Within this vast literature, for example, it is unclear whether •   formal educational systems can “produce” such individuals; •   it is best to think in terms of T-shaped individuals, groups, organizations, or processes, or in altogether different terms; or •   the T-shaped ideal in technology entrepreneurship is something new versus the latest incarnation of long-standing discussions about the role of non-technical

As one example of active learning, the use of physical and virtual interactives (orthe combination thereof) for both in-class teaching and outside of class learning has often beenshown to enhance student learning [2]. Similar to all other learning materials, the way in whichinteractives are used can be as

The homework grade average of the two comparativelectures showed a higher average grade for the student-led lecture (94%) over theprofessor-led lecture (88%) in Spring 2016. The Spring 2017 semester showed similarresults, in which the student-led lecture (95%) had higher average grades than theprofessor-led lecture (85%). It can be concluded that the course was not adverselyaffected by the peer-teaching methodology, but also that peer teaching may havecontributed to improved student learning in this course.1

Introduction and Relevant LiteratureWe recently developed a classroom-based, simulation-centric approach to instruction in anundergraduate microelectronics course. In this approach, SPICE simulation tools werefrequently used for lectures, post-exam reflection, and in-class activities involving pairsimulation, a variant of the pair-programming technique.

In the context of ethicsspecifically, philosophers and the philosophical ethics that derive from their work have regularlyhelped shape the theories, direction, and practices of many applied domains. On questions ofpatient and health care in the U.S., philosophers formed the core of early ethical work thatdeveloped into the robust domain of bioethics [1], [2], [3]. On questions of animal health andwelfare, philosophers led the charge in theorizing and arguing against an uncriticalanthropocentrism [4], [5], [6]. On questions of the environment, philosophers again have playedan early seminal role in setting the conceptual stage and framing the landscape of ethics

Based on a series of studiesstarted by O'Leary and Ickovics in 1995, people’s response to high-stress situations (which theylabel ‘adverse events’) follows a normal distribution with four outcomes: thriving, resilience,survival, or succumbing. According to their model in Figure 1, the majority of people recoverand return to their previous level of functioning after experiencing a highly stressful adverseevent. At one tail of the normal distribution, some people grow to a state of thriving with betterfunctioning than before they experienced the adverse event. Similarly

Next, it applies care virtues to engineering to suggestthat care ethics are appropriate values for engineering practice. It proposes that care ethics couldbe incorporated in canons that are based on virtue ethics and suggests revisions and additions tothe NSPE code of ethics that would reflect care ethics. The paper concludes by suggesting that astronger integration of care ethics into the codes of ethics may foster a more widespreadinclusion of care ethics in engineering ethics instruction.IntroductionSince Carol Gilligan’s [1] and Nel Noddings’ [2] groundbreaking work in the 1980s
