students took the same 8-hour exam regardless of their engineering discipline [1]. After1996, while the four-hour morning portion of the exam remained the same for all applicants, adiscipline specific afternoon session was added. The FE exam went through a major overhaul in2014, including a reduction in the number of test questions and the addition of a requirement thateach examinee choose a test in one of seven engineering disciplines: chemical, civil, electricaland computer, environmental, industrial and systems, mechanical, or other disciplines [11, 12].There are still some subject areas that are common to all seven of the FE disciplines:mathematics, probability and statistics, ethics and professional practice, and engineeringeconomics [9].

design projects. Senior capstonedesign courses share many common features [21,22]. They synthesize knowledge gained duringthe degree program and they instill professional values such as ethics and societal relevance.Many programs feature industry sponsored projects [23-27] while others feature competitions[24,28]. The ability to work on an interdisciplinary team is becoming a more common goal:Colorado School of Mines, Harvey Mudd, Missouri-Rolla, and Lake Superior State amongothers have established multi-disciplinary team project courses [29-32].Design courses in the sophomore and junior years are less common. A sophomore course maybe an introductory design course (used instead of a freshman course) [33], or it may expand on afreshman course to

The goal of these cards was tocover a wide variety of entrepreneurial mindset outcomes without relying on a single project.The four topics selected were engineering economics, customer awareness and stakeholders,engineering ethics, and value propositions and supporting data. Two of the four lessons weretaught as a supplement to the existing class project, but could be used either with any classproject or as stand-alone modules in classes without a project. A summary of each card isprovided below. These cards were implemented into the curriculum in the Fall 2018 semesterwith a class size

This fall-term course enrolled the first-year class of approximately 140 chemical, civil, electrical,mechanical, and general engineering students. Interdisciplinary teams worked on projects in thegeneral theme of “Engineering for Social Good.” Project topics included: designing smarter andmore resilient cities, developing therapeutic devices, designing shelter for refugees in flight, andmaking fuel from food waste. The faculty designed and led their own section’s projects whilehaving a set of common activities and deliverables with similar timelines and baseline rubrics.To build community among the students, every project team had

Students were encouraged todream up as many ideas as possible and ‘plaster the walls’ with ideas at this stage.After dinner, retreat participants convened for a group discussion on the ethics andresponsibility of designing products for the elderly. The pre-retreat readings wereheavily referenced as participants discussed difficult and controversial topics such associoeconomic inequity and personal versus shared responsibility in the care of theelderly. Common themes that emerged were students’ previous unawareness of theissues surrounding aging. Many students admitted to not having thought through whatthe aging process will be like for their parents or for themselves. Finally, at

Among them, the ethical culture of Confucianism constitutes the core oftraditional culture and is an important pillar of life and spiritual order. For example,Confucianism advocates “exercising benevolence”. The cultural intension of this kind ofbenevolence is manifested in the spirit of practicing, caring about society, and activelyjoining the society (ru shi). The Taoist thought advocates “inaction” or “do-nothingness” (wuwei) to express the heart of salvation.

Infact, stakeholder-focused communications employ two of the three aspects of empathy:perspective taking and empathetic concern [9], [10]. When communications are developed tofocus on the content and delivery needs of the person receiving a message, this change inperspective sets the stage for more ethical communication and stakeholder involvement indecision-making [11].

Faculty are often helping student develop asengineers, which is a process that is not reserved for the senior design courses. In many cases,faculty could contribute more strongly to the ABET continuous improvement cycle. In some cases,they may need to just document what they currently do in a course or

alerting the committee to additional challenges: • Students are hindered by not having a strong knowledge of computer programming before entering their upper level courses. • Engineering Ethics is typically a senior-year course taken while students are focused on their job search and is administered via the Philosophy department. As seniors, students apply their efforts to courses in their field of study and explore employment opportunities; thus, there is concern that integration of engineering ethics into student psyches is not occurring effectively.“The committee came forward in March 2017 with recommendations, which were immediatelyfast-tracked to support a fall 2018 rollout: • The first semester
