Student Outcome #1 on problem formulation and complex problem solving may not bedirectly assessed, but it is a necessary skill in order to successfully complete a design. Student Outcome#4 on ethical and professional responsibilities and global/cultural factors may be difficult for students toapply consistently, and may not be captured by typical capstone assessment instruments, yet theimportance of this factor is emphasized.Previous work has discussed the challenges of assessing the ABET objectives, particularly those relatingto professional skills [9]. Although the ABET criteria, program objectives and student outcomes

At Le Moyne College, an interdisciplinary non-majorscourse was offered titled ‘Cybersecurity for Future Presidents.’ This course, like the one atLoyola, taught students technical skills like encryption, decryption, and packet switching[4].The non-majors courses in cybersecurity that have been designed vary greatly in the style andcontent [6]. Some of the topics covered in these courses are similar to ours: computer networks,cryptography, access controls, threats and human factors, forensics, privacy, ethics, and freespeech, and other computer science fundamentals like, digital representation of information, dataencryption, time complexity, packet switching

Nevertheless, quantifying the quality and dosage of implementation can be difficult, andresearch literature on the subject is sparse. Barry and Ohland assessed the extent to whichcoverage of the ABET ethics student outcome criterion (3f: an understanding of professional andethical responsibility) in coursework affected students’ scores on the National Council ofExaminers for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) Fundamentals of Engineering (FE)Examination. Determining the dosage of ethics coursework was done through faculty interviews.The researchers found a relationship between coursework and the exam outcomes, but

It arose as the outcome of a cross-disciplinary initiative tocreate a common ground and develop a focal point of reference for the global community ofresearch and practice allowing a deeper thinking on software engineering and sustainability. Ithas proven its usefulness for effectively communicating key issues, goals, values, and principlesof sustainable design. Moreover, it has been adopted by researchers addressing a wide variety ofsubjects in software engineering (e.g. software requirements, software engineering curricula,systems thinking, design thinking, engineering ethics, and multidisciplinary engineering, amongothers) [10].BackgroundSustainable software approaches and modelsA systematic mapping study on

Finally, he shared theEducational Outcomes expected of all accredited engineering programs (per ABET [4]), as apoint of reference: participants were encouraged to also think beyond technical skillrequirements and to consider other skills that are part of science, technology, engineering &mathematics (STEM) curricula such as teamwork, consideration of ethical/societal issues, andmore.At this point, the industry participants and academic participants were split into break-outsessions to focus on delineating their needs, before coming back together as a large group beforelunch.Industry Break-out: SummaryThe industry “room” brainstormed and focused on shared key “Abilities,” “Skills” and

Although they are mostly working outside of theinstitutional setting, especially as they work to establish alternative space and practices outside ofthe dominant discourse, the work and motivations of both feminist hacker collectives and opensource science hardware communities have implications for thinking through how to organizeand enact real-world change in terms of pedagogy, design, and more deeply weaving ethics andexplicit value-systems into engineering education and practice.In a previous paper, we sought lessons for change in engineering education from movements notonly within science and technology cultures, but also within higher education institutionalsettings. Prior higher education change movements we examined include the efforts to

Three pilot interviews have been conducted and these have been used to adjust the research design and widen the parameters for the sample group. The research team secured ethics approval for the proposed changes. This paper describes the overall design of the study and what was learned from the pilot interviews.IntroductionHow do students interpret the act of creation and how does their understanding change over time?We aim to understand students’ experiences of design in civil engineering and architecture.

Guinn [13] described how the needs of anemployer have changed from the “old world” manufacturing to the new in Figure 2. Figure 2 - The Changing Needs of EmployersAs can be seen, what was once a very straight forward skill is turning into a more complex set ofskills and while this is representative of the manufacturing industry, a person could take thosesame skills and transfer them across the private sector in a variety of combinations. Beyond thechange in skills needed with technological advances there are some core attributes that have notchanged in the private sector: education, work ethic, experience, and dependability.Education
students have been involved in theproject. Data Collection, Sources, and ManagementInitial and Ethical Considerations The process for collecting and using data in P-12 school settings is significantly differentthan other fields, such as social networks or e-commerce (Carmel, 2016). Those who have accessto the data need to have clear boundaries and parameters on what to access and whichinformation can be made available in which levels of the data (Carmel, 2016). Therefore, ethicalconsideration is vital when conducting research. In this context, ethics are the norms of conductthat must be followed when conducting research as they aid in distinguishing between acceptableand unacceptable behaviors (Resnik, 2011). The
of their classroom will be conducted and filmed on aday where epistemic issues will be discussed. This researcher will prepare clips of moments inthe lesson pertinent to epistemic belief, such as discussions of assumptions or ethical dilemmas(often associated with safety and process decisions). A second interview will then be conductedwith this faculty member to discuss what thoughts and motivations were associated with thesemoments. Interviews will also be conducted with three students from each classroom in order tosee how these lessons were interpreted by the students.For the first interview, the protocol will largely follow the process described by Montfort et al.(2014), featuring semi-structured questions centered around Hofer’s (1997
about the value of the ECE profession, theirinterest in the class, and their intensions to persist. The surveys also measured personalendorsements including the importance of ethical considerations in engineering decisions,the value of professional skills compared to technical training, and empathy. Data analysisrevealed that among novice students, the more they believed that the ECE professionafforded opportunities to benefit society and work with others (i.e., had prosocial value), themore interested they were in the class and in turn, the more they intended to persist in theirECE degree program. This persistence intentions relationship was not true for studentbeliefs about the ECE profession affording opportunities to gain wealth, power, and

AsFigure 1 suggests, the enactment of a professional discipline is guided both by ethics andstandards of practice; these activities define competencies, job roles, and ultimately career paths.Professional societies codify these elements by defining ethics and competencies, but also byFigure 1.

engineering students should possess to successfully enter the labormarket. In the systematic review of Passow and Passow [4], planning and time management,problem-solving, communication and teamwork were identified as highly important byengineers. Identified as less, but still important, were ethics, lifelong learning, taking initiative,thinking creatively, and focusing on goals. Does this mean that engineering students needmore teamwork skills than lifelong learning skills? Or do students need to finish theireducational program with an advanced level mastery of lifelong learning and an expert levelmastery of teamwork? These questions raise the need to not just investigate the importanceof the competencies but also of the competency levels required
