each of the eight recommendationsfrom SAChE, the following ideas are provided on how to integrate into existing courses: Page 26.1729.6 The importance of process safetyThe general importance of process safety should be introduced in the first dedicated chemicalengineering class. Similar to the principles used in industry, process safety must be considered avalue and therefore introduced early and reinforced frequently. An excellent way to begin thediscussion is with the AIChE Code of Ethics, which states that, “Members shall: Hold paramountthe safety, health and welfare of the public and protect the environment in performance of
clinical trials, economics, ethics, and regulatorystrategies. Throughout the second year, students will continue working on their research project,with the culmination of the second year being a summer clinical or industrial immersion relevantto the project. In addition to immersion experiences, we are planning tracks: research,entrepreneurship, professional school, and industry; while these are at early stages indevelopment, they are being developed to integrate with other campus activities.Beginning junior year, students will continue undergraduate research while being extensivelytrained in engineering design, in contrast to traditional education which focuses primarily ondesign in the senior capstone course.

Of the themes with high consensus, the most stable were Multiple Solutions, Creative, Learns from Failure, and Requires Communication, and Unique Way of Knowing(with 10% or greater stability). The themes, Uses Modeling, Criteria and Constraints, and Collaborative were less stable but had stability between 15% and 11%. The remaining items (Involves Systems Thinking, Design Process, Multidisciplinary, Ethical, and Contextual) had the least stable results with values ranging from 16% to 23%. While some items were not
outstanding work ethic,• A high-touch approach, working closely with each student to achieve success,• A strong connection to employers who assist in setting the curriculum and in screening, educating, and evaluating the progress of the students, and• A close partnership with Mississippi PK-12 schools.Students attend class during normal business hours, five days a week, and participate in an activelearning environment. There is very little lecture, with most time spent on hands-on activities. Inaddition to technical content, students also receive guidance on professional development topicssuch as resume development, workplace communication, and interviewing skills. Service-basedlearning is a component of both academies with students giving back to
technology and of engineering and engineering education. I am now studying grassroots engineering (GE) and so- cial/solidarity technology (ST), as well as engineering education, focusing, on one hand, on the ethical- political, aesthetics, and epistemic aspects that both characterize and make GE and ST possible, and, on the other hand, on the challenges the engineering education must face in order to train/develop the capa- bilities or skills engineers must possess so to be able of doing GE and producing ST.

Throughout these transformations, the University’s senior leadership alwaysapproved the proposed changes and maintained the mandatory information literacy training.Students participating in the training sessions filled teaching evaluation surveys, for which theresults are presented in this paper. The surveys asked the students about their degree ofsatisfaction regarding the different objectives of the training sessions, namely defining aninformation need, building and optimizing a search strategy, finding information sources relevantto their field, and learning how to ethically use information.

Anabbreviate list of elements of value thinking are: • Considering how various views, values and cultures have been constructed from past choices and preconceived value-based beliefs (Rawls, 1985). • Recognizing major human conflicts as arising from conflicting worldviews, unequal resource allocation and historical biases (Ostrom, 1990). • Positioning value-based tensions between stakeholders in ethical terms. • Finding mechanisms to be more inclusive and equitable across stakeholders to reduce bias
