It found that women are turning their back on these sectors for a variety of reasons, including a lack of science, technology, engineering and mathematics knowledge (30%), a perception that the industries are sexist (13%), and a belief that science, technology, engineering and mathematics-based careers are better suited to men (nine percent)”.High School Context and Formation of Educational and Career Plans Schools could play a positive role in highlighting the salience of gender in career relevantdecisions including the gender gap in science, technology, engineering, and mathematicsorientations [55].

what to teach and how to organize assessment. The change to mastery-basedgrading has achieved the primary objective, but it has also engendered a culture shift of studentswho experience this system. Conversations about grading with students are more focused onauthentic learning issues than they were with the traditional system and students have shown thatthey understand and embrace the values associated with mastery-based grading.References[1] M.

Specific methods andtechniques taught and applied are operations strategy, product design and selection, total qualitymanagement, capacity planning, facility location, facility layout, work system design, leansystems, and scheduling. This course is required for those pursuing the Engineering Managementmajor and an elective for other engineering and non-engineering majors. The students in thecourse represent a diverse academic cross-section consisting of Engineering Management to non-engineering majors, honor students academically excelling to low-GPA at-risk students, andfrom sophomores (second year) to seniors (graduating).

This is a high pressure deadline where students are tasked with demonstrating a fully functioning robot that can score a designated small number of points. Students that fail to reach this objective, create a plan with their section tutor. Partial credit is possible if the robot can score points within a week after the deadline. This partial credit grade is used as one the metrics used in this study to identify teams that are struggling with design challenges. ● Oral Presentation in Week 10. Each team gives an oral presentation of their robot, use of theory and project management in the design process. ● In Section Robot

It is because values such as profit maximization, subjection of nature, and control over society are part of the hegemonic ones nowadays that green-revolution- like agriculture is largely preferred over agro-ecology. That is, not only does technology shape society (item 2 above), society (or those particularly powerful there), on its turn, does also shape technology, choosing its development pathway based on those ethical-political values taken (for some) as the preferred or best ones.

wouldhave an effect on the project.Each section followed a three-fold structure that consisted of a seminar, workshop andfinally, deliverables. The structure was planned to maximise students’ interaction with thetopic and to be able to provide opportunities for multilayered interpretations. Timing-wise,the course was set in three week long cycles per section. In the first week of each cycle, theseminar part of the section took place, in the second week of the cycle there were theworkshops, and the third week was designated for preparing the deliverables. The pilot wasmainly conducted by an interdisciplinary teaching team of three. However, the seminarsrequired the contribution of invited speakers and the workshops had visiting teaching staff

Since this isnot a research project, we did not create a control group, since doing so would deprive somestudents of the originally planned pedagogy of the course, which was central to accreditationlearning outcomes. Also, we cannot confidently explain the discrepancy between theconsiderable use of peer-reviewed sources and the limited awareness of assessing credibility inthe students’ initial reflections. This reflection also cannot discern

Engineering Ethics
in this work: historically, engineers have not agreed on foundational concerns ordefinitions of engineering. Hence, engineers do not have some form of constitution or bible thatthey can refer to provide any universal answers. To me, one of the best ways to consider current“norms,” as well as the propensity towards engineering in ethics or ethics in engineering, wouldbe to review how codes of ethics have evolved over time.As one noteworthy example, ASCE recently added a Canon 8, “Treat All Persons Fairly.”Subpart C of Canon 8 focuses on diversity: “Engineers shall consider the diversity of thecommunity, and shall endeavor in good faith to include diverse perspectives, in the planning andperformance of their professional services.” This is one
