During these introductory courses, students report the study of fluid mechanics as abstract,relying on difficult mathematical concepts, and presenting only uninteresting problems that lackconnection to real-world engineering challenges and applications [1]. Notably, researchers havereported that students’ experiences in introductory fluid mechanics courses relate to a negativeperspective shift in their perceptions toward the field [2]. Taken together, these observationssuggest that there is a need to involve students in fluid mechanics activities earlier, and withauthentic and interesting curricula for the purpose of garnering interest and intuition in the topicof fluid mechanics.

Developing and using conceptual models involves creating representations of how a systemworks, which help people know, understand, or simulate a subject the model represents [3]–[6].These representations include underlying structures, relationships, and processes which aid inunderstanding underlying systems of the engineering design problem [3], [4], [7].

deeply in graduate education,interdisciplinary learning has not been highly reflected or cultivated in engineering educationcurricula [1]. This lack of acknowledgment may be attributed to the historical exclusion ofinterdisciplinary ways of being and thinking across the disciplines, which also limits how studentssee themselves as engineers. Historical perspectives within engineering education include thosethat “institutionalize cultural and epistemic injustice” by excluding views that deviate from thedominant ways of thinking in engineering [2, p. 4]. Riley and Lambrinidou [2] expressed how thisapproach to educating engineers may result in engineers who do not feel they fit into the mold ofa stereotypical engineer, which emphasizes technical

According to the Council of Graduate Schools, attritionfrom engineering doctoral programs ranges from 35% for men to 44% for women, with higherrates reported for students in minority groups [1], [2]. Despite such staggering statistics,researchers have just begun to focus on education at the graduate level in response to a call fromthe National Academies for educational change, particularly in science, technology, engineering,and mathematics [3].

With the knowledge gainedfrom this research, first-year engineering programs can better explore how incoming students viewdecision-making and design more effective instructional practices. BackgroundIntroductionEthics is the “standards of conduct that apply to everyone” [1]. It is the difference between rightand wrong. People use ethics to determine how to act when confronted with any situation; askingquestions such as “who will this benefit?”, “who will this harm?”, and “what are theconsequences?”. However, engineering ethics is different from everyday ethics. Engineeringethics are a set of professional ethics, or “those special morally permissible standards of conductthat

engineering education does not encourage or cultivate socially relevant thoughtsgiven the evidence of a lack of meaningful interpersonal relationships within the field (Seymourand Hewitt, 1977). Furthermore, the concerns of a culture of disengagement from social andpolitical issues is prevalent in engineering trajectories (Cech, 2014). Public-inspired science can include elements of 1) science as a “public good,” 2) citizenscience to empower people, 3) service learning, and 4) social justice and investigative science(Edwards, 2016).
