Building upon earlier touchstones -- from the revolt of engineersin the 1920s (Layton, 1986) to Socially Responsible Engineering in the 2020s (Smith & Lucena,2020) - progressive engineers have invoked a greater purpose of engineering for society. Theyhave built new areas of practice, such as humanitarian engineering, and have laid out sharedprofessional goals such as the Grand Challenges for Engineering

Her research draws from perspectives in anthropology, cultural psychology, and the learning sciences to focus on the role of culture and ideology in science learning and educational change. Her research interests include how to: (a) disrupt problematic cultural narratives in STEM (e.g. brilliance narratives, meritocracy, and individualistic competition); (b) cultivate equity-minded approaches in ed- ucational spheres, where educators take responsibility for racialized inequities in student success; and (c) cultivate more ethical future

inundergraduate engineering programs in North America. In Canada, the Canadian EngineeringAccreditation Board has been emphasizing that equity and ethics be embedded in the curriculumthrough their accreditation visits. This required several programs within our institution to work onmethods that can be included to make students more aware of equity issues and assess theirunderstanding on the above subjects.This paper discusses how courses were changed to include equity as part of the curriculum. Equitydiscussions were focused through the introduction of universal design as applied in buildingdesign- making students experience first-hand what the implications of design choices are on adiverse (age, physical / cognitive ability, race, gender) user group

Prioritize self-reflection: we need to make interrogating our positionality and assumptions part of our ongoing practice. Praxis is both reflection and action. Self reflection is the first step towards transformative action. Anti-oppression work is

Questioning and then eliminating problematic terms will require collaboration between the primary users of the language (e.g., some STEM fields) and those who study it (e.g., humanities scholars and social scientists).• Funding agencies could highlight this issue and require multidisciplinary teams to tackle it.

further research into how students learn to frame engineering designproblems and what role framing plays in their professional formation.Introduction and Research PurposeDeveloping the ability to design solutions to problems is key for engineering students learning tobe professionals [1]. Many design experiences happen in the first-year and senior year courses,though increasingly they are being incorporated into courses along the entire program [2]–[4].Instructors must make many decisions when developing design challenges, not all of which areclear. For instance, in senior capstone design, faculty commonly contend with ABETrequirements, ethics, project management, appropriate scope, appropriate technical content, andteam dynamics [5]–[7]. With

This is because it provides exposure to industrial practice, however comparedto a real field trip or extended industry experience, it may be more difficult for students tounderstand how course learnings can assist with professional competency development.MethodologyHuman research ethicsEthics approval was granted by the Human Research Ethics Advisory Panel at UNSW toenable the collection of research participants’ data.

case studies in undergraduate courses can be developed.As the impacts of climate change have continued to evolve and manifest over the past fewdecades, there is also a growing need to develop more nuanced and expansive discourse aroundenvironmental topics. [1] Due to their complexity, the social, ethical, and justice elements ofenvironmental issues often take a secondary role to more economic or policy-based motivations(loss of product, emission/release standards, etc.) in these discussions, which may result in theunintentional erasure or lack of apparent attention to the socially disadvantaged groups whom aredisproportionately affected.

For culture-inspired creative designs, students areencouraged to choose from a variety of cultural traits including Language, Nationality, Aesthet-ics (Music, Literature, art, crafts, dance), Architecture, Religion, Celebrations, Rituals, Myths,Customs, Clothing and Fashion and Ethics (hierarchies, behavior as good and bad). The culturalinfluence on the product should be incorporated into the conceptual stage of design, and shouldcarefully consider what aspects of the culture are going to be included in the product. Rather thanbeing superficial additions to the product, the cultural aspects should influence the design, usage,and purpose of the product. In fact, the product itself can be

Two mechanical engineering majors, two electrical engineering majors, and two computer sciencemajors were recruited by each student who volunteered to be a team leader during the first week of thecourse. It was important that these team leaders demonstrated a good work ethic and provided clarity totheir team when it came to meeting certain deadlines within the class. During the lab portion of the course,students were engaged in tasks such as assembling the robot’s mechanical chassis and electronics hull
* Concept generation/selection Engineering ethics (lecture topic only) Decision makingIn addition to instructional goals, many capstone programs (including the program that is thesubject of this paper) involve the construction of a working prototype for a client. Prototyping isless common in Chemical and Civil Engineering, where working prototypes are impracticallylarge for students to build, but most other programs require some type of build. Increasingly,capstone programs are exploring approaches to product development and design using an Agilemethodology (e.g., [17]–[19]), which drives teams to prototype early, delivering functionality ata steady pace through the project. Underlying this is a desire to move students from paper

The goal is to identify information that can help facilitate access to industrypractitioners that can complement the practical needs of construction engineering students andunderstand the practical course-support needs of construction engineering instructors. The surveywas administered online, and 293 engineering instructors and 143 industry practitioners filled itout. In addition, we secured ethical clearance through our IRB office. Data were analyzed usingdescriptive statistics, and some of the responses were analyzed by different variables to see ifthere were any important differences to show between participants. Preliminary results of thesurvey are presented next.Participants from IndustryOne
