The prototype tool aims to operate within the currentNDMS processes and hospital systems to advance patient care, specifically servingconflict-related casualties. The intent is to contribute to existing literature on patient triagedecision-making methods.Scope and Limitations:The scope of this project is limited to casualties expected to result from a conventional war witha near-peer adversary outside the United States. Also, the scope is restricted to the patientdistribution

It leads usto wonder just how much of the self is separated from the professional identity for theparticipants in our study? We understand and appreciate that people are complex and boundariesare important; however, in an industry that is clearly harming people as evidenced by the highrates of burnout, what is the ethical obligation to support and address this routine violence? In asociety that demands that we give so much of ourselves to a profession, we suggest that ourprofessional spaces should then be required to give something back to our humanity.While it is

Develop technical research skills and effectively communicate research goals and objectives. 2. Develop networking skills through peer and faculty mentor/mentee relationships. 3. Understand safety in the laboratory as well as proficiency in the practice of ethical research principles through certification. 4. Develop critical thinking skills to understand scientific methods used in STEM research. 5.

Ethical approval for this studywas obtained from the University of Toronto under protocol number RIS Protocol Number46956. A mixed-methods research design was employed, combining quantitative survey datawith qualitative feedback from open-ended questions.The goal of the survey was to ask the students on their experience to answer our researchquestions. For our first research question, “Does incorporating cross-disciplinary content inprogramming labs improve students’ perceptions of real-world applications of programming?”,we asked students to what extent related-to-other
grading [3]. Major issues associated with grading includesubjectivity and bias, grade inflation, a focus on grades over learning, and the allocation offaculty time [4]. Grading may also have political and social dimensions, and can involve powerdynamics, issues of agency, and other complex ethical issues [5]. The paper by Schinke andTanner [6] provides a good summary of the history of grading, a discussion of the primarypurposes of grading, and examines some of the pitfalls and challenges. For decades, educatorshave been exploring ways to make grading more effective and efficient (e.g. [7]). However, inengineering in particular, papers specifically describing studies of grading practices are few [8].While grading practices of engineering faculty

Calls to increase participation typically invoke nationalcompetitiveness and the need to fill employment pipelines [7] rather than notions of empowermentand justice. Similarly, the teaching of engineering tends to favor technical over socio-culturalaspects. This is what Leydens and Lucena [8] describe as the prioritization of problem-solvingover problem definition: the former relies on engineering skills, whereas the latter relies on societalunderstanding. When engineering education leaves out problem definition, students are leftunprepared to address the complex challenges and ethical dilemmas that inevitably
