method inengineering ethics education.Case-Based Instruction in Engineering Ethics EducationCase studies or case scenarios (we use these phrases interchangeably) present students withethical dilemmas embedded in real-world contexts. These dilemmas generally do not have rightor wrong answers, but rather better or worse decision outcomes for various stakeholders [2].These shades of gray encourage students to think deeply about their values, experiences, andprofessional practice [14], [24]. Students reflect on scenarios with information provided in termsof news media reports, academic publications, regulatory documents, or other materials.Instructors in engineering classes often teach the code of ethics of professional organizationssuch as the
individual’sconnections with others and the level of support they receive from their classmates andcolleagues can be quantified through social capital [15]. In this study, social capital is defined asthe number of friends a student indicated they work with academically—in other words, thenumber of friends a student also uses as an academic resource.The clustering coefficient is a measure of network density, reflecting the interconnectedness ofan individual’s egonet. Figure 2 shows two different students’ social networks. The left socialnetwork has a clustering coefficient of 0.14. This is a low clustering coefficient which indicatesthat the ego’s network of friends are mostly not friends with each other. Each node is connectedto the ego, but there are only a few

The high participation rate suggests that the results are areliable reflection of the class’s perspective on the project. Although it may have been informative to collect data from students frequently throughoutthe project, we decided that approach might lead to survey fatigue and encourage students to rushthrough the survey rather than provide thoughtful feedback. Furthermore, taking feedback toofrequently would not provide enough time to review and implement student suggestions. In future iterations of the project, it would be beneficial to distribute surveys at least twice toallow for initial feedback to be incorporated into the

The students were evaluated by program faculty and the AIR. The students also receiveddirect feedback (comments) from the evaluators.Spring 2022 MET 352– Results and Lessons LearnedThe A+E team goal for the MET 352 course was to have the student teams design and produce(formulate, fire, glaze) a unique ceramic body. In that regard, the design goal for MET 352 was asuccess as all teams successfully designed and fabricated prototypes. One point of reflection forthe PIs after the term was complete was the reproducibility or

Thepromise of many programs is to use ST to evaluate existing knowledge and resourcesrelevant to a particular health systems issue, plan and execute an innovative solution toaddress the issue at hand, evaluate the outcomes of the implementation, and present thesolution to key stakeholders in the host organization engaged in personal self-evaluationand critical reflection [30]. More importantly, the programs promise to deliver“applications of ethical theory to health reform, systems approach to health programmingplanning and evaluation, international comparison of health systems, and an in-depthinvestigation of health sector subsystems or building blocks
the program names contribute to some of these challenges,leading to questions about whether rebranding to a different name might be beneficial. Otherstudies have explored renaming motivations and results in geography [13], agronomy [14],writing programs [15], vocational education [16], and institutions [17], [18]. There is a generalconsensus that names are powerful, and changes often reveal tensions with the health and/oridentity of programs. Frazier et al. [13, p. 13] notes: “Do name changes reflect an expandedmission… or other goals such as addressing low enrollment, shifting student interests, or thedesire to project a fresh identity or realign with a new academic emphasis?” There may also beconcern about name recognition or conveying the

that this phenomenon reflected that students involved in project-based learning activities were more inclined to regard themselves as a part of the engineeringcommunity.The students in Motamedi’s study [19] tended to prefer the flipped classroom because of itsflexibility with their schedules, their ability to watch lectures when they felt motivated tolearn and when they knew that they would be able to stay focused, and their increasedengagement with short video content. A significant disadvantage was their inability to askquestions while learning the material; thus, students would go to class feeling confused andill-prepared. Vidic et al.’s [18] study of flipped classrooms addressed this issue by allowingstudents to post their questions about

They reportedthat there is a policy at their university that if a student’s GPA is above a certain threshold, theycannot seek help from the disability services center. This policy prevented them from getting helpthey believed they needed. As one student explained: At the university, I did really well

The curriculumdeveloper integrated proven teaching strategies to ensure the camp instructor allowed students to reflect,assess understanding of concepts at checkpoints, and obtain feedback. Formative and summativeassessments were used throughout the program to assess student knowledge and comprehension. Examplesof formative assessments incorporated in each lesson included low-stakes quizzes, student polls, and exittickets. Participants also engaged in open-ended discussions with peers to help increase comprehension oflearned concepts and encourage critical thinking.At the end of the program, summative assessments given to participants included a cumulative activity anda final
