Through discussion, students see the value of having both types on a team.Each preference is effective given the right circumstances and each contributes to thesuccess of the team.7. Values and Ethical Decision Making In the final weeks of the course, discussion centers on values and on how valuesinfluence team performance. Students typically struggle with this topic. Theyacknowledge that each individual has different values, but they do not understand howvalues relate to engineering design. Values are not inborn, but are developed over time.Students are introduced to the stages of values development: acceptance, preference, andcommitment. Then the instructor introduces

The importance of these attributes is also underlined by its closealignment with the skills delineated by ABET28. The skills outlined by ABET are (a) an abilityto apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering; (b) an ability to design andconduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data; (c) an ability to design a system,component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic,environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability;(d) an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams; (e) an ability to identify, formulate

Each three-week seminar had a class size around 33 students, a lab sizeof about 16 students, and featured a team-based hands-on project. Seminar titles included:Engineering Athletics, Programming a Computer, Green Engineering, Flinging Things, PastaTowers and Digital Logic Design. Not only did these seminars allow a smaller classroom settingand more in-depth study, we found that it provided an opportunity for both students and facultyto take ownership of the course.

In this way, they may begin to “transgress” againstdominant views of engineering that can limit students’ critical thinking and engagement withsocio-political issues within engineering contexts. Liberatory pedagogy also disrupts the statusquo of power dynamics and practices in the postsecondary classroom, opening up space for newclassroom activities and assessments that create a more collaborative and equitable learningenvironment [1].In this paper, I explore the redesign of an undergraduate engineering technology and societycourse in relation to the idea of

In addition, this lack of societalcontextualization causes engineering students’ social responsibility to decrease over the courseof their education [1, 8, 9]. Engineering is sociotechnical by nature; the design process involvestechnical and non-technical (social, economic, environmental, political, legal, cultural, ethical)factors that are simultaneously connected with one another [10-12]. Graduates should beprepared with sociotechnical problem solving skills to tackle the complex engineering challengesfacing the world today and in the future [13, 14].
