Education. Dr. Pennathur’s research interests are in human factors engineering and engineering education. In particular, he has conducted research on functional limitations in activities of daily living in older adults. The National Institutes of Health, and the Paso del Norte Health Foundation have funded his research on older adults. The US Army Research Laboratory has funded Dr. Pennathur’s research on workload assessment. Dr. Pennathur has also been recently awarded two grants from the National Science Foundation in Engineering Education. In one of the grants, he is modeling how engineering faculty plan for their instruction. In a second grant, he is developing a model for institutional transformation in engineering

Our plan alsoexplicitly tests a subset of participants a year later to see how well they retain their ethics trainingand how well they recall the question-directed approach.CONCLUSIONS This paper presents an approach that uses a question directed approach towards the teaching andlearning of tech ethics. The questions are memorable, and the expectation is that students throughrepeated instruction in the framework will continue to have this front of mind and therefore

The approach was enhanced and continued to Spring 2023, Fall 2023, and iscurrently planned to be deployed this Spring 2024 in capstone classes taught by other faculty.The approach had two objectives:1) Allow the capstone students to explore at a deeper level ethical topics of interest to them andwhich impacted their project. This created a more authentic process for an ethics discussion inthe senior capstone design class.2) Create additional content, in the form of videos on various ethics topics that are relevant toCSCE undergraduate students, to be shared to other instructors teaching other CSCE courses inthe curriculum.Although the specific
