When asked what itmeans to be an engineer, participants gave both technical and non-technical characteristics. Onthe technical side, this meant analyzing and solving problems, developing solutions, andapplying base knowledge to the real world. Non-technical characteristics were bravery,communication, ethics

This educational approach requires a multi-method approach, a combination ofdifferent pedagogical approaches that resonate with students [7]. The surveys developed forthis study used a synthesis of twelve sustainability competencies available in the literature,namely systems thinking, empathy & change of perspective, personal involvement,interdisciplinary work, anticipatory thinking, justice, responsibility & ethics, and strategicaction [9], critical thinking & analysis

The intended goal is to provide students with anintuitive look at what sorts of systems would be present in an automated production process, aswell as insights on how such systems can be applied for small-scale and artisan productioncompanies that wish to introduce automation into their process

average, students can work to understand their mistakes during the term instead of during the last week of the term after testing day. Also, an analysis of the class average design requires Statics skills but a competition-winning design requires a full consideration of the kinematics, best-case hole location, worst-case retraction angle and force, and accuracy of the laser cutter, amongst other concerns. The winning designs often have disturbingly small factors of safety, which might send a troubling message to students about engineering ethics. Simply put, the class average approach followed by Instructor C attempts to keep fundamental Statics skills at the center of the work. It also avoids the public

To nosurprise, there are a plethora of pitfalls an individual can make, with no recognition of theinstitutional hurdles that act as gatekeepers in perpetuating the current makeup of engineering as“pale and male” [62, p. 9]. As listed by industry and blogger articles, reasons that students dropout of engineering programs include: poor work ethic, inability to deal with failure, and lackingthe engineering mindset [63]. It is common talk among engineers that when trying to explain the dearth of women andPOC in engineering, meritocracy is used to justify by stating things such as “they aren’t cut outto be an engineer” or

argue and change their grades.While these features of traditional grading can be criticized for how they can impede studentlearning, we also want to balance the view that these features have their own reason in theeducation system. For example, summative grades are important for managing academicstandings, scholarships, and graduate school admission. One-off examinations are common inprofessional licensure processes (e.g., engineering ethics examination). The complexity behindgrading stems from the fact that grades are not just intended for student learning; they are alsoimportant for social and professional constructs [4].In response to the negative effects of traditional grading, ungrading has been advocated toremove grades entirely from the

This vision has been appropriated for American engineering curricula considering thatengineering can have a humanistic approach through specific courses or methodologies, theassessment of their activities from a perspective of the ethics, and the reflection about therelationship between engineering and technology, including its impacts [8]. In that sense, themain objective is deconstructing engineering from a utilitarian perspective, based on effectivityand loyalty to institutions, to reconstruct it in a libertarian or communitarian perspective based
