applied to convert resources optimally tomeet these stated needs” [1]. The ABET General Criterion 3, student outcome (c), requires thatstudents demonstrate “an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needswithin realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health andsafety, manufacturability, and sustainability” [1]. The ABET General Criterion 5 states that“Students must be prepared for engineering practice through a curriculum culminating in a majordesign experience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work andincorporating appropriate engineering standards and multiple realistic constraints” [1]. Therefore,capstone design courses and/or the experiences

In order to fill thiscapacity, engineers should be trained not only in technical skills, but also in appropriatetechnologies, knowledge transfer and education processes, culture and community assessment,policy and governance, economic processes and valuation, environmental science, and ethics andsocial justice. Several of our own studies demonstrate how framing engineering educationaround a developing world experience is a positive experience for student learning (e.g.,Mihelcic and

In so doing, this project aims to provide useful maps of an emergent fieldand also develop new methods for mapping engineering practice.Background and MotivationWithin the United States, engineers are fundamentally tasked with being in service to others. Thefirst canon of the National Society of Professional Engineers Code of Ethics commands thatengineers shall “hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public [5].” However,market demands mostly from for-profit corporations and military contractors, and unique laborpractices, have made engineers shift priorities away from the

Senior Lecturer, University of WyomingAbstractEducators revisit their teaching philosophy statement (TPS) when applying for new jobs orpromotion and tenure. However, sharing our teaching philosophy with our students could make asignificant difference. This research presents the results of creating a visual model of myteaching philosophy and sharing it with my students. My teaching philosophy informs mystudents that we learn in teams to gain not only technical knowledge but also skills and ethics. Itexpresses to students that my core values are to care, share, and be fair. I care about their life-long learning, as well as achieving fair grades. The visual model also shows the different levelsof engagement and communication; student-to-student and

To practice this, a relevant, real-world example related to the sustainability of engineered flood-control systems in the New Orleans region is investigated by students. Student projects examine the importance of sustainability throughout the design process as they progress from initial concept to sustainable flood management systems. Introduction The Code of Ethics for the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) states that engineers have an ethical obligation to hold paramount the health, safety and welfare of the public in the performance of their professional duties (Eide, et al., 2002). The Code also addresses sustainability: “Engineers shall strive to adhere to the principles of sustainable
consistent with the educationalrequirements.OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSEThe specific objectives are for the students to:1. Engage in creative engineering.2. Apply fundamental principles to design.3. Learn and participate in the dynamics of team effort and management.4. Critically consider design alternatives.5. Consider scientific, technological, social, ethical, economic, and environmental aspects of engineering as warranted.6. Complete the project within time and budget constraints.7. Practice oral and written communication skills.PREPARING FOR THE COURSEThe Senior Design Project course is quite different in the logistical preparation anddelivery when compared to most other courses in the mechanical engineering

This is a place for a technical resolutionhowever this must coexist with an effort to engage a student own sense of ethical responsibility.A student’s academic integrity is a close correlation with that student’s personal integrity [9].Academic integrity has to exist alongside a personal ethical sense of responsibilityOne of the first steps in this process is for the instructor to define academic integrity

Each of the department specific courses likely has a research component.Library staff are often tasked to familiarize the students with the resources available at UTA.While more than willing to do this multiple times per semester, it is an unnecessary burden,when the information could be presented fewer times if the classes were coordinated among thedepartments. Library personnel are not the only ones affected by the non-coordination. Topicssuch as engineering ethics, technical writing skills, and using the Microsoft Office suite arerepeated through most departmental offerings. Experts on these common topics are also oftentapped for multiple lectures throughout the semester.Students who never switch departments could also be adversely affected

perceived as “real engineering”, which highlights an historically strong set of beliefs aboutpolitically or socially agnostic technical work coming into conflict with a systems approach [5](see also [11]).Riley et al. [12] point to limitations of service learning education in engineering generally, i.e.,limited student engagement with questions about the social, economic, and political interests metby the service learning framework. Relatedly, while Bielefeldt et al. [13] find that environmentalengineering faculty bring more topics about ethics and societal issues into their courseworkrelative to their peers in such fields as mechanical and civil engineering, they also find thatenvironmental engineering faculty perceive ethics and “broad impacts

A nationallyrepresentative study of engineering instructors and administrators showed that both programchairs and instructors reported their programs and courses gave only slight to moderate emphasison understanding how engineering solutions could be shaped by social, environmental, political,and cultural contexts or considerations, despite acknowledging the importance of such emphases[12]. Relatedly, in a longitudinal study of undergraduate engineering students, Cech [13], [14]found that students’ beliefs in the importance of professional and ethical responsibilities,awareness of the consequences of technology, understanding of how people use machines, andtheir social consciousness all declined over the course of their degree program

According toHassan, an assessment should be “something that affects the students’ learning, confidence inthemselves and their skills,” where “the assessment method can enrich the learning method andthey are coupled together by an appropriate methodology of learning and assessment” [55, p.327].Riley and Lambrinidou’s Canons against CannonsRiley and Lambrinidou explored the addition of six principles to the values and principlescurrently expressed in engineering ethics canon, namely the ethical principles: ● Engineers’ primary goal is to help people in need and to address social problems ● Engineers challenge social injustice ● Engineers practice cultural and epistemic humility

As such, engineering students need comprehensive and effectively designedinformation-seeking instruction.Traditionally, information-seeking behavior instruction is formally delivered in person, followedby in-class activities that give students opportunities to practice their skills. In this setting,instructors, librarians, and teaching assistants can directly observe and guide student behavior,while students can ask questions and receive real-time feedback. These interactions have beenshown to improve learning outcomes by facilitating student engagement [5]. With classes movedonline, educators are left to determine
