These six classrooms (two kindergarten, two first grade, and two second grade) wereidentified based on how well the educator followed the curriculum and the amount of interactions(students to teacher and student to student) captured.

social responsibility and moral decision-making,specifically in terms of engineering pedagogy.Keywords: social responsibility, embedded teams, human-centered design (HCD), engineeringeducationIntroductionSince Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) was first introduced in the 1950’s to expandorganizational bottom-lines from profit and legal considerations to issues of social impact, CSRhas grown into a global force for linking corporations with the areas in which members live andwork. Extant research has explored CSR on a broader organizational level, without necessarilyconsidering how social responsibility manifests on the team level. Thus, we contend that feelingsand understandings of responsibility experienced by students working on design

While these programs were developed independently of Rottmann et al.’s2015 work, there is a convergence between the explicit and implicit models of leadership thatemerge from these four programs, Rottmann et al.’s model, and other recent models ofengineering leadership, as discussed further below.The four programs that serve as case studies here have curricula that were developed, inengineering leadership and more broadly, from a similar starting point: careful consideration ofthe skills and abilities required of 21st-century engineering graduates in response to calls forengineering education reform from professional engineering bodies over the preceding decade.For example

Crowley et al. also explicitly addressed empathy, recognizing itas a “foundational component of emotional intelligence.” Notably, while Welker andCarlson’s and Crowley et al.’s papers treat empathy respectively as a framework forengineering students’ moral and emotional development, neither one cites sources thatexplain the theoretical underpinnings of empathy. The lack of reference to academic sources on empathy lasted for a few more years,during which time a number of papers appeared in ASEE that explore the role of empathyin communication, teamwork, and design, and yet authors of these papers

Theslides included descriptions of common rating problems including giving everyone on the teamthe same scores across all dimensions, giving the same teammate the same scores across alldimensions, bimodal ratings (giving one teammate all 1’s and others all 5’s), etc. This lecturealso included a discussion of what information you are trying to give your teammates whenrating them and how the results of the evaluations can be interpreted in order to improve teamperformance. General comments were also made regarding what the rating patterns looked likein the class without identifying individuals or teams that used poor rating patterns.
