For professional engineers and engineering faculty, themajor concern is performing research sponsored by defense organizations such as the U.S.Department of Defense or a defense subcontractor.Robotics researcher, Ronald Arkin, has written a number of papers1,2 and a book3 in support ofdeveloping ethical principles into war-fighting unmanned systems.

This was a great experience. Personally, I want to use this idea when I am a head of a group ... It really helped our team head for success. I thought that providing feedback was helpful in allowing my group to work better together.

, recent K-12 education reform efforts inthe U.S. and other nations have put a focus on engineering as a strategy for improving STEMeducation and integration1-3. In particular, there is a growing consensus that students needexposure to engineering early on in elementary school, when their initial career interests arebeginning to develop2. While efforts to provide engineering opportunities for elementarychildren have increased in the last decade3, 4, the creation of the Next Generation ScienceStandards (NGSS)5 has made explicit suggestions for introducing engineering into sciencecurricula, positioning it to become an integral part of science education.The inclusion of engineering in elementary classrooms has necessitated the creation of a newbody

Further, while the authors leveraged institutionaladvantages, the methods and content should be transferable to other types of institutions.IntroductionIn our experience, engineering is often viewed as a discipline for people who “don’t want to reador write much.” This has been particularly true of a sub-set of undergraduate students who seeengineering as a career path in which they can leverage their aptitude for math and science into astable, well-paying career. In this worldview, engineers are technical experts who are recipientsof problem definitions and apply scientific and mathematical principles to solve the problems ina technically elegant and efficient manner.

Overall, students reported the same general preference forthe visual learning, but were less active, more sensing, and less global in the retest as comparedwith the test. It seems expected that learning style preferences of engineering students mightchange to some degree throughout a college career, since as faculty we would expect studentexperiences and skills (e.g. problem solving, etc.) to develop with time (we hope!). However,for test-retest administrations within the same semester, large changes in the learning stylepreferences would likely not be expected.
