Storytelling as an Effective Mean for Stimulating Students' Passion in Engineering ClassesAbstractStorytelling was employed as a powerful tool in stimulating students' interest in the classroom ofa sophomore level course in engineering design. Over two years, students’ assessment of themethodology was obtained through a survey that incorporated students that have and not havetaken the course. The outcome of students’ satisfaction and support of telling stories by theinstructor was overwhelming among both groups of students. The impact was not targetedtowards just creating passion in the classroom, but the active participation and reflection on thestories was sought to lead to ethical values pedagogy.

They claim that a professor should not have any casualrelationships with students, and such relationships “conflict with our fundamentalobligations as faculty members,(4) and the ethics of the relationship require that thefaculty member remains “dispassionate,” avoiding any appearance of partiality. Thefaculty member should “not seek to be their psychiatrist, friend, or lover.” (5) While someof us may agree about the psychiatrist and lover part, many of us do not agree thatfriendship between students and faculty members has ill effects and should not beallowed.

Many programs,however, struggle to integrate an awareness of the non-technical constraints on design that includesocial, political, environmental, global, ethical and economic forces.In the past decade, there has been a movement toward integrating an entrepreneurial mindset intoengineering design 12,13,14,15,16 .

Maybe that equals a physicist or something like that.’” STEP helped himrealize that his interests did in fact equal engineering.Charles also realized that he needed an improved work ethic - he described himself as “verylazy” and knew it was something that he needed to overcome.
