effectively organized teams canaccomplish tasks that are well beyond the abilities of individuals, and teach students to think innew and creative ways4-8. Students, however, are typically somewhat resistive to these grouptechniques for the following reasons: 1) Workload and credit are not fairly distributed amongst group members. 2) Scheduling group time together outside of class is very difficult. 3) Students do not know or trust other group members.It is interesting to note that the majority of these concerns are related to organizationaldifficulties, rather than an inherent dislike of cooperative learning. Instructors also typicallyexpress concerns over their ability to cover sufficient material and in managing group activities9.These

Activities such as communicating and collaborating with customers with limitedengineering knowledge and refining design decisions based on feedback and performance, aresimilar to how engineers work in the industry. Incorporating such style in engineering pedagogycan help better prepare students for the workforce.IntroductionSeveral national reports have drawn attention to the need for qualified science, technology,engineering and mathematics (STEM) graduates for the advancement of innovation inSTEM.1,2,3,4,5 The need is not only to increase the number of STEM graduates

There are myriadways in which ethics can be taught, places where it can be taught, and ideas to teach under therubric of engineering ethics. Our paper takes a simple approach to address parts of this issue ofheterogeneity in engineering ethics education by asking one basic question: “what kinds ofpatterns can we observe by looking at how much ethics-related content engineering students maysee in their undergraduate engineering programs?” In order to help the engineering education community have a more detailed view of thestate of engineering ethics education, we collected data from the top 30 engineering degree-granting universities in the
