Challenges16-19. Whileethics instruction is common in first year engineering courses20-25, this instruction may notinclude social responsibility as a macroethical imperative. Some curricula with an ethics threadeducate students about macroethical issues in later years, such as a third-year course with ethicsintegration at Drexel26. Another way that engineering students may come to appreciate theimportance of social responsibility is via service-learning (S-L) courses, which is the basis forsome first year projects / design courses27-32.An emphasis on social responsibility within engineering may be significant beyond its intrinsicimportance to individuals and society.

Our research investigates the impacts of these key factors on engineeringideation flexibility and correlates them with students’ cognitive styles. Our aim is to createguidelines and methods that will help engineers increase that flexibility by learning how todeliberately engage in ideation using different approaches.

The effectiveness of anintegrated STEM approach is enhanced when teachers to think outside the classroom byconsidering use of place-based resources. Consistent with the work of others, we argue thatwhen teachers become aware of the local resources and opportunities, and align thoseopportunities to the curriculum 7, they can broaden the curriculum focus and more effectivelyintegrate STEM content using the local resources as context for teaching and learning.

Hence, for the purpose of this study, only text matches that were eightwords in length or longer were counted as copied.
