This motivates our research question: Is PBL a more effectivepedagogy (than lectures) to teach ethical reasoning in support of social responsibility tofreshman ECE students during their primary introduction to the discipline?To answer this research question, the introductory course for electrical and computer engineering(ECE 121) at the University of Alabama (UA) has been redesigned to center ethics in theprofession. With this redesign, the course is offered in both PBL and traditional lecture style.

Without a better understanding ofambiguity in problem solving, it is difficult to develop educational approaches that will teachstudents how to deal with ambiguity.The goal of this project is to understand the different ways that students and practicing engineersexperience ambiguity during problem solving. We aim to interview 20-30 senior civilengineering students and 20-30 practicing civil engineers on their experiences of ambiguity.Interviews will be conducted using artifact elicitation, in which each participant will bring aproblem they have encountered which they
