For engineering educators, this arose most often as an issue in the curriculum – thesiloing of engineering coursework from ethics or social responsibility explorations in science andtechnology studies classrooms. Participants identified the success of integration, such asproblem-based work that had students engage real-world problems with dire consequences, or (inlieu of such examples) shared aspirations to achieve integration of ethics and socialresponsibility into the

To situate the line on the track, the research team used infrared reflectivephototransistors to design sensing and control algorithms.

This allows students to gauge the interest levels of potential teammates for projects theyare interested in as well and choose teammates that have complementary skills, thus maximizingtheir potential for success. To measure the efficacy of this system, post-process data analytics wasutilized to gauge the utility of the proposed method to help form student teams.
