It is the responsibility of the educator to expose students to exploratory projects that mimicreal-world design scenarios. The IDEO Field Guide To

For the group responses, we did not askstudents to record the gender, race, or major make-up of their small group. Going forward, wewould like to capture this information in order to see how the diversity of the small groupsimpacts the discussion. This would enable us to explore questions such as: Are white malesmore receptive to the case study when they are in a group with multiple women or people ofcolor? How do the experiences of women and people of color change when they are the

In many cases, thepredominant concern will be to develop an item that has a functional purpose: someone uses itfor a specific reason.But they may not understand that the design process also involves ethics, that technology notonly enhances our lives but directs our behavior, that technology reflects not only function butvalues as well. Quantification is just one part of the design process; ethics completes it.Recognizing the ethics inherent in technology helps that “tiny group of engineers” design for thegood of human experience, creating objects that reflect positive values

This correlation may suggestthat there could be a smooth transfer of interest and a higher likelihood for students involved inmaking to self-identify as engineers, thereby building their tenacity in continuing to study theSTEM fields in their future educational and career endeavors.3. MethodsWe conducted a multisite case study which explored two underrepresented populations ofstudents and their engagement with 3D printing, a common digital fabrication tool that is widelypopular with the maker movement.

honestly and fairly (Colby & Sullivan, 2008). As a result,multiple efforts in engineering education are geared towards incorporating ethics concepts inengineering curricula. Some of these efforts are described in the next section. In fact, someauthors suggest that ethics should be made a cornerstone element in engineering education(Moore, 2011). However, this has not been achieved yet and students lack the necessaryexposure during their education to navigate through the ethical conflicts they will face duringtheir careers (Herkert, 2002).This paper contributes to this body of work by blending ethics with traditional optimizationproblems in industrial engineering. The proposed approach enables incorporating ethics withoutincreasing or modifying

We are looking forward to the insights that that data most certainlywill provide. Still, we believe that we have made a promising start toward planning andimplementing an alternative communications curriculum that empowers students to actually be“work-ready” as communicators when they begin their professional engineering careers. And,while we must be careful with our inferences so early in the research process and from such asmall sample size, we believe that it is at least safe to suggest that the pilot ENGRC 2250 has hada

So that is a kind of change ofmind from the faculty-centered to more student-centered, learning focused.” Relatively,teaching technology, teaching method or learning method may be indirectly impacted byaccreditation, as Mr. Miller argued, “there are people here who are from our classes.
