. Stories have long been used in K-12 and college education. In particular,stories have been used in college education for students to learn about pioneers in STEM 18 ,practice decision-making 19 , etc. Furthermore, stories from traditional culture contain culturalcontexts that are often missing in case studies used for engineering ethics currently.2 DESIGN OF TEACHING MODULESFor this project, we used stories as a vehicle to help students connect virtues to engineering ethics.The main teaching modules we developed are Virtue-of-the-Week modules. To give studentsmore practice on connecting virtues to engineering ethics, we also developed an in-class activityand a student writing assignment.2.1 Selecting StoriesWe started by selecting stories

To best support the growth of an EM inengineering students, researchers have begun to design and implement teaching practices gearedtowards instilling this mindset in their students. However, there is still a dearth of research onassessing teaching practices that provide support for integrating EM into engineering courses.Thus, this work in progress reports the initial efforts to design an engineering-specific teachingpractices assessment tool to serve in a larger project that addresses engineering teachingpractices that infused EM mindset EM development.

Instructors can strive to bring industry members intothe classroom by including them as project mentors or working to include industry clientprojects. Faculty can also encourage students to access practicing engineers outside theclassroom by attending career fairs and career panels or joining project-based teams with anindustry sponsor or industry conference (e.g. design competitions for ASME or ASCE).
