These studies explore curricular EMinterventions designed to encourage development of EM skills such as curiosity about the coursetopics [22], reflective thinking [16], and designing for a certain customer base [17], [42]. In Kinget al.'s study [40], BME students participated in capstone design projects where they worked inteams to design prototypes based on existing patent applications of industry professionals. Thesestudents were able to learn about the engineering design process as well as the business side ofintellectual property development such as patents, customer discovery, budgeting, andcommunication of results [40].In several studies on EM development within a BME context

Our teamreviewed the codebook and discussed potential modifications while using comments attacheddirectly to the data points to note sections of interest in the themes or other feedback. The firstauthor then modified the existing codes to reflect the team’s discussion, such as combiningsimilar concepts (e.g., Community and Collaboration includes “relationships”, “community”, and“collaboration”) or adjusting code names to be more precise (e.g., “social health” was changed toConnections and Interactions). The revised codes were applied to participant responses anddefinitions of each code were informed by

This is not onlyreflected in the number of students who listed ‘academic stress’ when thinking about workload,but also in some reflections from faculty members. (Student workload) is the time that all academic work entails in a given period of time. It includes study, classes, workshops, exercises, etc. It includes direct work (classroom or tutored) and indirect work (self-employed). But it is also affected by their personal lives and their conditions, such as: work, people in their care, travel distance, socioeconomic conditions, sports, etc. (Faculty, RS3

The cases cover a wide range of scenarios and thus have given me a practicalunderstanding of a broad area of engineering ethics. I originally wrote a review paper onsoftware
