past several decades, there has been an increasing emphasis on the importance of engineerspossessing important professional skills, including global readiness or awareness. In 2004, theNational Academy of Engineering (NAE) described the Engineer of 2020 as being proficient in“interdisciplinary teams [with] globally diverse team members” (p. 55).1 As the NAE stated,“While certain basics of engineering will not change, the global economy and the way engineerswill work will reflect an ongoing evolution that began to gain momentum a decade ago.” (p. 4).Engineering graduates will be called to solve increasingly global problems and to work in teamsthat contain members who are either from international locations or are globally distributed.Across the

In Phase I, students are introduced to the major ethical philosophiesby instructors playing the leading thinkers of those traditions. For example, an instructormight play Socrates or Confucius or Augustine or Kant, thus providing a more personal

experiences for undergraduate students that simulate professional “real world”problems creates a natural tension with the obligation to teach course content and skills. Thepressure by employers to produce graduates who are better prepared to work on multidisciplinaryteams is one reason faculty incorporate student project teams into their courses. Yet, mimickingthe professional world may produce performance measures that value product quality overindividual learning in the classroom. Professional settings, which value efficiency and highquality, expect employees to be specialists (depth at the expense of breadth).

This skill gives engineering graduates a competitive edge forpursuing diverse career paths and for responding to a range of social and technological needsthroughout their careers. A component of this competitive edge includes affording students theopportunity to develop an entrepreneurial mindset (EM). According to the Kern EntrepreneurialEngineering Network (KEEN), the EM includes three dimensions: curiosity, creation of value,and connections. While entrepreneurship is frequently associated with commercialization andbusiness, it is a critical but undervalued aspect of designing products and solutions inengineering. Over the past decade, various members of KEEN have embedded the EM inengineering

choices. Firstly, a fundamental factor that contributes to prior experience is individuals’ deep-seated passion for flight and aviation. Several studies found that this passion often develops at ayoung age and serves as a primary motivator for individuals to pursue aviation education [11],[6], [12]. One study of professional female pilots found that their decision to pursue a career inaviation happened at 18.2 years of age [14]. A replication study done with graduates from acollegiate aviation program found this number to be 15.2 years of age [15]. This underscores theimportance of creating an interest in aviation at an earlier age if students are to enroll in acollegiate aviation program prior to entering the workforce. In addition

Many formal courses and programs have in turn been created to promote professionalresponsibility and ethical integrity among engineering graduates. Other interventions (e.g.,service learning programs) have also been developed to more broadly challenge engineeringstudents to develop as engaged citizens and community members. Yet there has been a notablelack of research on measures and understandings of social and ethical responsibility amongundergraduate engineering students. Further, few studies have looked at how such indicatorschange over time and are impacted by specific kinds of learning experiences.
