Based on an intensive literature review, Sadler [6]concluded that it is hard to assess the quality of student argumentation only by logical reasoningbecause in SSI contexts, everyday life experiences, moral and ethical beliefs, values, and cultureaffect students’ argumentation practices. Duschl also points out that student argumentation in SSIis a reasoning strategy that involves the general reasoning domain of informal logic as well ascritical thinking [10].In most recent research concerning argumentation, Toulmin’s model [14] was adopted as a usefultool to understand logical reasoning of argumentation. However, Toulmin’s

A survey of patients participating in a clinical trial revealed 85 %of the majority perceived the benefits of sharing de-identified data outweigh any negatives [5].There remains an ongoing debate regarding best practices, merits, challenges and approaches onseeking consent to data sharing [6] – [9].Despite research indicating benefits of sharing data, some researchers are unwilling to reportscientific findings. An investigation of 1329 researchers’ data practices indicates scientists do notmake their research data electronically available to other researchers [10].

For example, a neuroscience research tool called portableelectroencephalogram, or EEG, has been used in cognition-based education research, forexample, on the relationship between brain-to-brain synchrony and learning outcomes [56]. Thistool could be used in engineering education research to capture brain activities; the obtained newdata source could then be integrated with other student data to predict learning outcomes amongengineering students. Another area of challenge that needs to be addressed is creating ethical policies for usingdata analytics methods in research. The limited

It can be taken at any point in the degree program. However, we havefound students hungry to take cyber security courses early in their academic career and thatsecond and third year students are primarily found in the course. The course emphasizes legal,ethical, and professional issues in cyber systems that extend beyond the technical issues coveredin Cpr E 230, Cpr E 231, and Cpr E 331. It covers topics such as privacy, government regulation,and compliance as applied to professional

Freire asserts that critical reflection, or "reflection and actionupon the world in order to transform it,” is a fundamental feature of critical pedagogical praxis[8]. Van Manen elaborates a definition of critical reflection as a form of reflection that “addsmoral and ethical criteria, such as equity and justice,” and locates “analysis of personal actionwithin wider historical, political and social contexts” [9].There are signs that reflective practice within engineering higher education has receivedincreased attention over time [10].

Whether it be controls, vibrations,heat transfer, biomechanics, or a concentrated list of technical subjects, our students are carefullyprepared for life in the technical world. The issue with stopping in our teaching at this list is thatwe do not provide our students with experiences that aim to bring them into contact with areasthat may make their lives both interesting and instructive. The expectation is that they willreceive in general university courses all that they need to know about art, literature, and music,along with professional behavior and ethics.

This study has receivedResearch Ethics Board approval via the Research Ethics Office of the University of Toronto.An OpenBCI [15] Open Source EEG device was used for measuring and recording brain waveactivity. Eight dry Ag/AgCl electrodes were placed at Fp1, Fp2, C3, C4, T5, T6, O1, and O2positions based on the international 10-20 system. Two reference electrodes were placed on theears. Dry electrodes were used to avoid the need for skin preparation, including the use ofconductive paste, which is thought to be somewhat inconvenient to the participants. Data wascaptured using a sampling frequency of 250 Hz.Prior to the experiment, a set of baseline data was captured by participants performing four 3-minute

Introduction Demand for undergraduate Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) education continues to grow,driven by persistent need for professionals with technical skills. In addition to core technical knowledge,students embarking on a career in CSE must be ready to combine theory and practice in a context wherethe underlying technology continually changes, projects are large-scale and collaborative, and professionalresponsibility and ethics-based decision-making are critical when products are adopted widely. Manystudents seek hands-on industry internship experiences to complement their in-class instruction andprepare for these

community members. Even as students have good intentions, there is atendency to focus on what seems solvable over what community members indicate are priorities.This is a result of years of outcomes-focused, over relational, educational practices. In theabsence of meaningful relationships, it is easy to lose sight of the purpose of communityengagement. Technologies that students create do not serve the needs of community partners,and community partners suffer as a result.At the same time, engineers’ desire to help and strong work ethic lend themselves well toworking on issues of social justice [3]. In recent years, critical pedagogy has influenced service-learning programs as educators have attempted to engage the action-reflection

Leadership, teamwork, and ethics are alsoexplored in an interdisciplinary, active and collaborative learning- based course. Finally, thisentrepreneurial thread culminates in the senior capstone experience in which students apply theirengineering skill set while exercising their EM in a year-long, real-world design project.This paper describes the work done to determine the effect of the EM-focused engineeringcurriculum sequence on developing the entrepreneurially-minded engineer.

Over the course of the series, the origin of each branch of engineering was discussed,followed by discussion of core concepts of conservation, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, heatand mass transfer, materials, statics, safety and ethics. The series then described applications ofthe different engineering fields, including robotics, genetic engineering, and signal processing, aswell as specific extensions of core engineering fields, such as transportation and geotechnicalengineering. The series concluded with an explanation of engineering design, careers inengineering, and the future problems to be solved.

. Dating back to the 1960s, researchershave explored the theoretical characterization of intercultural competence and the effectivenessof varying classroom practices [24]. More recently, various researchers have explored theefficacy of CEL and research immersion experiences. Research shows that teachers learn tonavigate complex, intercultural encounters through challenging CEL experiences promoting,“reflective, critical and ethical practices” [25].Since international engineering CEL has the potential benefit to both increase interculturalawareness, while also demonstrating engineering as a career that helps humanity, engagingteachers in this type of experience may prepare them to encourage and inspire their students,particularly females and other
engage students in‘deep learning.’ According to Bentz [9], ‘deep learning’ is “at once emotional and intellectual,mental and physical, social and personal, totally unique yet freely shared.” While ‘deeplearning’ utilizing balance, inclusion, and connection [10] can be the ideal, on the practical level,active learning was employed in this session.Garris [1] outlines four propositions for integrating patents into the undergraduate curriculum.These include 1) “Optimal Design is an Integrative Process,” 2) “Ethics of Design inCompetitive Industry are Intricate,” 3) “Innovation in a Litigatious Environment can beDangerous,” and 4) “Patent Rights are Valuable Assets.”From this prior art we see that in order to draw students into the complexity of
engineering students at an all-female college. As part of thecurriculum, these women designed toys to teach students about technology. Students reported thattheir understanding of the design process and the relationship between engineers and society wereincreased as a result of project participation. Many more examples exist that illustrate howhumanities may be used with STEM to support students as they explore engineering and scientificprinciples 19-22.In summary, empathy and ethical reasoning are often an afterthought for STEM students 5. Teamteaching among humanities and STEM instructors can encourage the development of empathy andsoft skills 23 through instructional modeling with team-teaching.
