These sitesin addition to many others had also been shared with students during the first week of the courseas sources for more current articles and information on the legal and ethical issues covered in thecourse. The cases selected by the instructor were then written up with a general history given toeach of the three teams. The first mediation case study did not have many distractors, oradditional irrelevant information, added. This was done so that students could determine the“core” issue(s) more readily. However, the information given to the three teams could

Young, Cole, and Denton argued that “Even engineers, who havetraditionally been considered experts in technology, may not have the training or experiencenecessary to think about the social, political, and ethical implications of their work and so maynot be technologically literate” (p. 15). The papers presented at the 2016 conference (7 of the12), echo this recognition. Krupczak and Mina’s “An Exercise to Promote and Assess CriticalThinking in Sociotechnical Context” (2016a) is the most full and direct expression ofengineering students as a primary audience for TEL education. Working from the premise that“less attention has been given to examining if individuals trained as engineers actually possess abroad understanding of technology and are

At UAB,these state-mandated core curriculum classes take up more than a quarter (36/128) of the creditsthat are required for an engineering degree, but most are entirely unrelated to the students’chosen area of study. Meanwhile, engineering departments across the country wrestle with howto address necessary issues like communication, ethics and sustainability in their curriculumwithout sacrificing existing technical content. One possible solution is to partner with thehumanities faculty who are teaching required core classes to create new courses that betterengage students and help them understand the relevance of the other disciplines to their work andidentity as engineers.The history of

Another study at the University of Barcelona looked at adapting theirchemical engineering curriculum to be more student-oriented and structured around theundergraduate and master’s degrees. They changed their curriculum gradually to have moreemphasis on ethics, feedback, and collaborative learning. Their findings were that although moretime consuming, both students and teachers responded positively (Iborra, et al., 2014).

ClassroomIntroductionEngineering educators point to a persistent problem that positions the engineering profession inapolitical and neutral terms. We call this the “neutrality problem” and describe it as placingmoral weight not on the work of engineers but instead the ad hoc uses of engineered artifacts.The problem appears in common assumptions that, for instance, guns are only as violent as theirusers intend them to be, absolving engineers of moral responsibility for the socio-technicaloutcomes that they helped to produce. The “neutrality problem” has a long history of beingchallenged by critically engaged engineering educators. Some challenge the problem by callingfor “non-canonical engineering ethics canons,”1 others advocate for a “peace paradigm” to beincluded in

Some of these veterans and active duty students initially entered college after highschool, performed poorly due to the lack of mental toughness and persistence, and then enteredthe military.

Also, the negative consequences associated with safety-related failures such as accidentsand product defects make such issues a priority for industry. Creating a safety culture isdifficult. It involves the performance of proper actions and the avoidance of improper actions.Any definition of safety must specify what is considered proper, what is considered improper,and what is an acceptable degree of risk.In engineering education, practical safety concerns are necessarily part of laboratory courses andsafety concepts are often

For the mathematics and sciences courses this often involves assigning problemsets for the student to apply and practice the tools, techniques, and concepts presented in classand in the reading assignments. At regular intervals the student is tested on her or his ability toidentify and categorize problems, select the appropriate tools to solve the problem, and apply theappropriate problem solving steps to actually solve the problem.
