policies. This case study wasamong several ethics assignments offered throughout the semester, and in some years was part ofa
