This study explores students’ ethical formation when ethics is aperipheral or non-intentional aspect of instruction in departmental courses in BiomedicalEngineering and Earth Science. The research question that we seek to address is, “In whatdifferent ways and to what extent does participation in departmental engineering and sciencecourses cultivate STEM students’ ethical formation?” To address our research question, wedisseminated a survey to students before (pre) and after (post) their participation in one of 12courses offered in Earth Science or Biomedical Engineering during the Fall 2017 or Spring 2018.The survey included four instruments: (1) the

Counselors’ Beliefs about Engineering in High School: A Case Site in Virginia (Fundamental)IntroductionThe importance of engineering education in K-12 has been substantially articulated in multiplereports and publications. For example, Brophy et al.

As one of the expanding domains within K-12 engineering education, K-12 actors’beliefs about engineering are important areas of study because understanding how the actors(student, teacher, school counselor parents/guardians, etc.) believe, perceive

Math skills are recognized as essential tothe success of future engineers. However, other skills are integral to the engineering career path.Within industry, it is communication skills that often make or break careers. Technically capableengineers will find their careers stagnating without well-developed communication skills, which are anessential part of engineering work. In fact, it has been shown that engineers spend over half theirworking days (55-60%) communicating both orally and in writing [1]. When engineers were surveyedabout the most important

Over the last decade, with the impetus of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE)Grand Challenges, more are also calling for engineers who are prepared to lead, given theinterdisciplinary teams required to solve these problems. These calls have, in turn, led to greaterrecognition by engineering educators of the need for engineers who can lead. This recognition

HistoryThe transition from high school to college can be difficult for many students, causing many todrop out of school. The first discussions of retention in higher education go back to the 1930s,but early research on this topic was focused mainly on why students fail instead of why theysucceed [1]. Vincent Tinto is credited with bringing this subject to the forefront and examiningother non-academic factors as to why students drop out of college [2]. Using this data, manyuniversities and colleges have implemented programs to assist students and improve retention,such as bridge camps, specialized introductory courses, tutoring and learning centers, andmentoring programs, to name a few [3].

1“Plug and Chug” of specification equations is not design. Letting students have thisimpression is doing them a huge disservice.Teaching is tricky business. How one teaches structural design has some particularly impactfulconsequences. Students expect to learn the specifications (or codes) but over emphasizing thecode may leave students without a deeper understanding of the mechanics and structuralbehaviors involved in structural design. There must be a balance between teaching the code andbehavior because many students likely have become programmed, trudging through many mathand science courses, to solve problems in a very methodical fashion of reading a prompt,recognizing the method or formula to use, and arriving at the single correct
