Additionally, students can earn an 18-credit hour HumanitarianEngineering Minor, which emphasizes how engineering can contribute to co-creating just andsustainable solutions for communities.SummaryWe believe findings from our longitudinal, mixed-methods study will have considerablepotential to enhance ongoing efforts to cultivate social and ethical responsibility among futureengineers, including by investigating differences in perceptions

The core classes aim to achieve the ABET learning goals [5] with specialattention being given to “identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems” and“apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs.” This development ledto the creation of a new course, ME 102 Foundations of Product Realization, an introductorycourse to the relevant fields.

Yet, due to the varied learning outcomes from stu-dents’ high schools, college freshmen without sufficient prerequisites may face obstacleswhen learning domain-specific terms because not all of them are covered in the class-room due to the limited lecture time and the scope of the course. Computer-based learning platforms can provide new learning tools and features thathelp mitigate this problem. For example, a web-based dictionary where every student isable to access and edit content would be a valuable platform for students to share, learn,and consolidate knowledge in domain-specific terms.
