interdisciplinarity based on gender and disciplinary affiliation. Themotivation for this study is due to the gap in the literature regarding the evaluation ofinterdisciplinary work and the increase in the number of interdisciplinary undergraduateengineering programs and courses. In addition, research indicates female students give greaterattention to context in a design problem than their male counterparts, and therefore, could havedifferent experiences in interdisciplinary programs, which are context-focused. Literature hasalso indicated potential barriers to a student’s interdisciplinary understanding exist due to thestudent’s affiliation with a particular engineering discipline.An open-ended questionnaire was used to gain an understanding of the

I believe that professionals must: first, be aware of the high impact role they play in society and second, learn to derive professional satisfaction from practicing Appropriate Technology. During the development of my thesis, the assimilation of these concepts was not easy because I had not been exposed to this in my previous experience with as an engineer with a more “traditional” role.

Possible confoundingvariables include native language, education, or literacy. For example, one important issue inthis regard is that STEM researchers’ fluency in English can vary widely. This is crucial intesting for ethical sensitivity given that these tests typically rely on an individual's ability to read,interpret and respond to a vignette. We have designed an ethical sensitivity instrument thatattempts to mitigate some of these factors, thus giving us a more accurate assessment of anindividual's ethical sensitivity to RCR
