' written reflections on ethical dilemmaswill be grouped according to three types of possible outcomes: client-based, company-based, andinnovation-based according to their answers to corporate social dilemmas. Students will have asurvey to determine what type of moral reasoning they adopt when they face an ethical dilemma.Students will be presented with an ethical decision-making scenario and answer it based on theirown individuality. The pre and post activity reflections will be compared to verify any changesin perspective in addressing the dilemma. The EM component to this decision-making activity isnot only mimicking decision-making situations as entrepreneurs, but it also includes thediscussion of the entrepreneurial mindset framework to either

response to these trends, more engineering courses are being designed to incorporate moreinnovative, creative problem-solving skills2,3,4,5. Some examples include field trips or minicompetitions as a creative model to encourage creativity6. In addition, problem-based learningand critical thinking skills in the context of real-world problems have been integrated intoengineering education to facilitate students’ divergent thinking during the idea generation phase7.Among them, the most common instructional approach in engineering education is open-endeddesign projects, where the target product is not defined in order to allow creative opportunities3,5.One argument in favor of open-ended design projects is that students reflect on their owncreative

One such pedagogical intervention is photovoice, which hasbeen widely used in educational, social science, health, and non-traditional literature [3] as aresearch approach to problem-solving through the use of photo (e.g., image) and voice (e.g.,narrative reflection). Photovoice is based on three primary goals: 1) enable individuals to reflecton existing issues and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses, 2) promote critical dialoguethrough group discussions, and 3) initiate a call to action to drive social change. In recent years,photovoice has been extensively used in engineering education research to

This is significant as the student perspective is integral to understanding how studentslearn and develop an engineering mindset. By incorporating the student voice throughautoethnographic techniques, this study can begin to fill this gap and provide meaningful insightsabout the student experience and perceived benefits surrounding an OEMP.Autoethnography is an approach to research and writing that

The framework also draws from Nicol and Macfarlane-Dick's [20] principles of good feedback practice, emphasizing the role of peer and self-assessment in feedback processes. In the context of Scrum, this dimension reflects the framework's collaborative nature, where feedback sources are not limited to the traditional instructor-student dynamic but include peers and self-reflection [22]. 2. Feedback Timing: Timeliness in feedback is highlighted by Hattie and Timperley's [19] model of effective feedback, which emphasizes the importance of immediate feedback in learning processes.

As such, storytelling has been recognized as a tool forenabling learning as well as a tool for sharing experiences within a community of practice [1]. Inour work we extend this by partnering with undergraduates to share their stories more broadly.Storytelling enables the storyteller to adjust the narrative according to the situation, putting themin charge of what they want to say and how they want to say it.Beyond the professional community and body of knowledge in engineering education, students'experiences, and their reflections on their experiences can potentially transform

This suggests that over four years,there is a reduction in students prioritizing decisions that were altruistic and based on universalgood. It is challenging to predict why this occurs, but we tentatively suggest that it may reflect amore accurate representation of students' thoughts on these ethical dilemmas. Additionally, itmight indicate a deeper consideration of the complex factors typically involved in real ethicaldecisions, rather than merely an abstract evaluation of what a reasonable engineer should do.Given these results and to gain a fuller understanding of students’ changes in ethical reasoningthroughout their undergraduate programs, we contend

The movebeyond calculating averages to the study of real variation is one of the most important scientificdevelopments of the 19th century [1].
