A more common recommendationfrom pedagogy experts is to design a course to teach three to seven overall outcomes [9].Additionally, it is important to note that these learning outcomes are not specific to chemicalengineering, but cover skills general to all

In particular, given our own specific types of expertise,we wanted students to come to appreciate that good engineering thinking, from the get-go,involves thinking about the ethical implications of what is being designed, rather than designingfirst and thinking about the ethical implications afterward. We wanted the course to afford anopportunity to students to come to have an appreciation of the similarities as well as thedifferences between engineering problem-solving and problem-solving in philosophy.

We organized these into three broad categories:self-management, task management, and team management, which can be used as aframework for future research. By providing students the opportunity to own the problem andits outcomes, engineering competitions can empower students to think like, act as, andbecome professional engineers.IntroductionEngineering is a professional discipline. Engineers work largely within professional codes ofconduct and are often required to obtain professional licensure to practice. As a professional,they are not only required to abide by certain codes – such as ethics – but are also expected togain skills such as being able to communicate effectively

From this point, the mentor’s decisions are focused on developing the individual andcaring for the mentor relationship. While active mentoring may only last for a few weeks to afew months, the result is a long-term social bond (I can think of three teachers who investedsufficient mentoring on me to develop such a bond).To establish a baseline for faculty involvement in the mentoring process, I took advantage of thefact that I have an entering, moderately under-prepared freshman son who wants to studyengineering.

Existing literature does not identifywhat attitudes and practices can be implemented in schools of engineering to promote effectivecare in teaching. This paper describes the progress of an ongoing research currently carried out ata large engineering school in Chile. The investigation has two main objectives. First, tounderstand what does it mean to care in teaching; second, to understand what is the influence thatcaring teaching has on the students’ learning experience.IntroductionFrom a philosophical perspective [1], the ethics of care involves attending to and meeting theneeds of who we take responsibility for.

The objective of thiscurriculum is to provide students with a toolkit of important BME skills to make themcompetitive for industry careers as well as graduate school. An emphasis on design and project-based learning will help our students develop their communication skills, critical thinking, andtheir ability to work in teams.
